The group of eight U.S. senators who visited the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas, on Jan. 9 has vowed to find a bipartisan solution to the growing immigration crisis.

Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), and Chris Coons (D-Del.) joined Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) on the trip to El Paso shortly after President Joe Biden visited the border for the first time since he took office two years ago.
