Arizona Republican lawmakers are promising to bring back a border security bill that got vetoed last week. On party lines, Republicans passed a bill to make crossing the border outside of a port of entry a state crime.

A new study from the Pew Research Center says Latinos in the U.S. view the sheer number of migrants trying to enter the country at the Southwest border as a problem. But they also don’t view bigger border walls or increased deportations as the solution.

A federal judge has upheld two Arizona laws that require proof of citizenship to vote, largely siding with restrictions passed by the state Legislature in 2022. The decision was split, though, and advocacy groups are happy about some of the results.

"This bill does not secure our border,'' the governor said in a brief veto message. She also said it "will be harmful for communities and businesses in our state, and burdensome for law enforcement personnel.''

John Washington is a journalist who’s covered the border for a long time. In his new book, he makes the case for open borders. In fact, that’s the title of the book. He joined The Show to talk about why that doesn’t mean no borders.

In a ruling Thursday, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton concluded Arizona legislators did not discriminate when they adopted the laws and the state does have an interest in preventing voter fraud and limiting voting to those individuals eligible to vote.

State lawmakers rushed through final action Wednesday on a measure aimed at border crossers and sent it to Gov. Katie Hobbs who already has said she will veto it.

Many of the roughly 76,000 Afghans evacuated from their country by the Biden administration in 2021 are still in legal limbo. That’s because most came here on what’s called humanitarian parole — a temporary, emergency immigration status that doesn’t provide a pathway to permanent residency.
