Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) proposed an immigration measure on March 24 that aims to close loopholes in the asylum system and change policies that may be contributing to the escalating crisis on the southern border.
Upon taking office in January, President Joe Biden revoked a host of Trump-era immigration measures that had largely stemmed the flow of illegal aliens into the country. The changes triggered a surge in illegal crossings, especially by unaccompanied minors, more than 11,000 of whom were being kept in overcrowded facilities as of March 23.
