Dem AZ Senator Sinema Blasts Biden Administration Over It's Handling of the Border Crisis

Watch as Democrat Arizona Senator Krysten Sinema blasts the Biden Administration for it’s handling of the border crisis:

SINEMA: “What I’m waiting for, Mike, and this will come as no surprise, is for the administration to take bold action to actually address these concerns. But communities like Gila Bend can’t wait for folks to sit in meetings and talk about the solutions. The problem in communities like Gila Bend is they’re getting last-minute drop-offs of migrants in their communities and they got nowhere to put these folks, they got nowhere to take them, and literally the mayor is putting these folks in his vehicle and driving them to Tucson or Phoenix to get them to shelters. That’s not acceptable and that’s what I’ve communicated.”

HOST: “Yeah, and what’s interesting, I talked to the mayor on the air one day and he told me that town of Gila Bend has one ambulance. And if they had to take one of the migrants that had been — maybe tested positive for Covid, they’d have been lost ambulance service for a couple of hours,. And I agree with you wholeheartedly. A community like that cannot afford to even have fourteen or whatever the number was dropped off in their town.”

SINEMAN: No. And there’s no bus stop, there’s no — there’s no shelter, there’s really nowhere for these individuals to ago. So I’ve been saying directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security and to the administration that the funding that I and Senator Kelly got approved in the last Covid package back in March, we got $110 million in that package to help provide funding for border community and for nonprofits who are dealing with the surge.”
