Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) said that she is “livid” that New York City is receiving more than $100 million in federal funds to help cover the cost of providing services to asylum seekers.

“What we’re experiencing here in Arizona is matched only by what folks are experiencing in southern Texas,” Sinema said during an event in Yuma, an Arizona city near the U.S.-Mexico border. 

“Those are the two communities that are experiencing this crisis,” she continued. “The rest of the country is seeing some elements of it, but we are facing the brunt. And it is wrong and unfair that the [Shelter and Services Program] money is going to places other than south Texas and south Arizona.”
