Arizona voters to decide whether to make border crossing by noncitizens a state crime

The GOP-controlled Arizona Legislature on Tuesday approved a proposal to ask voters to weigh in on a ballot measure this fall to make it a state crime for noncitizens to enter the state through Mexico at any location outside of a port of entry.

Hours earlier, President Biden unveiled plans to restrict the number of migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. 

"This action will help to gain control of our border, restore order to the process," Mr. Biden said.
