It’s outrageous that the Biden-Harris administration is considering lifting Title 42 border COVID-19 restrictions on ILLEGAL immigration while they are extending restrictions on LEGAL border travel. Clearly, you can’t have it both ways. 1/
Apparently, the Biden-Harris DHS believes COVID-19 is a threat when it comes to legal travel, but not when it comes to illegal immigration. 2/
COVID is out of control south of the border. Ending Title 42 will threaten the health and safety of Arizonans and all Americans. Our already broken border will explode — overwhelming border patrol, law enforcement, nonprofits and health care professionals. 3/
Earlier this month, I sent a letter to @SecMayorkas and @CDCDirector expressing Arizona’s grave concern about this dangerous and misguided idea: azgovernor.gov/governor/news/… 4/
Arizona will NOT stand for this. The Biden-Harris administration must keep the Title 42 order in place until all other COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. 5/5

This story is a damning look at the dangerously misguided border policies quietly being implemented by the Biden-Harris administration. They have turbocharged “catch and release” to unprecedented levels. This story lays it all out: 1/
❌“About 50,000 migrants who crossed the southern border illegally have now been released in the United States without a court date”

❌“Although they are told to report to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office instead, just 13% have shown up so far, Axios has learned” 2/
❌“It's unprecedented for agents to release migrants without an official notice to appear in court”

❌“It's a sign of the continued surge in people attempting to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border” 3/

BREAKING: We’re investing $101.1 million in federal funding to launch the Visit Arizona Initiative ✈️🌵

This new program will:

✔️ Accelerate economic recovery
✔️ Bolster job creation
✔️ Regain visitation & visitor spending

@AZTourismNews 1/
Tourism is essential for Arizona's booming economy and job growth. When visitors from across the globe travel to our great state, they stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants, buy our products and enjoy our recreational activities. 2/
Their investments benefit Arizonans, and the Visit Arizona Initiative will help our tourism sector prosper — and continue to recover from the effects of the pandemic. 3/

This is bad policy, with no basis in public health. Even the Biden Administration has been more reasonable 1/
The vaccine works. But the vaccine is a choice. This policy is social engineering at its worst. Health policy should be based on science, not virtue signaling. In America, freedom wins. 2/
Public education is a public right, and taxpayers are paying for it. We need to make our public universities available for students to return to learning. In Arizona, we are going to have students in classrooms learning. 3/

FIRE UPDATE:

State Legislative Leaders and I have agreed to invest $100 million to combat and prevent wildfires, equip firefighters and communities with the resources they need, and prepare for after effects such as flooding and mudslides. 1/
This special session will ensure our state is ready to combat this season’s wildfires and address potentially deadly after effects. The Legislature will convene tomorrow and is expected to vote on the proposal later this week. 2/
While Arizona has strong wildfire suppression and prevention efforts in place, we need to do more. Our brave firefighters must have all the necessary tools, resources and support to fight the blazes and stay safe. 3/

“The best social program is a job.” - President Ronald Reagan

Arizona is back to work!

Effective July 10th, Arizona will no longer be paying the $300/week federal supplement to unemployed workers, and instead we will be helping Arizonans get back to work. 1/
Return-To-Work Bonuses:

Arizona will set aside $300 million of federal resources to offer a one-time bonus of $2,000 to eligible individuals who return to the workforce and get a full-time job, while those who return part-time will receive $1,000. 2/
Education Incentives:

Arizona will provide $7.5 million for community college scholarships for currently unemployed workers who are eligible for Return-to-Work bonuses, and $6 million for GED test prep and exam fees for eligible workers without a high school diploma. 3/

Today, I’m proud to sign #SB1453 to allow community colleges to offer four-year degrees, paving the way for Arizona’s current and future workforces and expanding opportunities for populations that are historically underrepresented in higher education. @PaulDBoyer @beckynutt3 1/
Arizona’s community colleges play a critical role in supporting students of all ages and equipping our workforce with skills and resources. 2/
Arizona is a school choice state, and today’s action is school choice for higher education. This is 'Opportunity for All' in action. It will allow students even more opportunities as they strengthen their education and expand their employment opportunities. 3/
