PHOENIX — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is trying a new legal theory to combat Biden administration border policies: a claim the president wants to encourage illegal migration to grow the U.S. population.
And what makes that illegal, Brnovich says, is the failure of the president to consider the impact of those migrants on Arizona.
That new claim, like prior efforts, centers around both the administration's decision to cease border wall construction and to end the "remain in Mexico" policy of dealing with those seeking asylum. That latter determination was affirmed earlier this year when the U.S. Supreme Court said that was within the power of the administration.
