You expect much from politicians.

It's entirely possible that they don't mean anything beyond: "Look, I'm doing something, but the big mean feds won't do what I ask them to do."

A good part of the AZ citizenry wants something done to secure the borders. Perhaps Joe Politician knows that there's not a hell of a lot that can be done (you know, besides shooting border crossers), but he can score political capital and probably re-election by having the appearance of making a stand to the big bad federal government.
