A vote on a controversial Arizona border security bill has been delayed due to concerns raised by a Republican lawmaker. The bill, modeled after Texas’ controversial SB 4, aims to enforce federal border security laws and criminalize illegal border crossings. However, Republican State Sen. Ken Bennett objected to language in the bill regarding recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), arguing that their legal status could change if the program is canceled. Bennett’s vote is crucial as the Republican-led state senate has a narrow majority and cannot afford defections. The bill’s passing is further complicated by the absence of another Republican state senator. Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs also opposes the bill, arguing that it would harm businesses and law enforcement personnel. Republican lawmakers are planning to put a new version of the bill on the November ballot.
