The mayor of Yuma, Arizona, declared a “state of emergency”
over the border crisis that has maxed out migrant shelters
in his community.
“Migrants being released into the community faster than they
are departing, and shelters and the staff to run them are at
max capacity,” a tweet on the City of Yuma Twitter page
states quoting Mayor Douglas J. Nichols. “A state of
emergency is declared.”
“By signing this proclamation we are looking to do a couple
of things. Making sure that, not just locally but throughout
the country, it is clear that we are in a position that
needs to be rectified on a national level. Not just within
the resources of our Yuma community,” Mayor Nicholls said in
a statement published by KYMA in Yuma. “Two is to try to
avert the threat of hundreds of people roaming the streets
looking to satisfy basic human needs in our community and
not having the resources to do so and the reaction of the
citizens of Yuma looking to protect their property and their
way of life.”
We need a wall and we need immigration laws...not worrying about Yemen!!!
I guess that would be the exact opposite of a sanctuary city. Mayor of Yuma sounds like a good man.
