US lawmakers are on the cusp of an “incredible opportunity” to give the next president tools to better control migration at the US-Mexico border, Republican Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa said.
“It needs to be right now,” Ernst said Monday in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Balance of Power show in Des Moines, Iowa. “Whoever we have in the White House come next January, they will have the tools necessary on Day One to have much better border protection and policy than we do today.”
