Officials in Southern Arizona are reacting to news that President Joe Biden is sending 1,500 troops to the U.S.-Mexico Border to perform administrative tasks.
"These personnel will be performing administrative tasks, like data entry and warehouse support. They will not be performing law enforcement functions, or interacting with immigrants or migrants," said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
"How long have we known [about] May 11, or Title 42 is going to go away?" said Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels. "We've all known that for quite some time. Why are we waiting until days before to get out this plan?" This is not the first time troops were deployed to the U.S.-Mexico Border. Former President Barack Obama did that in 2010, and Former President Donald Trump also did that in 2018. According to those at the front lines of the issues, additional personnel will help.
"I'm hoping we top out below the projection of 1,000 a day," said Mayor Nicholls. "If that happens, I think we have a fighting chance. It'll still be very difficult, but as soon as we start cresting 1,000 a day, the system just starts to break down."
