As GOP lawmakers head to border, U.S. to reopen legal crossings
The Biden administration is set to reopen several southern border crossings that have been closed due to record migrant arrivals.

The reopening comes as tighter enforcement by Mexico and a holiday lull has lowered illegal entries. U.S. agents are set to reopen authorized crossings in Eagle Pass, Tex.; San Ysidro, Calif.; Nogales, Ariz.; and Lukeville, Ariz. The closures had been used to compel Mexican authorities to intercept migrants heading toward the U.S.
