Thanks to the COVID-19 relief I helped secure for Arizona, our state has ramped up vaccination efforts and provided relief and support for Arizona families, small businesses, and schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI welcome President Biden\u2019s call for Republicans and Democrats to continue working together on investments in education, infrastructure, and technology like increasing domestic manufacturing of semiconductors to maintain our competitive edge over China and create the jobs of the future in Arizona,\u201d Kelly continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWhile I share President Biden\u2019s urgency in fixing our broken immigration system, what I didn\u2019t hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border, and 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/04\/29\/mark-kelly-biden-immigration-485054\"><span class=\"s1\">Politico<\/span><\/a>, Kelly said, \u201cThis continues to be a major problem that shouldn\u2019t fall on the shoulders of Arizona communities. And I think it was important to highlight that it wasn\u2019t part of the address last night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He said, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to address this and it can\u2019t be on Arizona taxpayers and Arizona towns that are really struggling right now. It\u2019s a federal government problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Biden administration has avoided using the word \u201ccrisis\u201d when referring to the rise of migrants at the border, but Kelly did not shy away from that language. According to the outlet, Kelly said that Biden did \u201cnot specifically\u201d touch on \u201cwhat I would say is a crisis on the border in Arizona and Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelly said he has been in regular discussions with both Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He added that he\u2019s requested the White House to send additional resources to combat the rise in migration. He recognized that Biden had many topics to address in a finite amount of time, \u201cbut I thought [the border] was an important issue to be addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/bidens-joint-address-to-congress-key-takeaways-11619667963\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> that Biden used his speech to call on Congress to pass the immigration proposal he put out on the first day of his administration. But that plan, which would make a \u201cpathway to citizenship for the approximately 11 million people who entered the country illegally, overstayed visas or have obtained temporary protection from deportation, doesn\u2019t include the increased border security that Republicans have sought in exchange for legalization,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/6-major-things-biden-failed-to-address-in-his-speech-to-congress\">The Daily Wire<\/a><\/span> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9.5148247978437\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Instead of directly addressing the issue, Biden called on Congress to \u201cend our exhausting war over immigration.\u201d Biden failed to talk about the\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/biden-admin-shuts-migrant-center-where-teen-girls-had-to-use-plastic-bags-as-toilets-says-report\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>alarming<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-makes-false-claims-about-border-crisis-were-not-holding-children-in-cells-separating-from-parents\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>conditions<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0that migrants have been subjected to under his administration and how border officials have been overwhelmed by the crisis, over which members of his own party have been sounding the alarm for months.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Biden said, \u201cFor more than 30 years, politicians have talked about immigration reform and we\u2019ve done nothing about it. It\u2019s time to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He added, \u201cNow look, if you don\u2019t like my plan, let\u2019s at least pass what we all agree on. Congress needs to pass legislation this year to finally secure protection for DREAMers, the young people who have only known America as their home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cLook, immigrants have done so much for America during this pandemic and throughout our history. The country supports immigration reform,\u201d he said. \u201cWe should act. Let\u2019s argue over it. Let\u2019s debate over it.
