Dems divided over migration solution as Harris faces critical test.

Senate Democrats are divided over how to handle the expiration of pandemic-era power to expel migrants at the southern border. A group of moderate Democrats, including Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, are proposing to extend the authority for two more years, while others argue that the expulsion authority blocked legal pathways for migrants to seek asylum and amounted to a human rights violation. The party's division on the issue is at the forefront of the toughest Senate races in the country, and there are low expectations that the Senate Democratic majority can quickly bring anything to the floor to counter the House Republican border bill that passed narrowly on Thursday.
