The article from MSN discusses the backlash against Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema, along with Representative Ruben Gallego, for their support of a Republican-led immigration bill in Arizona.

They are accused of caving to political pressure and abandoning the Latino community, with some calling their support "shameful" and a betrayal of their constituents' trust.
