Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly has been working with Republicans to find solutions to the ongoing crisis at the southern border, while pushing the administration.

Earlier this year, he was critical of the Biden administration’s plan to end the Title 42 public health order -- which was being used to expel a majority of migrants at the border -- and signed onto bipartisan legislation to delay the move until a plan was in place.
His pressure has produced results. After he called for additional resources at the border earlier this year, a spending bill included $100 million for extra Border Patrol hiring and $1.2 billion for border processing and management. Border Patrol has since been offering hiring bonuses to try and bring in new agents.
