Kyrsten Sinema

One of the things that got Senator Kyrsten Sinema`s support for, we, here is it has big provisions in this bill, about four billion dollars for drought remediation.

This is going to be the most expansive, the biggest investment and climate change proposals this country has ever seen.

We have agreed to remove the carried interest tax provision subject to the parliamentarian's review, I'll move forward.

As I stated in a July 28, 2022 memorandum on drought resilience, the Corps is helping states and local communities to adapt to the significant changes in hydrology brought on by climate change.

Freeport is grateful for Senators Kirsten Sinema and Mark Kelly's support and assistance in introducing this long-awaited and critical piece of legislation.

Thank you for your consideration.

This measure is an important step towards parity for urban Native communities, and something that I think we should all be able to agree on.

I am honored to speak about the importance of the Hualapai Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 2022.

Our legislation provides long-term stability to the Hualapai Tribe's water needs in northern Arizona.

The bipartisan infrastructure law increased our Federal public transit investment in communities of all sizes, and I am particularly proud of a provision I worked on with Senator Moran to increase funding to small transit-intensive cities.

I am pleased to hear that DHS has based part of their plan on the Regional Processing Plan's model that I proposed with Senator Cornyn in our Bipartisan Border Solutions Act.

I want to echo what Senator Portman just said about the respect for the men and women who serve in blue and green on the front lines of our border.

It does not sound like there is a very specific plan with actionable items to address this prior to May 23rd.

We have had significant problems with transport in Arizona already.

What I am asking for are specific details regarding Arizona.

In order to meet this moment, DHS needs to be able to share operational details regarding how they plan to move migrants through the processing system in a manner that will keep Arizona communities safe and treat migrants fairly and…

For years I have been working with Arizona's local mayors and our counties to help relieve the burden caused by these street releases.

I have grave concern that this will continue to be a burden on local Arizona communities.

Arizona ports of entry process billions of dollars' worth of produce and other goods each year, and that generates revenue for the Federal Government and, of course, boosts Arizona's economy.

Title 42 has almost entirely suspended migrant processing at ports of entry over the last two years.

Arizona continues to pay the price of Washington's failures on the border.
