Moco Biz Scene – Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake issued a warning on Sunday about the illegal border crossings between Arizona and Mexico, referring to it as a “Bidenvasion.” Lake specifically highlighted the presence of “fighting-aged men” among those crossing the border.
According to Lake, Arizona is known for having “the worst border” in the United States. She pointed out that during former President Donald Trump’s term, the number of illegal crossings in the state was significantly lower. She also mentioned that although some crossings are made by families, the majority, which accounts for 71%, are made by adults.
“We are witnessing an invasion, with a foreign army pouring across our border,” Lake expressed during an appearance on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “We often discuss Biden-flation, but there is a Bidenvasion taking place on the Arizona border, and it appears that the White House and D.C. aren’t giving it the attention it deserves. We must prioritize the completion of the border wall.”
We talk a lot about Bidenflation, but we don’t talk enough about the Bidenvasion happening at our border.@RubenGallego & @kyrstensinema have enabled @JoeBiden's open-borders agenda every step of the way.

Lake explained the devastating impact of widespread illegal crossings on a small town called Sasabe, situated on the border between Arizona and Mexico. Once a thriving community with a population of 2,000, Sasabe now struggles to sustain itself with only 15 families remaining. Lake emphasized that the town is currently under the control of cartels, further exacerbating the dire situation.
The Senate candidate issued a warning, expressing concern that Arizona’s landscape would undergo a permanent transformation if no action is taken to address illegal border crossings. Furthermore, the candidate emphasized the importance of treating cartels as the terrorist organizations they truly are.
Lake and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) are both running in the upcoming Senate race. They are vying for the seat currently occupied by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ). In a recent poll conducted by the Lake campaign, it was found that former President Donald Trump had a slight lead over President Joe Biden in Arizona. Trump received an average of 46% support, while Biden garnered 42%. This data provided a positive indication for Lake’s campaign.
There is still uncertainty surrounding Sinema’s intentions as to whether she will seek reelection as an Independent, especially since she left the Democratic party in December. Political operatives in the state are currently in the dark about her plans.
