OP
You do realize Gov. Hobbs is a Democrat, right? Are you claiming she is doing stunts

Not sure what they'll be doing. Making sandwiches? Handing out bottled water?
But Hobbs is a Democrat in a state Biden won that is critical to his reelection. Not a good look nationally. This is a real issue.

(98,883 posts)4. Exactly. This is a real issue, where nothing has been done for too long. I am
pretty sure this will be brought up in the 2024 campaign for president.
The real lie that has been perpetuated by the right wing talking machines be is that trump handled this well, when the truth is he had the same problem. Only difference was his policies hurt legal immigration into the country, and did absolutely nothing about illegal immigration.
