Townhall.com Editor Katie Pavlich on the impact of the migrant surge on border communities.
Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich told Fox & Friends on Tuesday that there appears to be no end in sight to the migrant surge that has impacted communities near the border, laying out her recent discussions with border agents in Arizona.
KATIE PAVLICH: Based on the people that I talked to, the Pinal County Sheriff s Department and Chief Deputy Matthew Thomas, who took us out and the head of the anti-smuggling unit, there is no end in sight. . They felt like they pushed smugglers back over the past four years and really gained ground against them. And now as a result of policies being shifted, this faucet has been turned back on and they feel like they ve lost a lot of ground and they re going to have to fight twice as hard to get it back.
The Pinal County Sheriff s Department has announced that Dudleyville is now in the Set zone.
Residents are now cleared to return to their homes but are urged not to enter burn areas as firefighters continue to monitor hotpots.
As of 1:00 p.m. Sunday, all utilities have been restored in the area.
On Thursday, fire crews began battling the blaze, dubbed the Margo Fire, after it ignited in a riverbed in an unincorporated part of Pina County near Dudleyville, Ariz. Due to dry and windy conditions in the area, the fire grew to 500 acres, destroying at least 12 structures that day.
As of 1:00 pm on 4/10, the Dudleyville area previously evacuated due to the #MargoFire has returned to SET status.

PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. - As the Biden administration continues to weaken border security measures from Washington D.C., Mexican cartels are taking full advantage by reactivating smuggling routes in Arizona and using human beings as a lucrative commodity.
In Pinal County near the town of Stanfield, which is 70 miles north of the U.S. southern border with Mexico, piles of trash and clothing left behind by smugglers can be found just steps away from working farms. Smugglers and the people they bring illegally into the U.S. wear multiple layers of clothing, with the top layer being some kind of camouflage. Once they get through the Tohono O’odham Nation, where border security is severely lacking, smugglers reach a drop point. There, they instruct those they’ve brought into the country illegally to leave the top layer of their clothing revealing civilian clothing that makes it easier to blend into normal society and any trash they still have with them.
