Arizona border

Grand Canyon state's edge

The Arizona border refers to any of the boundaries defining the state of Arizona—with California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, or Mexico.

In political discourse, the Arizona border almost always means the U.S.-Mexico border where it crosses Arizona, a focal point in debates over immigration policy, border security, and migrant crossings: Tensions at the Arizona border have escalated.
