AZ Democrats cave on FEMA money, crisis coordinator
June 4, 2019
The immigration bill Tom O’Halleran and Ann Kirkpatrick voted for today does NOT provide any of the FEMA money they’ve said is so desperately needed at the border. It also does not appoint a crisis coordinator for the Southern border.
Why did O’Halleran and Kirkpatrick vote for the bill if it doesn’t fix the problem?
Here is some of the press Kirkpatrick and O’Halleran have pushed about the need for FEMA money:
- O’Halleran Press Release: ARIZONA DEMS ASK DHS TO APPOINT ‘CRISIS COORDINATOR’ AT BORDER
- KTAR: Arizona Democrats want ‘federal crisis coordinator’ for border
- Arizona Mirror: AZ Democrats want DHS to do more to aid in humanitarian response …
- Washington Examiner: Arizona Democrats urge DHS to send FEMA to southern border
- The Hill: Arizona Dems ask DHS to appoint ‘crisis coordinator’ at border
NRCC Comment: “Ann Kirkpatrick and Tom O’Halleran caved on their border security priorities today to support the socialist Democrat agenda in Washington.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
