New numbers show border crossings from Mexico into the U.S. are down significantly since a crackdown was announced by the Biden administration, but some Arizona sheriffs say there are other reasons for the decline.
It’s no secret the border is a hot topic in this November election, especially as Arizona is a border state.
Vice President Kamala Harris made a visit to Arizona on Aug. 9, but did not make a trip to the Arizona border. Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the Arizona-Mexico border in Cochise County this week.
Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes, president of the Arizona Sheriff’s Association, says the real questions are, how are the numbers down, and why is it happening now?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection released July numbers, saying, "Encounters in July were 32% lower than in June 2024 and were the lowest monthly total along the southwest border since September 2020."
