Several border state Democrats are blasting the Biden administration's handling of the crisis at the southern border, as the expiration of Title 42 looms.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, tells ‘Fox News Sunday’ that the U.S. needs to enforce stronger repercussions for those who cross the border illegally., as lawmakers brace for the crisis to go from bad to worse with the coming end of the Trump-era Title 42 policy.
"The Biden administration had two years to prepare for the end of Title 42 and did not do so, and our state is going to bear the brunt," Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., said during an interview with CBS on Sunday. Sen. Mark Kelly, R-Ariz., told 12News in April that he does"not have a high level of confidence" in the Biden administration's current plan for after Title 42.
Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who launched a 2024 campaign for Sinema's Senate seat, also warned in a letter to the administration that communities"are simply unequipped to handle the surge of migrants."
