Sinema, via her congressional office, expressed an interest in seeing more “action” from the Biden administration regarding the border. The Arizona Democrat then opined that at least some of this action ought to entail Biden working with state officials on remedying the border crisis.
Sen. Kelly is in the same boat as Sinema. In Kelly’s written statement, he declared that Biden’s congressional address lacked a plan to restore order to the border. The Democrat senator furthermore noted that he’ll keep pressure on the president to provide the necessary support, resources, and staff to fix the border and other related crises.
No response from the Biden White House
At least a minority of Democrats have joined the GOP in holding Biden to task on the Southern border. Sadly, though, the Biden administration has yet to respond to the aforementioned remarks from Sens. Sinema and Kelly.
Vice President Harris also remains notably silent. In March, Biden appointed Harris to lead the charge on fixing the Southern border. Weeks later, the American public is still waiting for action — or even just a border visit — from the vice president.
