S.B. 1231, also known as the “Arizona Border Invasion Act,” would have given migrants a six-month prison terms for illegal crossings.

“Anti-immigrant legislation to score cheap political points has no place in our state,” Hobbs said in a statement on Monday. “Today, I am delivering on my promise and I am vetoing Senate Bill SB1231. This bill does not secure our border. On the contrary, it will be harmful for communities and businesses in our state, and a burden for law enforcement personnel. I know there’s frustration about the federal government’s failure to secure our border, but this bill is not the solution.”

Watch Hobbs’ message below:

Hobbs “irresponsibly vetoed critical legislation today that would have provided law enforcement the ability to protect Arizonans from heinous crimes associated with Joe Biden’s border invasion,” Senate Republicans said in a statement on Monday.

“The Legislature did its job to protect our citizens, but Governor Hobbs failed to do hers,” Republican Arizona Sen. Janae Shamp said in a statement on Monday. “Vetoing the Arizona Border Invasion Act is a prime example of the chaos Hobbs is unleashing in our state while perpetuating this open border crisis as Biden’s accomplice. Arizonans want and deserve safe communities. Our local, county, and state law enforcement officers are pleading for help, and they support this legislation to protect our citizens.”

Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and current senatorial candidate Kari Lake shared the story of Hobbs’ veto on x, saying “Following the savage murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant, the @AZSenateGOP put forward a bill to protect Arizonans from the tragedies that come with an open border. But the @DNC doesn’t want this to stop. @KatieHobbs veto of the Arizona Border Invasion Act is yet another slap in the face to Arizonans. The open-border party of @JoeBiden, Hobbs, and @RubenGallego prioritize continuing the invasion of our country over protecting law-abiding Arizona families.”
