ICYMI: Mark Kelly Has Repeatedly Voted Against Border Security

Commentary

When voters see candy-colored fentanyl pills flooding into Arizona two months before Halloween, they should blame Joe Biden and Mark Kelly.

Joe Biden and Mark Kelly’s attacks on border security have created the worst border crisis on record, overwhelming law enforcement and handing over control to the cartels trafficking illegal immigrants and deadly drugs.

Democrat Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, who is up for reelection in November, has repeatedly voted against border security measures and enabled the Biden border crisis.

Kelly voted against border security at least three times in 2021 alone. In February of 2021, Kelly voted against an amendment that would have kept the Biden administration from being able to cancel existing border wall contracts.

In May of the same year, Kelly voted against border security again, this time voting against an amendment that would have prohibited the Biden administration from cancelling border wall contracts for which funds had already been appropriated. Kelly similarly voted against border security again in August.

Kelly has also voted to end Title 42, which allows the government to suspend entry of immigrants into the United States for reasons of public safety. Kelly was previously critical of the Biden administration’s plan to end Title 42, saying that “it’s going to be a crisis.”

Additionally, the Democrat Senator from Arizona voted against a measure that would have prohibited the Internal Revenue Service from hiring any new agents until the U.S. Border Patrol doubled its forces.

Kelly has voted for Joe Biden’s preferred policies 94 percent of the time.

Since Biden took office, nearly 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed into America, including just under 200,000 who came into the United States in July 2022 alone.
