In a bold\u2062 move aimed\u200d at the Biden administration, Hobbs made\u2062 the announcement in \u200ca news release, stating that it came after she\u200c had sent a letter to President Joe\u200c Biden requesting the reassignment of the Arizona\u2064 National Guard to reopen \u200cthe Lukeville\u2063 Port \u2063of\u200b Entry.<\/p>\n<p>The closure of the \u200bport of entry was\u2062 prompted by\u2062 a surge of \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-house-committee-report-accuses-mayorkas-of-emboldening-cartels-at-border\/\" title=\"GOP House Committee Report: Mayorkas Accused of Empowering Border Cartels\">illegal immigrants\u200c crossing<\/a>\u2064 the border, as reported\u200c by \u200bKNXZ-TV. The National Guard members \u200bwill now assist the Department of Public\u2062 Safety and\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-votes-on-major-security-upgrade-will-fine-members-5k-for-bypassing-metal-detectors\/\" title=\"House Votes On Major Security Upgrade, Will Fine Members K For Bypassing Metal Detectors\">local law enforcement agencies<\/a> in various enforcement activities, including fentanyl interdiction, analytical support, and \u200chuman \u200btrafficking enforcement efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This mobilization of the National Guard represents \u200da significant shift in\u200b Hobbs&#8217; stance on border security. Previously, she had criticized \u200dformer Governor Doug Ducey&#8217;s improvised border\u200d barrier \u2062made of shipping containers,\u2064 calling it a political stunt and \u2063a waste\u2062 of taxpayer \u200ddollars. However, \u2062Hobbs\u200c now \u200cfeels compelled to take\u200c action due to the lack of response from Washington.<\/p>\n<h3>Arizona Governor Blames Federal\u2062 Government\u2064 for Border Crisis<\/h3>\n<p>In a statement, Hobbs expressed her frustration \u2064with \u2063the federal\u2062 government&#8217;s refusal to secure the border \u2062and keep communities\u200b safe. She emphasized that her executive order was a necessary step to address the\u2064 situation when the \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/court-declares-laws-banning-handgun-sales-to-people-under-21-unconstitutional\/\" title=\"Court Declares Laws Banning Handgun Sales To People Under 21 Unconstitutional\">federal government failed<\/a> to act. Hobbs also highlighted the need for \u200bresources and manpower to manage the flow \u200dof\u2064 migrants and maintain a secure and orderly border.<\/p>\n<p>Despite repeated requests for assistance, the Biden\u2063 administration has not provided \u2062the necessary resources to Arizona&#8217;s\u200d border. This lack of support has left the \u200dstate to \u2063bear\u200d the burden of federal inaction, as stated in the executive order issued\u2063 by Hobbs.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">From our photographer\u2063 still on the ground in Lukeville, AZ\u2026another\u2062 mass crossing through breach in the\u2063 border wall after\u200b AZ Governor Hobbs left. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wtGEW5RxN0\">pic.twitter.com\/wtGEW5RxN0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillMelugin_\/status\/1733672895619166292?\">December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The order also\u200b highlighted the Biden administration&#8217;s failure to respond \u200cto Arizona&#8217;s request for reimbursement of \u200cborder security\u200c expenses. Although the exact number \u200bof National Guard members\u2063 to \u200dbe deployed was not \u200cannounced, Hobbs had requested 250 troops from\u2062 President Biden.<\/p>\n<p>This move by \u200bHobbs follows \u2063a similar deployment \u200bof the National Guard by Governor \u200dDucey in April 2021, as\u200b reported by The Arizona Republic. Ducey&#8217;s \u2063mission ended in September.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent visit to the border, \u2062Hobbs expressed her frustration\u2063 with the\u200d Biden \u200badministration&#8217;s \u2062inaction,\u2064 stating that Arizona has suffered the consequences for far \u200ctoo \u200clong.

Despite reaching out to the administration, Hobbs received no response.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062closure of the port of entry had a significant impact \u2063on the region, with businesses suffering and local communities facing security concerns. \u200dWith the surge of illegal immigrants\u200c crossing\u2064 the border, the\u2063 need for additional support from the National Guard became even more apparent. \u2062Hobbs&#8217; decision to mobilize the National Guard\u2063 is a direct response to the lack of action from the federal\u2062 government.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u2064Hobbs expressed her disappointment with the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of the border crisis. She criticized their failure to address the issue effectively and reiterated the responsibility of the federal\u2062 government\u2062 to secure the border and protect communities. While she \u2062recognizes the complexity of the issue,\u200b she believes that proactive measures must be \u200ctaken to alleviate the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c National Guard&#8217;s role in this mission will be crucial in addressing \u2064the various challenges posed by the border crisis.

While she \u200dhad criticized former Governor Ducey&#8217;s border barrier, she now recognizes the need for immediate action to address the crisis. Her decision\u200c highlights \u2062the impact of the federal \u200dgovernment&#8217;s inaction\u200c and the necessity for states to take matters into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p>As the situation at the border continues to escalate, it is essential for state and federal authorities to work \u2064together to find comprehensive and\u200c sustainable solutions. The mobilization of the Arizona \u200dNational Guard underscores the urgency of the situation\u200d and emphasizes the crucial role that state governments \u2062can play in \u2064addressing border \u2064security.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Hobbs&#8217; decision is a\u200d reminder\u200b that in times of crisis, \u200bpolitical differences should not hinder the protection of communities and the\u200c enforcement of the law. It serves as a call to action \u200cfor the federal government to prioritize border security and collaborate with state\u2064 leaders to find lasting solutions.
