Arrr, mateys! The HCR 2060 in Arizona be at a standstill, thanks to a scallywag Republican State Senator! He be arguin' to keep the protections for them DACA recipients. Ye can bet there be some fierce debate happenin' on the high seas of politics!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, ye scallywags, listen up! The vote on a controversial Arizona border security bill, known as HCR 2060 or the Secure the Border Act, was delayed by Republican State Sen. Ken Bennett. This bill aims to give local law enforcement the tools to enforce federal border security laws, making illegal border crossing a crime.Arrr, but Bennett be havin' objections to the bill's language regarding DACA recipients, fearin' it could be applied retrospectively. His vote be crucial as the Republican-led state senate be havin' a narrow majority.To make matters worse, another Republican State Sen., Wadsack, be missin' the vote due to a family emergency. The bill be facing opposition from Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who argues it won't truly secure the border.Captain Petersen, the Arizona Senate President, be optimistic the bill will eventually pass, assurin' that Bennett's concerns have been addressed. He be claimin' the bill be focused on border security, not immigration like the controversial SB 1070 law of the past.
