Pima County and the city of Tucson, Arizona, are in turmoil as Biden’s border crisis continues to wreak havoc in America’s border states.
Tucson authorities are scrambling to find a place to house undocumented immigrants as federal funding ends. Others have suggested that illegal border crossers be bussed to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base south of Tucson.
Authorities are frantically planning ahead of the expected wave of illegal immigrants. Dropped Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials lifted the restrictions at the end of March, according to AZ Mirror.

Romero also suggested that in addition to transporting illegal aliens to the Air Force base, the city should also transport them to Phoenix, as federal funding is scheduled to run out in late March.
“What we’re going to experience with street-level homelessness is homelessness on steroids,” said Pima County Executive Jan Lescher. Saidby arizona daily star.
Lesher added that Biden’s border crisis is taking money from Tucson residents.
“But every dollar spent to help legally processed asylum seekers move to their destination cities is spent on helping county residents who are struggling financially to obtain adequate housing or “It’s a dollar that can’t be spent by county residents who suffer from mental illness or drug or alcohol addiction,” Lesher said.
Meanwhile, Pima County officials say the county is spending $1 million a month to house, feed and care for the migrants.
Officials say: trade According to KJZZ FM 91.5, there are 1,000 new border crossers per day.
The Biden administration’s threat to bus illegal aliens across the United States is not just a prediction. Reporting from San Diego on Friday, Fox News reporter Bill Melgin was shocked to see federal buses unloading dozens of undocumented immigrants right in front of his eyes.

Like Tucson, the San Diego area is rapidly running out of funds to house undocumented immigrants. Bill Wells, a Republican mayor near El Cajon, California, said: Said Fox News reported that “100,000 migrants have crossed the border in San Diego” in the past few months alone.
“A lot of that was absorbed by the county’s shelters using tax dollars,” Wells added. “They asked for $3 million, they spent more than $6 million, and now they say the money is gone. So we’re going to see immigrants flocking to our city.”
Wells went on to say, “I think it’s going to be a pretty serious problem very quickly.”
He also noted that the situation was escalating.
“The Border Patrol is telling us that we’re going to go from about 300 drop-offs per day to probably 1,000 drop-offs per day,” he said.
Mr. Wells also criticized the government for wasting taxpayer money on caring for illegal immigrants.
“They were spending up to $8,000 per person a month to put someone in a hotel, and they don’t seem to have any qualms about spending that kind of money. It destroys neighborhoods, it destroys hotels. It destroys, it destroys our safety infrastructure. And that’s really bad for everyone,” Wells said.
Nearly 7.3 million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border since Joe Biden took office, according to the latest numbers that can be determined. Perhaps 1.17 million “fugitives” have crossed the border in the past three years.
