Arizona Governor Sends National Guard to Border Area
Newsmax ^ | Decdember 15, 2023 | AFP (Foreign Press)

Arizona's Democrat governor said Friday she is sending National Guard soldiers to areas around the U.S. border with Mexico, accusing President Joe Biden's government of "refusing to do its job" on migration.

Katie Hobbs, whose state is a key target for Republicans, last week took fellow Democrat Biden to task after a major crossing was closed, purportedly to allow officials to concentrate their resources on stemming illegal migration.

"Yet again, the federal government is refusing to do its job to secure our border and keep our communities safe," Hobbs said in her order Friday.

"With this Executive Order, I am taking action where the federal government won't.

It would have been cheaper to put up signs saying "Ukraine Border".

The entire US Army would have shown up the next day, for free.

Oh, the Bidenistas are doing their job okay now that their border patrol have started carrying the illegals across the RIO Grande so their ankles don’t get wet. The boyz with the bolt cutters are effective too! High fives and free diapers changes for all! The Moroccans and the Red Chinese are so happy they’re on TV poopin’ their pants in tribute to their new “leader”, Joe Pedeaux.

Yet another Democrat leader complaining about their Democrat president.

Mayorkas always says the border is under control. Yet multiple Democrat leaders around the country, have talked about how they’re coping with huge numbers of illegal aliens.

It is significant to see Democrats publicly criticizing their own president. If Republicans criticize the Biden Administration on Border issues, they will be dismissed as being racist and xenophobic. But the media and other assorted liberal types cannot do the same when their own Democrats criticize Biden for the same thing.

"While Trump's fiery rhetoric on immigration -- he has vowed he will use the military to completely shutter the border -- plays well with his rightwing base, he has not provided details of his plans. For Biden, the issue is complicated as he tries to balance demands from many Americans for tougher controls with calls from the left of his party for a more humane immigration system. Neither side seems ready to tackle the root-and-branch reform of the system that critics say is really needed."

Is this the garbage Newsmax is putting out thes days?

She was for it before she was against it. This woman can’t make up her mind. I guess she wants to appear that she had nothing to do with the boarder chaos.

Simply close the border—maybe the day after Christmas so that people going home for Christmas can stay there. Seal the border, no one crosses and anyone that tries gets ID’d and turned back. Put them on watch lists.

“...took fellow Democrat Biden to task after a major crossing was closed...”

Sounds like she wants this crossing opened.

Three questions not addressed in the article:

1. How many Guard troops will be involved?
2. Will they be armed?
3. What are the rules of engagement?

I will take an educated guess, and say that Gov. Hobbs is just blowing smoke here. Maybe it’ll just be a handful of Guardsmen with binoculars. See something, call the already stretched-thin Border Patrol.

But...but...Katie, your president and his men say the border is secure. You’re not buying in to right-wing conspiracy theories, are you?

Do not be fooled by this corrupt, illegitimate psychopath. SHE WANTS FEDERAL MONEY. That’s all this is about. And once she gets it. The border will remain open and things will progress as is and people will furrow their brows and wonder what happened to all the money.

100%. All scripted to make her look like she cares. She doesn't and she is the problem along with the other corrupt falsely elected rats and rinos in AZ.

Nope,it’s a trap. No Rat Party hack would ever do anything like that. Although I suppose that if she’s an ally of Governor Hair Gel...with an eye to being his Vice Presidential pick...I suppose it could be for real.
