Arizona Reeling: Tucson, Pima County Scrambling as Biden Border Crisis ExplodesWarner Todd Huston 25 Feb 2024
Pima County, Arizona, and the city of Tucson are scrambling as Biden’s border crisis continues to wreak havoc on American border states.
Tucson officials are engaging in a frenzied search for a place to house illegal immigrants as federal funding comes to an end. And some are suggesting that the illegal border crossers should be bused to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in south Tucson.
Officials are desperately making plans ahead of the expected wave of illegal aliens likely to begin being dropped off at the end of March by Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, according to AZMirror.
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero has been “sounding the alarm” and said it is important to get the city’s plans to meet the next wave of Biden’s illegal immigrants before they come.
Along with shipping the illegal aliens to the Air Force base, Romero also suggested that the city should also send them to Phoenix as federal funding is set to run out in late March.
“What we are about to experience with street releases is homelessness on steroids,” Pima County Administrator Jan Lesher said, according to the Arizona Daily Star.
Lesher added that Biden’s border crisis is taking money away from Tucson residents.
“But every dollar spent helping legally processed asylum seekers move on to their destination cities will be a dollar we can’t spend on county residents who are struggling financially to afford adequate housing, or who are suffering from mental illness or drug and alcohol addiction,” Lesher said.
Meanwhile, officials in Pima County say that the migrants are costing the county a million dollars a month to house them, feed them, and take care of them.
Officials say that they are dealing with 1,000 new border crossers a day, according to KJZZ FM 91.5.
