Sinema criticizes Biden for not preparing for the border crisis despite having two years.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Slams Biden Over Border Crisis

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) did not hold back during an interview on Sunday, criticizing President Joe Biden for his repeated failure to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. The crisis is expected to intensify this week as Title 42 is set to end.

Sinema made the remarks during an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” while discussing the ongoing crisis at the border and new legislation that she has introduced that would act as a “band-aid” to address the issue.

Biden Administration’s Measures Not Enough

Brennan highlighted actions that the Biden administration says they’ve taken to address the situation, including deploying a small number of troops to the border and creating a phone app for migrants. However, Sinema said the administration’s measures “have been announced in the past week or so” despite an ongoing border crisis that erupted immediately when Biden came into office.

“Having 1,500 troops along the U.S.-Mexico border is helpful. It is a border of over 2,000 miles though,” she continued. “So 1,500 troops isn’t gonna get the job done. That’s just the reality.”

Lack of Information from Biden Administration

Sinema expressed concern that the Biden administration has not provided enough information to border communities to prepare for the end of Title 42. She shared that a sheriff of Cochise County had received no information from the Department of Homeland Security or the federal government about what the flow is going to look like, about what they can expect for processing in terms of how long it takes to process migrants.

“What’s unfortunate is that I’m asking for that information and I’m not getting it,” Sinema said of the Biden administration. “And so either the administration has that information and they’re choosing not to share it, which is a problem since we’re the ones who are going to deal with the crisis, or they don’t have it and that’s even more concerning, because how do you prepare for the inflow of migrants when you don’t know what you’re going to expect?”

Washington, D.C. Disconnected from Reality

Sinema said she would like those living in Washington, D.C., “to learn” what living in a state impacted by the border crisis is like. She criticized the system in Washington, D.C. for being deeply disconnected from the real lives and experiences of border communities and the migrants who seek to come to this country.

It’s time for the Biden administration to take action and provide the necessary resources and information to address the ongoing crisis at the border.
