When the Biden administration doled out millions in border relief money recently, it gave more to New York — the home of Congress’ two top Democratic leaders — than to Arizona.
That NY border must be hell, getting overrun….
Guess it pays to be a democrat and buddy of the Pres. to get border funding in NY.
She’s not complaining about the party (directly), but the inequity of a non-border state getting the lion’s share of money that was supposed to assist the border communities.
And she’s not alone:
“We secured this funding to relieve the burden on border communities and Customs and Border Protection facilities in our border states,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said in a statement. “The administration disregarded this when they awarded significantly more funding to New York City than overstretched border communities. This decision was wrong.”
Mark Kelly has a right to complain. He is also correct.
While New York needs temporary increased funding to deal with influx of migrants here, that should not come at the expense of Border States like Arizona.
In a perfect world the border issue would be handled by adults that would revise the work visa process, put more resources into the immigration courts, and streamline the legal process for applying for visas, asylum and citizenship.
It is painfully apparent that the current system just does not work and to treat it only as a law enforcement matter will continue to bring poor results.
That said… Sinema complaining is pretty hilarious.
She has a right to have an opinion…
When she left she likely took her brain with her and all brain cells she has a right to rub together…no?
What do you Liberals do when you leave?
Wait…I know…you don’t leave till you get kicked out.
Party is a God you serve and obey.
