Misleading headline. The border has not been closed in either state. All that has been done is the Democrat governors are politically posturing to hit the Republicans in a vulnerable spot. Plus, they're getting some federal funds given to their states. The amount of money that will make it to hard hit Cochise County where I live won't even cover the annual cost of incarcerating the illegals we have to keep or for the extra law enforcement costs caused by the border invasion. It is a political stunt, nothing more.
