Alabama AG Joins Border Rally, Praises Trump's Immigration Policies

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall recently teamed up with ten other Republican AGs down at the Southern Border, giving props to what they see as major wins in President Trump's second-term immigration strategy. They're stoked about the renewed emphasis on border control!

Standing Strong at the Border

Right near Mile Marker 12 7/8 in Yuma, Arizona (yep, that's the end of the Trump border wall), Marshall and his crew from the Republican Attorney Generals Association (RAGA) were all about celebrating the reversal of Biden's immigration policies and the return of Trump-style enforcement.

Marshall's Take: Shackles Off!

Marshall himself gave a shout-out to the feds working border enforcement, saying, "The shackles are off!" He believes they're finally empowered to secure the borders.

Alabama's Not-So-Hidden Connection

Even though Alabama isn't a border state, Marshall argues they're feeling the impact of a less secure border. He points to fentanyl deaths and increased crime as examples of the real-world consequences. He gives Trump credit for stepping up and delivering on his promise to protect communities.

Leadership, Not Laws, Makes the Difference

According to Marshall, the dip in illegal border crossings and "got-aways" is all thanks to Trump's leadership. He says it's not about new laws, but about having the right person in charge. "We changed the leader," he stated, "and we’ve enabled immigration enforcement to do their jobs and to be able to do it effectively.”

Who Else Was There?

This border pow-wow also included AGs from Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah. Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen and Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes also joined in.

Fighting the Good Fight

Marshall has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration's immigration policies, fighting to preserve Trump-era asylum standards. He sees himself and his colleagues as the last line of defense against what they consider a weak border policy.
