Kari Lake cautions against ‘Bidenvasion’ of ‘combat-ready men’ at Arizona border
Republican Arizona Senate candidate warns of “Bidenvasion” at the border
During a recent interview on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Kari Lake, a former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and current Republican Senate candidate, expressed her concerns about the influx of illegal border crossings between Arizona and Mexico. Lake referred to this situation as a “Bidenvasion,” emphasizing the urgency of the issue.
Lake highlighted that Arizona currently has “the worst border” in the United States, comparing it to the significantly lower number of illegal crossings during former President Donald Trump’s administration. She emphasized that while some crossings involve families, a majority, 71% to be precise, are made by adults.
Arizona’s border crisis demands attention
Lake stressed the need for immediate action, stating, “We are watching as we’re being invaded, and we’re seeing a foreign army, basically, pour across our border.” She expressed frustration at the lack of attention and action from the White House and Washington, D.C., regarding this pressing issue. Lake firmly believes that completing the border wall is crucial.
Furthermore, Lake provided a firsthand account of the impact of illegal crossings on the small town of Sasabe, located on the Arizona-Mexico border. The town’s population has drastically decreased from 2,000 to only 15 families, with the area now under cartel control.
Arizona’s future at stake
With a sense of urgency, Lake warned that if immediate action is not taken against illegal crossings, Arizona will be “forever changed.” She called for treating the cartels as the terrorist organizations they are.
Lake is currently running for the Senate seat in next year’s election, alongside Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Recent polling data from the Lake campaign indicated that former President Trump had a lead over President Joe Biden in Arizona, which has been seen as a positive sign for Lake’s campaign. The plans of current Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) regarding reelection remain uncertain, leaving many political operatives in the state in the dark.

How has the Biden administration’s handling of border security contributed to the surge of illegal border crossings in Mexico?
Mexico under the Biden administration. Lake warned of a potential ”Bidenvasion” at the border and called for stronger border security measures to curb the problem.
Lake began the interview by acknowledging the long-standing issues at the border, which have intensified in recent months. According to Border Patrol data, apprehensions at the southwest border have reached a 20-year high. The numbers clearly indicate a growing crisis that demands immediate attention and action.
As a candidate who has closely observed the situation, Lake criticized the Biden administration for its handling of border security. She argued that the administration’s policies and rhetoric have sent a message of lax enforcement, ultimately encouraging illegal immigrants to attempt to cross the border.
Furthermore, Lake pointed out that the current administration’s decision to halt construction of the border wall has left significant gaps in security infrastructure. This gap serves as an open invitation for human traffickers and drug cartels to exploit vulnerable areas.
Lake stressed the need for comprehensive border security measures that would include both physical infrastructure and increased personnel. She proposed expanding the border wall system, increasing funding for Border Patrol agents and technology, and implementing stricter immigration policies.
Additionally, Lake highlighted the alarming consequences of illegal immigration, such as the strain on public resources and the potential threat to national security. She emphasized that border security is not just about immigration, but also about ensuring the safety and prosperity of the American people.
While acknowledging the need for comprehensive immigration reform, Lake emphasized that it must be done in a lawful and orderly manner. She voiced her support for legal immigration, but firmly opposed the idea of granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants already in the country. Lake argued that amnesty would only undermine the rule of law and encourage further illegal immigration.
In conclusion, Kari Lake, a Republican Senate candidate from Arizona, expressed grave concerns about the surge of illegal border crossings under the Biden administration. She called for stronger border security measures and criticized the administration for its policies and rhetoric, which she believes have contributed to the current crisis. Lake’s position highlights the need to address the issue of border security comprehensively while ensuring the safety and well-being of the American people. Only through a combination of physical infrastructure, increased personnel, and stricter immigration policies can the nation effectively tackle the challenge at hand.
