Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) criticized President Joe Biden for ignoring the current surge of migrants at the nation’s southern border during his first speech before Congress on Wednesday night.
“While I share President Biden’s urgency in fixing our broken immigration system, what I didn’t hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border,” Kelly said in a statement following the president’s speech. “I will continue holding this administration accountable to deliver the resources and staffing necessary for a humane, orderly process as we work to improve border security, support local economies, and fix our immigration system.”
