Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey asks Homeland Security for money to dispatch National Guard to US-Mexico border

PHOENIX – Gov. Doug Ducey wants to dispatch National Guard troops in response to the migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border, he said Friday — and he wants the federal government to pick up the tab.

"Our sheriffs need help. Our mayors need help. Border patrol needs help," the Republican leader said on Twitter, capping off more than a week of blistering criticism of President Joe Biden's immigration policies.

"In Arizona, we’ve previously deployed the National Guard to the border to support law enforcement. I’ve requested federal reimbursement for deployment, so we can do it again and get this crisis under control."

A Governor's Office spokesman said Ducey had a "productive" conversation with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas but did not offer details regarding when and where troops may be deployed.

1. What link?

[not fooled]

2. Stirring up the rubes

douchey all in with voter suppression.

Gotta get a dipsh*t story out there for the media to focus on while the inbreds in the state house enact fascist legislation to strip voters of the right to determine the outcome of elections.

3. Screw Ducey, let him sent Arpio Sun City sqaud, they haven't had a reason to drive to get ...

... some fresh air in quite a while.

4. According to the DOJ in a report released on Feb. 17, 2021

During the month of January 2021, 177 migrants were caught illegally crossing into Arizona. Round off that number, and that's about 6 people a day. WOW What will the Guard do all day after they chase six people back across the border?

5. Six a day? Man, Ducey's a snowflake. Sounds like he's grifting the feds.

6. 16,912 Covid deaths in AZ to date

and Ducey is worried about immigrants?

7. Right. And why will they do when they get there? Look tough?

8. Making a mountain out of a molehill. Ordered by Putin and the GOP.

They can't find anything else to complain about.

9. I haven't seen any uptick and I have been overwhelmed in the past.

Sounds like bullshit, but I also haven't had much interaction with other locals that know things so I may not have enough info.
