Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is 'livid' New York City received over $100 million in FEMA funding to help it deal with its migrant crisis, which she said is eclipsed by Arizona's.
said this week she is"livid" New York City got a massive injection of federal funding to tackle its migrant crisis while her home state and Texas have been bearing the"brunt" of the migrant surge for years.
"Today’s $104.6 million in funds is the largest share of the federal dollars released via the new Shelter [and] Services Program we created and will defray a critical portion of the city’s asylee-related costs," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement to Politico.
"New York City continues to be disproportionally challenged by an influx of asylum seekers, and it will take an all-hands-on-deck, every-level-of-government approach to solve." While not all of those encounters resulted in a release into the U.S. interior, those at the border have noted that the numbers released into their communities are much higher than those in New York."What we’re experiencing here in Arizona is matched only by what folks are experiencing in southern Texas," Sinema said."Those are the two communities that are experiencing this crisis. The rest of the country is experiencing some elements of it, but we are experiencing the brunt.
