While Brnovich challenges the Biden administration\u2019s immigration policies in court, the attorney general wants to see a multi-pronged approach to dealing with the border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Brnovich wants Ducey to:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p>1. Declare a State of Emergency pursuant to A.R.S. \u00a7 26-303(D) and subsequently convene the Emergency Council pursuant to A.R.S. \u00a7 26-304 to address the border crisis and the human and illegal drug trafficking that will continue to flow from it.<\/p>\n<p>2. Activate the National Guard to assist at the border. While you\u2019ve recently requested assistance from the federal government to fund this type of action, time is of the essence. Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement officials are overwhelmed and demoralized by this unprecedented surge of illegal immigration. They require reinforcements as soon as possible, even if it means We have to act now and fight for the federal dollars later.<\/p>\n<p>3. Provide financial assistance to cities and towns dealing with the influx of undocumented immigrants. For example, the Gila Bend Town Council recently declared a state of emergency after the Border Patrol dropped off dozens of undocumented immigrants (without testing them for COVID-19) at a town park. More drops are expected. The City of Yuma has seen hundreds of undocumented immigrants delivered in recent weeks. These cities and towns will soon hit their breaking point if we do not provide additional resources.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The attorney general has multiple lawsuits filed against the federal government. The first lawsuit challenges President Joe Biden\u2019s decision to halt deportations for his first 100 days in office, something Brnovich believes is \u201cin direct violation of federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the second lawsuit, Brnovich is leading a coalition of 11 attorneys general wanting the \u201cPublic Charge Rule\u201d enforced. It\u2019s something the Biden administration has refused to do. Under the \u201cPublic Charge Rule,\u201d illegal aliens are barred from receiving public benefits, like health care and food assistance programs.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), who is part of the challenge, warned that not enforcing the rule would be detrimental for Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt cost the country billions of dollars,\u201d Paxton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/texas-ag-paxton-public-charge-rule-immigrants-public-assistance\">said earlier this week<\/a> on Fox News. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to invite people in, we\u2019ve got to make sure they can take care of themselves and that they\u2019re not going to end up on food stamps and Medicaid and health care insurance from our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a third lawsuit earlier this week, Brnovich calls into question the legality of Biden cancelling the border wall construction and the \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d policy. Under former President Trump\u2019s \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d policy, asylum-seekers were forced to wait in Mexico until their court case was heard.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Ducey&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/az-gov-ducey-on-the-border-crisis-the-biden-administration-has-been-anti-wall-and-awol\">has said<\/a> he is looking at sending the Arizona National Guard to the border, even if it means the state has to pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe border is traditionally a federal issue and a federal focus. The Biden White House has ignored the situation at the border in Arizona and across the southern U.S,\u201d Ducey&nbsp;said during a press conference last week. \u201cSo we have options as a state of course. We are working with ranchers, border sheriffs, leaders at the county level. I plan to talk with the President on what their next steps will be. But the National Guard will be part of the solution. We will have action taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The border crisis continues to rage on, with more than 172,000 illegal aliens crossing the border in March alone. The surge thus far is greater than when the Central American caravans flocked to the border in 2019, but is expected to continue on. To this date, Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden\u2019s border czar, has yet to visit the border, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/burgess-owens-tells-biden-harris-to-get-some-backbone-visit-border-region\">repeated calls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/arizona-ag-brnovichs-challenge-to-kamala-harris-ill-make-myself-available-any-day-for-a-border-tour\">invites<\/a> to do so.<\/p>\n<p><em>Beth Baumann is a Political Reporter and Editor at The Daily Wire.
