Two Democrat senators on April 21 called on President Joe Biden to reimburse their state for sending National Guard personnel to the border to help deal with the immigration crisis.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, announced on April 20 that he’s sending up to 250 Guardsmen to the border to deal with the surge in illegal immigrants attempting to cross and successfully crossing into the United States. It will cost some $25 million.
