TUCSON, Arizona - An Arizona migrant shelter that has housed thousands of asylum seekers plans to halt most operations in two weeks when funding from Washington runs out, a problem for towns along the border where officials fear a surge in homelessness and extra costs.
Arizona's Pima County, which borders Mexico, has said that at the end of the month its contracts must stop with Tucson's Casa Alitas shelter and services that transport migrants north from the border cities of Nogales, Douglas and Lukeville.
Pima County Administrator Jan Lesher said the county cannot afford the roughly $1 million per week that previously would have been covered by federal funds.
Congress faces a Friday deadline to fund the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which pays for migrant services, along with other federal agencies. Current money could be temporarily extended as a stop-gap measure to keep DHS and other federal agencies running.
But additional funding for the shelter and transportation services has been caught in broader political battles about illegal migration and government spending, and Congress is at an impasse, largely due to election-year politics.

We see signs that we’ve not seen before, indicating this time it’ll be different.
The fact that Trump never led in any pre-election polls prior to present day is one indicator. There will be a red wave, surpassing ‘20’s pale pinkish wave. I expect a solid red wave at minimum, and if things break our way it’ll be a deep burgundy wave retiring a massive bunch of Ds.
We’ve never seen black & Latins leaving the Ds to this degree. It requires only a small percentage to hold fast and avoid going home to the party that’s betrayed them for decades.
Roe v. Wade & COVID won it for Biden. Neither will have the same impact.
This is different. Trump is different, breaking norms left and right. It’s been a century +/- since a Prez lost his White House, but won it back 4 years later. This is the year, Trump is the man.
Ds are desperate. They’ll cheat, but we’ve a better handle on that too.
Shoutout to Jay Valentine’s Omega4America group that uses fractal tech to ID falsified ballots. Mail-in R voting will help, but illegal ballot MANUFACTURING (vs. harvesting) is crucial. I trust Lara Trump & modernized RNC are aware.
Yes, I am optimistic.
“Roe v. Wade & COVID won it for Biden. Neither will have the same impact.”
You can be optimistic, but this reminds me of a very troubling question I had back then. Which was... “why now” on the abortion ruling. I think we know now. Timing is everything... and the left needed an issue to hold onto seats in Congress for the midterms. As it is, we barely gained the House. Not by enough to really result in some stroke, however. Bottom line, I don’t trust the USSC.
I hope you’re right and I’m too pessimistic!
So THIS is where MY taxes are going!
