Democratic senator unveils plan to tackle immigration reform and border security

A Democratic senator who represents a southern border state moved to push lawmakers to address immigration reform and border security with a plan that he hopes can please both Democrats and Republicans.

Four months into his first term, Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) introduced a framework on Monday that addresses the “broken” state of America’s border and brings illegal immigrants “out of the shadows,” known as “Securing the Border and Fueling Economic Prosperity.”
