From Chaos to Control - Border Security and the Impact of Migrant Influx

Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines Discusses Border Security and Challenges

Jonathan Lines, a Republican Yuma County Supervisor, recently spoke about the challenges faced by the community due to the influx of migrants during the Biden administration. He described the situation as "chaos first, and abandoned second," contrasting it with the "controlled" state under President Trump.

Lines highlighted the significant strain placed on local resources, including the hospital, which incurred millions in unpaid medical costs. He also mentioned the impact on the food bank and the community's struggle with fentanyl, which claimed the life of his friend's nephew.

Lines expressed appreciation for the construction of permanent border wall panels, which began after the reversal of Biden's policies. He emphasized the importance of border security and immigration as key issues for American voters, citing the impact of human trafficking and narcotics on communities across the country.

The Yuma sector experienced hundreds of thousands of migrant encounters during the Biden administration, with February alone recording over 8,300 illegal border crossings. This influx placed a significant burden on local resources, including the hospital, which incurred millions in unpaid medical costs.
