Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who became an independent in December, and Sen. That plan, put forward by then-Democratic Sen. The outline represents the latest effort to tackle an issue that hasn’t seen significant progress on Capitol Hill in decades. The plan also would address the busing of migrants from GOP-led states to Democratic-run cities by having the Department of Homeland Security be in charge of relocating migrants "to end the current challenge of states independently sending migrants to major urban centers without intergovernmental coordination." Menendez's plan would establish a new migration coordination office at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This plan largely includes policies that President Biden can pursue without Congress, until Republicans decide to come to the table and help the administration manage the current challenge." Menendez said his plan "provides a set of policies that will secure our borders without sacrificing our domestic and legal obligations to asylum seekers by working with partners in the region to give people alternative options to illegal smuggling networks. In a statement, Menendez noted that he has repeatedly criticized the Biden administration’s immigration policies, which he described as implementing "short-term deterrence policies that fail to address the cycle of irregular migration at our southwest border."
