The resolution SCR1042 expresses the Arizona Legislature's support for the state of Texas and its efforts to secure the southern border of the United States. It specifically endorses the Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, urging Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs to align with this stance. The resolution emphasizes the constitutional responsibilities of the federal government to protect states against invasion and asserts that Texas's actions in response to its border crisis are lawful and necessary.
Additionally, the resolution calls on President Joe Biden to fulfill his constitutional duty to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration at the southern border. It highlights the impact of illegal immigration on all Americans, including those in Arizona, and reinforces the notion that states retain the authority to protect themselves from such invasions. The resolution does not anticipate any fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
