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.

Both Kelly and Sinema stole their seats. So did Hobbs. So did Janet Napolitano twenty years ago. The Democrats steal everything in Arizona, but we don’t vote for them.
Maybe we should send busses to the Central America states to bring them up without walking? Or special trains to carry them from Mexico’s ports to the USA? That way they can come without having to walk or be trafficed. The Cartels could run the bus service! That way we could get to the Biden goal of one billion Americans!
“You got what you voted for.”
We all got what they voted for.
Arizona re-elected McCain repeatedly.
South Carolina has repeatedly re-elected Grahamnesty.
Florida has repeatedly re-elected Micro Rubio.
These Democrats Reps and Senators are fodder for the DNC.
