Democratic officials from southern border states were pointing the blame to U.S. President Joe Biden for failing to address the migrant surge, causing the border crisis.

Both Democratic senators from Arizona have supported Republican Gov. Doug Ducey's decision to deploy National Guard soldiers.

Ducey earlier released 500 members of the National Guard for security purposes at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Sen. Krysten Sinema said that the state's resources are not enough to handle the rising number of people illegally crossing in the Tucson and Yuma regions of the state, according to a Washington Examiner report.

Sinema said that it is clear that not enough is being done.

Sinema said that Arizona bears a huge part of the crisis due to the federal government's failure to respond to the issues over the last three decades.

Border Crisis

Sinema has introduced a bill with Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn to address the situation at the border.

The bill would seek the Biden administration to create regional processing centers along the border.

This is part of their effort to ensure that migrants are treated humanely while protecting border town from the strain on resources, according to a Fox 10 Phoenix report.

Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos and Santa Cruz County Sheriff David Hathaway disregard that there is a crisis at the border.

Hathaway said in late April that there is no migrant crisis at the border, but there is a significant increase in the number going on.

Meanwhile, Sinema and Sen. Mark Kelly wanted to reimburse the cost of deploying the National Guard, which is at $25 million.

Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was reported to have promised to address the issues around the Arizona border communities, according to Sinema.

Biden on Thursday told reporters that Congress should take action on immigration issues.

In Rio Grande Valley of Texas and Laredo, Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar said that he is upset with how the Biden administration is portraying the border crisis.

In March, a congresswoman who visited the Donna border facility said that it was housing way over its 250-person capacity.

The congressman noted that there were 5,700 people inside the facility.

Cuellar noted that all they are doing is transferring one kid from one tent to another.

Cuellar was known to be supportive of Biden. However, he said that the administration is not addressing the matter at the border.

Meanwhile, Biden blamed the Trump administration for the ongoing problems at the U.S.-Mexico border.

He noted the failure to cooperate and share important information during the presidential transition period, according to an NBC News report.

Biden said the two departments did not give them access to migration and Defense Department.

Biden had also declined to call the migrant increase at the border a crisis.

The president has recently raised the refugee cap from 15,000 to 62,500 after criticisms from progressives and refugee agencies.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a "historically low" 15,000 refugee cap during his presidency.
