'Secure the Border Act' Withstands Frivolous Constitutional Challenge, Will Appear on November Ballot                                                         


PHOENIX, ARIZONA— Senate Republicans are proud to announce Arizona voters will still get the opportunity to take border security matters into their own hands this November with the Secure the Border Act (HCR 2060). Late last week, a superior court judge blocked a frivolous lawsuit filed by radical left activists in a bogus attempt to keep the measure off the ballot.

 

The Secure the Border Act is similar to Texas' SB 4 and would provide local, county, and state law enforcement the authority to arrest individuals who are non-U.S. citizens entering Arizona from Mexico outside of a lawful port of entry. SB 4 is currently on hold as it's being litigated in federal court. If upheld by the courts and if Arizona voters support the Secure the Border Act in November, this specific provision of the bill would take effect in Arizona 60 days after implementation in Texas.

 

Other provisions in the bill, not contingent on court rulings, include harsher penalties for drug dealers trafficking fentanyl across the border that leads to an overdose death of a person. It will also establish a state crime of any individuals living in Arizona illegally who knowingly submit false information or documents to apply for government benefits or apply for employment. Lastly, it will require state agencies administering benefits to use the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program, in addition to current state verification systems when determining eligibility of non-U.S. citizens.

 

"My colleagues and I worked tirelessly this session to create impactful legislation to help secure our border because the people of Arizona are desperately asking for it," said Senator Janae Shamp. "The attempts from Arizona Democrats and radical left activists to deprive voters of the opportunity to decide on this matter is truly appalling. From the spreading of misinformation to the filing of frivolous lawsuits, they will stop at nothing to keep our border wide open and perpetuate Biden's border crisis. The federal government has neglected the safety of our citizens, and the time has come to empower Arizonans to fight back against the tyranny. I wholeheartedly believe the Secure the Border Act will save countless lives, save billions in taxpayer dollars, and strengthen our national security."

 

"While the Biden Administration continues to turn their backs on our law enforcement, we will not," said Senator David Gowan. "These men and women are putting their lives on the line to protect our communities from the deadly crimes associated with the border crisis, and they deserve the tools and support they need to do their job. Our law enforcement reached a breaking point a long time ago. It's now up to everyday Arizonans to stop the lawlessness."
