Kyrsten Sinema says she and others at work on bill that requires temporary closure if over 5,000 undocumented people cross a day
Tough new measures being discussed on Capitol Hill to clamp down on migrants include a new federal requirement to “shut down” the Mexico border if more than 5,000 undocumented people cross into the US daily and plans to swiftly throw out economic migrants, a key senator revealed on Sunday.
