Just two weeks ago, the crisis at the border broke another historic record under the Biden administration.
A report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows that border patrol agents encountered 239,416 illegal aliens in May, a new record number.

Earlier this week, Ducey signed a bill into law that will send hundreds of millions of dollars to build a border wall on Arizona's border with Mexico.
The legislation will send $335 million in state cash to "construct and maintain a border fence, purchase or install border security technologies, and to pay associated administrative costs," according to Ducey.
It will be a part of a $564 million border security funding package, the most ever spent by the state.
The governor said the funds will provide critical resources that law enforcement agents need to successfully do their job, adding that he will fight to secure the border until "Washington, D.C., finally acts."
Blaming Biden for the worst border crisis in over 20 years, Ducey said he is committed to protecting his state from Democrats' open border policies that have driven drugs and sex trafficking to enter the U.S.

Amazing how he does this right before the primary.
I take it Kari Lake is kicking Ducey’s arse in the polls?
Kari needs to get on his a$$ for this.
Why wasn’t it done sooner? What plan does he have for eliminating illegals from AZ? Why doesn’t the governor call forth the militia and repel the invasion? That is one of their constitutional missions.
Interesting - I thought the AZ Governor spot was vacant.
Just like here in Texas. Abbot is all talk, nothing ever done.
LOL
Ducey has surfaced because he heard there was an upcoming election.
just wondering if there is any recent movement on the southern front
Doug Ducey is not able to run for re-election due to term limits. It’ll probably be Kari Lake against that witch Katie Hobbs in November.
He’s not running, he’s trying to help the GOPe candidate so he can run for senate in 2024.
Douchey is panicking as he sees the pro-Trump primary results around the country...
He needs to go...
When is he up for reelection?
What the heck is a “border fence”!!
“Abbot is all talk, nothing ever done.”
That’s how I’ve always looked at the situation. It’s almost as if he has a side deal with the cartels.
Since the beginning, the terms fence/wall/barrier have been interchanged. It’s the purpose that matters...and that purpose is to keep the damn illegals out.
Oh no! More illegals falling off the bollard border wall as been reported. Do we need more ambulances and EMT’s?
I would HOPE it would be a continuation of Trump's wall. The materials are already paid for, just laying there rusting at Mushbrain's orders. I would HOPE it wouldn't simply be the kind of stuff you find enclosing Home Depot's back lot.
After being part of the 2020 Big Steal in AZ, Gov. Douchebag now poses as a pol concerned about illegal immigration.
Where was he when the 2020 election was being stolen?
She is. Lake is a fricking monster.
