Mark Kelly's Broken Promise

Democrat Mark Kelly promised to fix the border wall gaps near Yuma, Arizona, but Kelly has failed. Six months later, “nothing has been done since then,” KYMA reported last night. It is another broken promise from Mark Kelly.

After Joe Biden shut down border wall construction his first day in office, gaps in the wall remained. Unused border wall materials piled up. Illegal immigrants flocked to the gaps. “Yuma’s wall gaps have become a symbol of the border crisis and a point of confusion for locals I’ve met at the wall,” KYMA reported.

The Biden administration has now walked back its plan to fix the gaps. Yuma Mayor Doug Nicholls told KYMA, The latest release from the secretary’s office talks about one gap in Yuma being closed. Well there’s 52 gaps.” Mayor Nicholls said that is not what he discussed with Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. DHS has not responded for comment to KYMA.

It represents a pattern with Mark Kelly, whose rhetoric does not match reality. KTAR pressed Kelly about another broken promise — to make Biden pay for Arizona National Guard troops on the border. Kelly revealed to KTAR that he regularly talks to Mayorkas and said, “it’s a constant negotiation with this administration on the border.” Mark Kelly must be the worst negotiator in the country.

“Democrat Mark Kelly’s broken promises are stacking up like the unused border wall materials in Yuma. Mark Kelly failed to deliver a promised fix to border wall gaps. Instead, Kelly has delivered a record-breaking border crisis that is overwhelming Border Patrol agents and small towns like Yuma.” – RNC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
