PHOENIX (AP) — The Biden administration’s decision to end sweeping asylum limits at the border this May satisfied demands by prominent Democrats eagerly awaiting the end of a program created by Donald Trump in the name of public health.
But it creates thorny political challenges for border-region Democrats who face the likely prospect of an increase in migrants who have for two years been denied the chance to seek asylum in the United States.
In unusually harsh critiques of a president from their own party, some of the congressional Democrats with the toughest reelection prospects are warning that the administration is woefully unprepared to handle the situation. Previous rises in migration have strained law enforcement agencies and nonprofits on the border trying to provide security and shelter.
“This is a crisis, and in my estimation, because of a lack of planning from the administration, it’s about to get worse,” said Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona.
Kelly and fellow Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema met Wednesday with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to press their case for the administration to better plan and coordinate a response.
Kelly, Sinema and other skeptical Democrats say the emergency powers must go away eventually, but they say the federal government has failed to develop and share plans to minimize the impact on communities near the border and the local religious and nonprofit groups that help migrants there.

Warned lol. Sabotage is Sabotage.
Those dem-o-rats own it. You got what you voted for.
So, what do you propose to do about it? Hmm??? No one has the backbone to do a thing about any of it. I am so tired of reading about stuff no one is able to fix.
Bush Leaguers are quietly cheering.
They all belong in an asylum.
An insane asylum.
And Republican voters will get the amnesty they voted for re-electing Amnesty Senators.
Treason is Treason!
The Rats actually do belong in an asylum.
The Democrats on the border might as well start finding offices to set up their law practices. Biden no longer has any need for them.
I think gun grabbing China sellout Mark Kelly is in big trouble.
Oh, I thought they were concerned about him being committed...
Come on Potato Joe! Do 1 single thing to unite Americans. Protect our border!
That was my first thought.
Cmon look at the positives. At least lawns in Beverly Hills will be well cared for…..
They are permitting it because this is their saving grace! And unfortunately it is!!
This pisses me off no end! First of all, they’re not “migrants” if they don’t go home after a few months. And secondly, why are religious organizations helping these illegal aliens evade the laws put in place to protect Americans? What they’re doing is also illegal, and they need to be stopped!
Been going on since the 60’s. Republicans = Democrats+
All we need to do is show these illegals will vote Republican and the problem will be solved overnight.
