Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs' move to end a Border Strike Force is drawing intense criticism from Republicans in the state, amid an ongoing migrant crisis at the border.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs addresses students as first lady Jill Biden visits Mesa Community College in Mesa, Ariz., Monday, Feb. 13, 2023, to highlight how affordable community college programs like Mesa College Promise are providing students with career-connected learning opportunities that lead to good-paying jobs.The decision to ditch the force has the support of one of the most high-profile Democrats in the state -- U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.
"In the same manner that Joe Biden has destroyed our country with his welcomed support for the prolonged lawlessness and drug crisis along our southern border, Katie Hobbs is destroying Arizona in three short months since taking office by her reckless dismantling of the Border Strike Task Force," Rep. Paul Gosar, said."Countless more people will die from Hobbs’ open border policies.
Rep. Debbie Lesko, said the force"was created to help combat the criminal cartels who are now freely smuggling migrants and record-amounts of deadly drugs across our southern border."
