Former Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) put President Joe Biden on notice for refusing to visit the southern border saying the move should be a “no-brainer” for “anyone who is responsible for setting or making policy.”
She told a Fox News reporter: “I absolutely think the president should visit the border. In fact, I think anyone who is responsible for setting or making policy on the border should visit the border. I mean, that’s that’s a no brainer, right?
“This is fact, more people will come when Title 42 expires and it will become a more dangerous situation for not only our border communities but for those migrants themselves.
“The asylum system right now allows individuals to present themselves not just at ports of entry, which is the proper way to do it, but even to come in between ports of entry like in the desert or in a river.

“We shouldn’t allow that to occur.”
Sinema says her decision to leave the Democratic Party is “not specifically related to any one administration’s actions” on the border and that “this administration has not done its duty on the border, though neither did Trump or Obama.”
She wants to lead a bipartisan trip to the border so our leaders can see the crisis up close. “Part of the problem is that many in Washington have never taken the time to really see our border up close,” Sinema said in a floor speech on Tuesday.
“Without seeing it for all of its diversity and its challenges, it can be easy to rely on the partisan talking points instead of focusing on the meaningful, realistic solutions.”
“We’re gonna see what Arizonans see every day because a crisis this big should not and cannot be ignored,” she added.
Sinema refused to respond to @PressSec comments yesterday that “the removal of Title 42 does not mean the border is open. Anyone who suggests otherwise is simply doing the work of these smugglers …”

She says “This is fact … more people will come when Title 42 expires and it will become a more dangerous situation for not only our border communities but for those migrants themselves.” She says the admin needs to better implement existing laws though laws need to change:
