Arizona’s newly registered Independent, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, says she anticipates leading a bipartisan group of senators to the U.S.-Mexico border in the next Congress to see the “broken” immigration system, and Democrats are outraged over it.
“Part of the problem is that many in Washington have never taken the time to really see our border up close,” Sinema said Tuesday, according to The Hill. “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.”
Sinema said she, alongside North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, plans to lead the bipartisan group of senators in January “who are willing and committed to get something done” on immigration.
“We’re gonna see,” she adds, “what Arizonans see every day because a crisis this big should not and cannot be ignored.”
Social media erupted with hateful comments towards the Independent Senator now that she has left the Democrat Party and plans to expose Democrats for their lies, including the much-neglected southern border.
