Many undocumented migrants were released in an Arizona city after a surge of illegal crossings.

Report: Hundreds of Migrants Released in Arizona Without Full Processing

A new report reveals that hundreds of migrants who illegally crossed the border have been released in Yuma, Arizona without being fully processed. According to The Daily Mail, Mayor Douglas Nicholls allowed migrants who were “vetted” but not fully processed to be let out of holding. This has caused concern among citizens and officials alike.

Record Number of Migrants Crossing the Border

Border Patrol reports that a record-setting 83,000 migrants crossed the border illegally in just one week. This is equivalent to a full capacity Dallas Cowboys football stadium crossing our border in a single week. The record crossings come amid the ending of Title 42, a Trump-administration immigration policy that allowed migrants to be turned back based on COVID concerns.

Mayor Calls for National Emergency on the Border

Mayor Nicholls has called for President Joe Biden to declare a national emergency on the border leading up to the expiration of Title 42. Over 114,000 people have crossed somewhere into the Yuma sector this year, including many single adults. The Republican mayor is concerned about the safety of his citizens and is urging the federal government to take action.

Biden’s Response

President Biden, who has faced widespread criticism for his handling of the border, will reportedly spend his weekend at his beach home in Delaware — which is guarded by a taxpayer-funded wall — as immigration officials will be working on dealing with the illegal immigration crisis. This has caused further outrage among citizens who feel that the President is not taking the situation seriously.

Conclusion

The situation at the border is a complex issue that requires immediate attention. As citizens, it is important to stay informed and engaged in the conversation. We must hold our elected officials accountable and demand action to ensure the safety and security of our communities.
