The United States needs to address the southern border crisis - at least, that's the word from a Democratic Illinois Congressman.

Earlier this month, Title 42, a rule that allowed the U.S. to turn back migrants for the past three years, ended. 17th District Congressman Eric Sorenson is blaming Republicans for the problems.

In the amendments filed, Sorenson proposed a hiring spree of border patrol agents and a move to stop the trafficking of fentanyl. However, Republicans killed the amendment in committees.
