Yuma, AZ – This week, Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN-05) traveled to Yuma, Arizona with her House Judiciary Committee colleagues to assess the current situation at the southern border firsthand. The Judiciary Committee members visited the border, medical center, and local food bank, and met with farmers, local government members, and Arizona sheriffs. The Judiciary Committee also held a field hearing with many border residents attending at the Yuma City Hall. 
 
“This is the sixth sector of the southern border in three states I have visited since being elected to Congress in 2020, so I will be very blunt,” said Rep. Spartz. “Our federal government has created perverse incentives to benefit Mexican cartels and China at the expense of the American people. We are incentivizing women trafficking, child trafficking, drug trafficking and modern-day slavery with your tax dollars. This insanity must stop.”
