A COVID-19 policy that turned away 1.7 million people seeking asylum is being lifted, and Arizona officials on both sides of the aisle are concerned about a sudden increase in immigrants hitting the state's southern border.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will continue to support new jobs in Arizona with an investment of more than $176 million for the state's transit agencies this year alone, Rep. Greg Stanton said today. Nearly $100 million of those funds will support transit in the Valley.
