As we reported last Friday, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) expressed her displeasure over the Biden Administration's "failure to secure our border," requesting that the president "reassign National Guard troops" to assist in the reopening of the critical Lukeville Port of Entry: ....Arizona Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs wrote a letter to the federal government demanding they reimburse her state over half a billion dollars for the transport of illegal immigrants, drug interdiction, and law enforcement “due to the federal government's failure to secure our border.”

Is she up for re-stealection? There's something else going on here. These democrat governors and mayors know what the illegal vegetable has been doing, and they have been complicit. Until now! What's behind those curtains? I don't know if it's follow the money, but there's something there.

Put your finger into the wind to see which way it's blowing, AND
THEN do the opposite of what you have been doing when you can read the writing on the approaching wall ... well it's TOO LATE !

Remember, voter fraud only works because there are so many dumbed down dishonest voters. It's an election year, and too many Democrats are ticked off by all the illegals. Democrat governor secures the border. Everything better now. Remember to vote democrat!

OK, Really, Is she sending them to secure the border, or is she sending them to help process the invaders paperwork, sign them up for Welfare, feed them and transport them further north?
If it is not the latter, I'll be pleasantly surprised.... No, I'll be shocked.

Her cartel sponsors must have decided the cross-border flood of people is hurting their business in some way.

She's a dem - we'll see what comes of it. I remember when Republican Governor Jan Brewer tried the same thing. The False Prophet immediately got on his plane, flew to AZ, put his finger in her face on the tarmac, and scolded her about staying out of his jurisdiction.

They are just trying to funnel them back through Texas until the election. Can't have the invading hoard swamping a democrat controlled state.

The first thing Kari Lake would have done was close the border.

I heard all this BS during the 2020 election. I'm in the crowd that expects Joey to win again based on massive voter fraud.

Texas has had some success plugging the holes in the border, causing the coyotes to bring more illegals to Arizona. That being said, I am sure that Hobbs has some kind of ulterior motive here.

FTA: 'It appears Gov. Hobbs didn't get an answer she liked. On Friday, she issued an executive order placing National Guard troops on the U.S.-Mexico border, including at Lukeville, Arizona' I'd be impressed if they had orders to shoot to repel. As is, they're probably there to hand out teddy bears and soccer balls.

Because I live in Tucson, I can give you the Zonie take on the very appropriate question, "Why now?" Local media is buzzing about the Mexican military finding TEN IEDs at the AZ border near Tucson. Hobbs had to do something before CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes and alphabets start reporting about the IEDs. On top of that, the Tohono Oodham Nation near the border has officially called for federal help with the onslaught of illegal immigrants and drugs they are experiencing and Hobbs can't ignore the Native Americans. She was forced to act because she can't ignore either of these issues.
#5 is right. Hobbs announced that the National Guard will be used for administrative purposes like processing paperwork or feeding the illegals. The sycophantic national media will report she's tough and "took on Biden" and of course NOT report that they will function as paper-pushers only.
Most locals feel that some help, however small, is better than nothing. Even if the Guard only serves an administrative function at least the Border Patrol might then be freed up to do THEIR job---IF they are not restrained by Biden. That's the real question. IEDs and Native Americans' demands cannot be easily dismissed.

The troops will probably be used as babysitters to mind the kids while paperwork is processed allowing the invaders into the US.
Anyone thinking this means armed patrols turning back illegals hasn't really been paying attention. If they dare to interfere with the invasion, the US Border Patrol will probably assault the Guard, not the invaders.

The NEW & IMPROVED (election year) Democrat tough on illegals strategy...put the State National Guard on the border...BUT if the illegals still manage to get in, give them free housing, education, healthcare, and legal assistance PLUS free transportation to wherever they want to go (preferably to a still-red state). We get it.

As governor, the National Guard is under her command. The president can ask her to mobilize them but she doesn't need his permission. Katie should have done this the minute she was sworn into office.

Until the twin 50s with interlocking fire are in place, don’t bother me with empty rumors.
