The 11 state attorney general, the latest Republican group to visit popular sections of Yuma County’s border fences, thanked President Trump and blamed former President Joe Biden for the need to continue securing tropical borders.
On a warm Wednesday morning, the Attorney Generals of Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah met with local law enforcement and elected officials before meeting reporters.
The main point from the Republican Prosecutors General Association press conference was that, as they said, under former President Biden, all states were border states as immigration and drugs crossed the border and the changes to Trump were making America safe again.
Arizona Attorney General Chris Mays was a Democrat and was not a Yuma Raga Group. Attorney General Mays has updated her call to the Trump administration to send federal resources to the border.
In a released statement, Mays said, “While the state’s Republican Attorney General and Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen can travel to the border for all the meaningless photoshoots they want, Arizonan will continue to pay the price until local and state law enforcement agencies are given the resources they need to provide the criminals responsible for drug trafficking.”
Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmott met with the Attorney General at the border. Sheriff Wilmott said the number of immigrants has been declining for many years, but the need to secure borders remains strong.
He met with Attorney General Maze last week while she was in Yuma. Sheriff Wilmott told me what he and Mays had argued.
“My message to her… public safety, homeland security, humanitarianism (effort) is something our sheriff is concentrated,” Wilmott said. “It’s not about politics, it’s about public safety. We have to work with lawmakers more to start education.
