A Record of Results, White House Says
In a release ahead of the visit, the White House said President Trump returns to Arizona with a clear record of America First results, including tax relief, unleashing major private investment, ending the Biden-era border crisis, driving down violent crime, and securing Arizona's critical water resources.
"President Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts are delivering direct relief to Arizona workers, families, and seniors," the White House said. "President Trump's agenda of tax cuts, energy dominance, secure borders, and pro-growth policies has attracted major private capital and high-quality jobs to Arizona."
The White House also stated that the Grand Canyon State is seeing a secure border and historic investments, adding that President Trump will always fight for the great state of Arizona.
Trump: Democrats Gave Us 'Worst Inflation, Highest Energy Prices'
Addressing the crowd in Arizona, President Trump drew a sharp contrast with the previous administration. "The last time the radical Democrats had power, they gave us the worst inflation in American history, the highest energy prices in American history, the worst trade deficit in American history, and they allowed 25 million people to pour in illegally into our borders from the southern border," Trump said. "They came from all over the world turning Arizona into a dumping ground for illegal" immigrants, he added.
The President warned that if Democrats get the chance, they will do it all again.
President Blasts Hobbs Over Veto of Border Cooperation Bill
Trump also took direct aim at Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs over her veto of legislation that would require local jurisdictions to cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration enforcement.
"Every day, we are finding vicious illegal alien killers, gangbangers, rapists, drug traffickers, and other thugs," Trump said. "Yet as we get these monsters OUT of Arizona, Governor Hobbs VETOED legislation to require local jurisdictions to cooperate with federal law enforcement."
The President detailed several recent arrests to underscore his point. "We recently removed an illegal alien murderer who shot a 19-year-old in the chest and then put a bullet in the back of his head before dumping his body into the desert," he said. "We arrested a 71-year-old child predator from Mexico, whom a less than a child and another illegal alien carrying over 50,000 fentanyl pills, which is capable of killing many, many people, much more than the 50,000, believe it or not, they split them up. They split them up. They cut them in half, and you have two people died from one pill. That's the power of that crap."
The White House framed the visit as a choice for Arizonans between continuing the progress under President Trump and Republicans, or returning to the higher taxes, energy restrictions, and open borders policies of the past.
