Border-state Democrats are frustrated to see New York claim most of a recent migrant relief infusion. But Arizona's formerly Democratic senator is speaking out the loudest.
But when the second tranche came out and sent more than $100 million to New York, Sinema said she told officials at DHS and the White House: “This is outrageous, how is this even happening?’” In the interview, she called the decision “deeply, deeply wrong.”
“This administration has been working from day one to build a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system and we’ve led the largest expansion of lawful pathways for immigration in decades,” said a White House spokesperson. “We are committed to our continued partnership with border communities to ensure they can receive the support they need.”, Schumer and Jeffries touted that they put the needs of New York City “front and center” and described the state’s $104.
“We secured this funding to relieve the burden on border communities and Customs and Border Protection facilities in our border states,” Sen. 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.”
Sinema has not decided whether she will run for reelection; Gallego is running as a Democrat and focusing some of his political attacks on her more conservative politics. Even so, some topics transcend ideology: Gallego’sand said in a statement he “will continue to fight to correct this injustice.” “FEMA’s decision to divert resources away from Arizona is insulting to border communities who are on the front lines of the border crisis and bear the brunt of CBP decompression,” Gallego said, citing statistics that show daily crossings in excess of 1,000 in Tucson.
