For three years, we have heard denial after denial from Democrats that there is a crisis at the Southern border, yet now they are begging for help. First, New York City Mayor Eric Adams voiced his concerns, only to find himself the target of a scandal and an FBI raid at his residence.
Katie Hobbs, the questionably elected Democrat governor of Arizona, is the latest Democrat to lash out at Biden, as her state has become overwhelmed with a never-ending stream of illegal aliens.
On Friday, Hobbs addressed the Biden administration in a letter, blasting the administration for its failed border policies and calling for $512 million in reimbursement to address the issue.
The federal government must act immediately to solve the unmitigated crisis caused by the Lukeville Port of Entry closure.

Is an FBI raid imminent for Hobbs? KaneKoa The Great, an investigative journalist, offered his perspective:
NEW – Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs demands half a billion dollars from President Biden to cover escalating costs of illegal immigration crisis.
How long till the FBI raids her home like Mayor Adams?
Hobbs accuses Biden of creating an “unmitigated humanitarian crisis” that puts “Arizona’s safety and commerce at risk.”
“For far too long, Arizona has continued to bear the burden of federal inaction in managing our southern border.”
“Due to the federal government’s failure to secure our border, the State of Arizona has spent $512,529,333 on border operations, including migrant transportation, drug interdiction, and law enforcement.”
This comes days after @POTUS set a new record as @CBP encountered over 12,000 migrants in a single day at the southern border.

Katie Hobbs all of a sudden now wants Biden to help her stop the border crisis and wants to stop the chaos at the border after the cartels clearly helped her “win in Arizona” and their machines went down in her election.

Daily Mail reported (excerpt):
Hobbs in her letter slammed the closing of the Lukeville crossing, saying it ‘has led to an unmitigated humanitarian crisis in the area and has put Arizona’s safety and commerce at risk.’
‘Our ports of entry are essential to our state and our country’s economy, and it is vial that they be properly staffed and resourced to continue to fuel economic growth in the state,’ she added.
Hobbs called for National Guard members who are currently on active federal duty be mobilized to assist CBP in manning the Lukeville crossing, so it can be reopened.
According to Fox News, “The U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector in Arizona reported having 15,300 illegal crossings last week, marking the highest weekly total ever.”
