Several prominent Democratic lawmakers have reached a breaking point and are now publicly slamming Joe Biden for his “failure” at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema said the state’s resources are not enough to handle the rising number of people illegally crossing regions of the state.
“It’s clear that not enough is being done,” Sinema said. “Arizona is bearing the brunt of this crisis because the federal government failed to address immigration issues over the last three decades.”
“What I’m waiting for is the administration to take bold action to actually address these concerns,” Sinema added.
“We haven’t yet heard from the Biden Administration, but we continue to call on them for the urgency of the crisis we face.” We need to “create practical solutions that would disincentivize coyotes who are bringing migrants from other countries to our border,” she added.
Sinema was joined by Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, who also called on Biden to reimburse the state for the $25 million they expect the National Guard deployment to cost, but they have yet to hear back from the White House.
“I’ve been down to the border, Douglas, and Yuma. I’ve talked to sheriffs and mayors and the two-sector chiefs and their leadership teams. We’ve got a problem,” Kelly told reporters.
