All 31 members of the Arizona House Republican Majority Caucus signed a letter calling on Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes to take executive action to protect Arizona from the crisis occurring at the state’s southern border.
This follows reports from last week where officials from the Biden administration inexplicably welded open 114 massive gates along the Arizona border allowing tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to flood into the U.S.
According to U.S. officials, they opened the gates to allow water to flow freely during the annual monsoon season and to allow an endangered species of antelope to freely migrate.
The Republican lawmakers point out that executive officials in other states such as Texas and Florida have taken proactive action in court to challenge the Biden administration’s unconstitutional border policies.
“Executive officials in other states have rightly challenged the Biden Administration’s policies in court and invoked their constitutional authority to protect their citizens from this invasion. For example, 21 states are proactively litigating President Biden’s overreach of parole power, Governor Abbott has invoked Texas’s constitutional sovereign authority to defend its floating marine barriers in the Rio Grande River, and Florida Attorney General Moody obtained an injunction blocking President Biden’s unlawful mass-release immigration policy,” the letter says.
