AZ Gov in Panic Over the Border

On December 8, Hobbs sent a letter to Joe Biden demanding $512 million in reimbursement for failing to secure the Arizona border. The funds were to cover state spending on migrant transport, drug interdiction, and law enforcement. Plus, they would also make up for Customs and Border Patrol’s closure of the Lukeville Port of Entry on December 4 due to migrants overwhelming resources.

So Hobbs hoped that Biden would send the National Guard to help reopen the vital entry port, pleading:

Our ports of entry are essential to our state and our country’s economy, and it is vital that they be properly staffed and resourced to continue to fuel economic growth in the state.
