   Arizona Dem Gov Katie Hobbs vetoes bill

   Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed a law that would make crossing the border   
   illegally a state crime in Arizona. She labeled the bill as "harmful" and   
   "burdensome" to the community.   
      
   Senate Bill 1231, called the "Arizona Border Invasion Act," makes it   
   "unlawful for a person who is an alien (unlawful immigrant) to enter   
   Arizona from a foreign nation at any location other than a lawful port of   
   entry" in the state of Arizona. The governor has also talked about bussing   
   illegal immigrants out of the state.   
      
   Hobbs vetoed the measure and wrote a letter in response to the law being   
   brought to her desk and cited "constitutional concerns" for her reasoning   
   to not pass the bill.   
      
   "Today, I vetoed Senate Bill 1231. This bill does not secure our border,   
   will be harmful for communities and business in our state, and burdensome   
   for law enforcement personnel and the state judicial system."   
      
   "Further, this bill presents significant constitutional concerns and would   
   be certain to mire the State in costly and protracted litigation," Hobbs   
   added.   
      
   A similar bill was passed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that has faced   
   scrutiny in the courts with regard to how it squared with the   
   Constitution. The decision from Abbott was greenlit by a federal appeals   
   court but then the Supreme Court put a temporary hold on the measure.   
      
   The ongoing border crisis has been raging in states like Arizona where   
   people have recounted seeing over 700 people cross the border illegally in   
   a day. Airlines have also used the state as a point of transportation for   
   illegal immigrants flying throughout the United States. It was recently   
   reported that the Biden admin flew at least 320,000 illegal immigrants   
   from different parts of the world to US cities.
