"Sen. Sinema Urges Bipartisan Action on Border Crisis and Immigration Reform"

Senator Kyrsten Sinema criticized both Democrats and Republicans for not considering a bipartisan bill to address the devastating border crisis in Arizona, emphasizing the need for reforming asylum rules and enforcing immigration laws. Sinema defended the legislation she drafted with Sen. James Lankford, stressing that it aims to make it easier to enforce border security and requires the administration to implement these policies. She expressed disappointment in her colleagues for prioritizing politics over the lives of those affected by the crisis and clarified mischaracterizations of the bill's emergency authority to prohibit migrant entry.
