Democrat Hobbs Keeps Bussing Immigrants out of Arizona
Democrats are baffled and appalled that one of their own, newly elected Governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs has continued her Republican predecessor’s policy of bussing illegal immigrants out of the state.
According to Fox News: “On Tuesday, Hobbs defended her decision to keep the program in place, telling The Arizona Sun that her administration would focus on ensuring that the state’s continued payment of migrants’ travel costs is “efficient and humane.””
“We just wanted to make sure that we were addressing this issue and, as I talked about many times in the campaign, in a way that was the best use of taxpayer resources and something that wasn’t a political stunt,” said Hobbs.
Under the former Governor, over 3,000 people were bused from the Yuma area to the nation’s capital. Arizona Republicans earmarked $15 million for the program in 2022.
