Pennsylvania's Republican-led state senate has plans to put forth a bill that would divert flights carrying migrants across the U.S. to President Biden's home state of Delaware.

State Sen. Doug Mastriano of Chambersburg said Thursday he would be co-sponsoring the legislation.
'We need to further examine the total number of illegal immigrants being sent to [Pennsylvania] by plane and bus,' said Mastriano, who is also running for governor.
'We also need to look at how much this is costing
