Migrants flooding Yuma, Arizona, overwhelm hospitals, strain resources: city official

...

Illegal immigrants have flooded Yuma hospitals and have caused some residents fearing their safety to hire armed security, a Yuma city official told Fox News.

"Two of these families down here actually had to hire private security guards — armed security guards — to keep people out of their yards," a Yuma county supervisor, Jonathan Lines ... They were constantly having people come into their homes, into their yards, and they were not very respectful."

Nearly 1 million of the 4 million migrants who have crossed into the U.S. since Biden took office traveled through Arizona's southern border, according to Customs and Border Protection. Border Patrol's Yuma sector saw a 171% increase in migrant crossings between 2021 and 2022.

You should first post signs: trespassers will be shot.

In multiple languages, of course.

Not “dealt with”, shot.

And Doug Ducey did what to protect the citizens of his state?

I can remember riding a bike around Yuma when I was 10 and it was so safe, we never thought anything would happen.

But that was centuries ago it seems

Mil is right there: Yuma MCAS. Also the Goldwater range just to the East, and Army proving ground just to the North.

They just let the illegals run across their ranges. Maybe the air base too. It would be racist to stop them, ya know?

I met the principal of the middle school I went to back in 1967-68. He's in his early eighties now.

I had the opportunity to tell him how lucky we all were to have gone there. The exciting teachers, brand new school, interesting classes. The school had an olympic-size pool that was lots of fun.

He told me he knew how great it was too, and then said this, staring me directly in the eyes: "It will never happen again."

The pool was permanently closed back in the '90s.

Yup. That’s when it was. ‘65 in Yuma.

So goddamn hot, the dog crawled under the car to get some shade. But it was pretty calm. Nothin’ but us Evil Caspers there.

Bout 10 years ago a smuggler sideswiped an Air Police truck on the gunnery range. Video still out there somewhere on the net.

The AP guys didn’t open up. I couldn’t figure out why.

Unfortunately, the US military has been effectively neutered by the Biden mis-administration and its WEF/Communist policies

FWIW, Yuma county went for Kari Lake 56 to 43% and Blake Masters 52 to 46%.

Corrupted elections have consequences.
