Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) offered a stark warning to the administration as he visited the U.S.-Mexico border this week: Without a comprehensive plan, they could face a “humanitarian crisis.”
**SNIP**
Kelly is leaning in to a border fight with the administration as he seeks his first full six-year term in November. Republicans view immigration as a potent political issue not only in Arizona - a border state with one of the country’s largest Hispanic populations - but in states with races far from the border.
Kelly, speaking with reporters during his fifth trip to the state’s southern border since joining the Senate, said he was in frequent contact with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas but that the administration reaction had so far been “unacceptable.”
“Right now we have a crisis on our southern border. … Right now this administration does not have a plan. I warned them about this months ago … and they do not have a plan in place on how to deal with the increased numbers. And it’s going to be, to be honest, it’s going to be a crisis on top of a crisis,” Kelly said.
Kelly is typically a reliable ally for Biden and has avoided the sort of backlash from fellow Democrats that has sparked talk of a primary challenge against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) - who isn’t on the ballot until 2024.

The border is being overwhelmed right now. Unless those democrats do something RIGHT NOW their complaints should be written off as nothing more than election year posing.
Florida and North Dakota will happily re-elect their Amnesty Senators.
It’s pretty much Mexifornia right now. Even the ‘Rats are getting worried.
BTW we are not getting the "Tired and poor huddled masses". These are the dregs of the society they are leaving. Illiterate, amoral and owned by the cartels.
Republicans have it so much easier, we’ll re-elect them no matter how many times they betray us.
Kelly votes straight communist, is a gun grabbing puke, and just cast a vote for that lunatic for the Supreme Court. He stole his election and thinks he can con enough people to get back in. So he has to pretend to care about the border. He’s doing what Manchin and Sinema are doing, playing let’s pretend.
It’s an election year for this particular menace though.
Don’t test democrats on the border issue or any issue.
Their current ‘new’ stance is temporary, until the election cycle is over. Promises during an election cycle are meant to win over the voters, and then, after the election, they go back to being the radical democrats they’ve been. After the election, they’ll be urging Biden to kill Title 42.
All promises will be forgotten after the election, just like all of Biden’s promises went down the toilet after the election.
Trust but verify does not apply with democrats. EVER!!!
With democrats, it’ NEVER TRUST ANY OF THEIR PROMISES, or any of their words.
Perhaps the border control can be repurposed to enforce mask mandates on citizens
We are finding out real quick that those illegals that are invading our nation cannot find jobs they become easily beggars on the streets and homeless. We have a real problem on our hands
They’re all craven liars.
I think they misspelled "Fiden."
Mark Kelly will change his tune after the election.
Political theater for the retarded.
Isn’t it ironic that’s the Hill is letting everyone know how tough he is on the border issue.
The same site pro Democrat site?
It’s almost like they’re trying to gaslight us.
There is no such thing as an unattended bicycle here. They are stolen from the front yards. You see illegals riding around on kiddie bikes, still with ribbons sailing on the handlebars.
They are checking out open garages and looking for "opportunities" just like they did in the sh!t holes they came from.
Kelly is following the McCain re-election model, talk tough on immigration before an election, win the election, and ignore immigration until the next election.
They all got kickbacks of of it now they know they screwed up big time with a high price to pay.
