Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs acknowledged that there is an ongoing border problem but says the state program offers a"more humane" process for immigration.
"Yeah, we’ve continued the program, but I think with a more humane and more efficient spin on it," Hobbs said."This money was appropriated by the legislature to specifically bus these legal asylum seekers, and so our decision was to get them where they need to go – to their sponsor or where they have resources and support – instead of just putting them on a bus to D.C., which is expensive.
Illegal border crossings dropped in January to the lowest level in nearly two years. Border Patrol agents apprehending 128,410 people last month, down 42% from 221,675 in December.
