“We're being overrun”: Arizona Lawmaker on Illegal Immigration

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., says his state is being overwhelmed by the crisis at the southern border.

“We’re being overrun,” Gosar tells The Daily Signal.

“I mean, I was down in Yuma a week and a half ago, and we saw ‘coyotes’ just bring children over and just give themselves up. One ‘coyote,’ in the evening, she brought in two young boys, [ages] 7 and 10, and five girls, 11 to 17,” he says.

“None of them were related. They were being overwhelmed. And you saw the mayor of Gila County basically say they have ‘no room at the inn.’ They have run out of resources,” the Arizona Republican adds.

A “coyote” is a slang term for a person who smuggles illegal immigrants across the U.S.-Mexico border.
