Dem Arizona Governor Rips Biden, Sends Guard Troops To Overwhelmed Border

Arizona's Democratic governor is the latest to defy President Joe Biden over his immigration and border policies, as more members of his party break with him over the issue ahead of the 2024 elections.

Gov. Katie Hobbs on Friday issued an executive order directing elements of the Arizona National Guard to deploy to the state's border with Mexico as the illegal migrant crisis worsens.

In it, she blamed Biden for the "unmitigated humanitarian crisis" across the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border while further criticizing him for his refusal to direct federally-ordered troops to a portion of her state where thousands of migrants per day enter the country illegally and done so for weeks.

"Yet again, the federal government is refusing to do its job to secure our border and keep our communities safe," Hobbs said in a statement. "With this Executive Order, I am taking action where the federal government won't. But we can't stand alone, Arizona needs resources and manpower to reopen the Lukeville crossing, manage the flow of migrants, and maintain a secure, orderly and humane border. Despite continued requests for assistance, the Biden administration has refused to deliver desperately needed resources to Arizona's border."

Hobbs urged the Biden administration over a week ago to deploy troops under federal orders. Presently, around 2,500 National Guard members are on federal active duty orders at the southern border, with 243 of them already deployed in the Tucson Sector, she emphasized, according to the Washington Examiner.

By deploying state soldiers to the border, she is taking a cue from Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), who initiated Operation Lone Star in early 2021. That operation involves sending state military and police personnel to assist federal law enforcement efforts at the border, but it doesn't actually prevent migrants from entering illegally.

Hobbs' administration has launched Operation Secure, in which the military will support and augment the state's Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement "relating to violations of the law of this State, such as fentanyl interdiction, analytical support, and human trafficking enforcement, in the southern border region," the executive order said.
"For far too long, Arizona has borne the burden of federal inaction in managing the State's southern border," Hobbs wrote. "The federal government's recent decision to close the Lukeville Port of Entry has led to an unmitigated humanitarian crisis in the area and has put Arizona's safety and commerce at risk."

Hobbs recently met with Alfonso Durazo, the governor of the adjacent Mexican state Sonora, to explore ways to maintain international commerce, especially after the Lukeville port of entry was closed by the Biden administration nearly two weeks ago, the Examiner added. The diversion of customs officers, who typically handle screenings at the port, to assist with processing and intake of undocumented immigrants walking into the U.S. has complicated border operations.

The House Republican majority has been pushing Biden to do his job and enforce existing immigration laws after he overturned nearly all of former President Donald Trump's policies on his first day in office, including halting construction of the border wall.

Last week, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) came away from a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky more determined than ever to tie providing more aid to his embattled country with a commitment from Biden to finally get tough on U.S. border security.

The Ukrainian leader was in Washington on Tuesday to plead for more military assistance as his forces have been unable to dislodge Russian troops from their positions inside the eastern sectors of his country after they invaded nearly two years ago.

But Johnson, who has been pushing border security for weeks as part of any future aid package for Ukraine, as well as Taiwan, made it clear following his meeting he wasn't budging until the White House produced a legitimate and substantial border security plan.

He also accused the Biden administration of failing to provide the American people with a clear plan ahead for Ukraine after providing the country with at least $100 billion, even as the national debt has surpassed $34 trillion under Joe Biden and, for two years of his term, a Democratic Congress.

"I have asked the White House since the day that I was handed the gavel as speaker for clarity," Johnson told reporters after the meeting. "We need a clear articulation of the strategy to allow Ukraine to win. And thus far their responses have been insufficient.

Draft-Dodging Coward


While first glance at Creepy Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak Joe Biden's long career in politics would give you the impression of a racist plagiarism and serious pedophile, don't worry, there's far more skeletons in his closet.

In addition to everything we already know is wrong with Old-Rich-White- Religious Freak, Joe Biden, he also seems to have a history of evading the draft in Vietnam, according to a report from InsideSources.

Of course, the outlet also bashes President Trump over his own deferment during Vietnam, but to compare Trump to Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden in this respect, as you will come to learn, is a pretty unfair comparison.

According to the report, after graduating college in 1968, Old-Rich-White- Religious Freak, Joe Biden was eligible for the draft, meaning he should have ended up fighting in Vietnam. He earned a 1-Y draft deferment, however, due to asthma:

That's right-asthma.

There's one little problem with Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden's "asthma."

Although Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden was granted a deferment for "asthma as a teenager"... this didn't stop him from playing high school football.

Oops.

InsideSources also points out that, in Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden's autobiography, Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden makes no mention of asthma, but does brag about being "active in intramural sports" in college, and "recounts an active childhood [and] football exploits in high school."

Certainly doesn't seem like the kind of asthma that should have kept him from the draft if he had no problem with "football exploits."

What's worse, during one summer home from college, according to Old-Rich-White- Religious Freak, Joe Biden's own account, he worked as a lifeguard, which certainly has very high standards for physical fitness, including a healthy set of lungs.

It gets worse.

One incident from that summer stands out: How Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden had to wrap a six-foot length of metal chain around his arm to face off against a knife-wielding local tough who went by the name "Corn Pop."

"You might cut me, Corn Pop, but I'm going to wrap this chain around your head before you do," Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden told him. Strong words, but he was a healthy, high school football player who could back them up. Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden and Corn Pop resolved their differences without violence and, according to Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden, became poolside friends.

Just six years later, at the height of the fighting in Vietnam, that same poolside athlete avoided mandatory military service due to "asthma as a teenager."

So let's get this straight.

Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden, as a teenager, was healthy enough to play football and also qualify as a lifeguard, which is no easy feat.

And the left wants to mock Trump's "bone spurs," which is the reason behind his own 1-Y classification. However, bone spurs are a real diagnosis that don't seem to conflict with Trump's lifestyle at all.

He's not exactly known for competing in triathlons.

Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden, on the other hand, is a known liar and and fraud, and is going to have a very hard time explaining this doozy.
