Arizona recently started building its own wall to fill the gaps along the Yuma sector of the southern border, and it is a truly innovative solution to mitigate the ongoing crisis.
The state is using stacked storage containers welded together to barricade the open areas in an efficient manner. Work began almost immediately on the project after Republican Gov. Doug Ducey announced it, and the progress made within days was visually stunning.

Now, that’s called getting things done.
In the fiscal year 2022, the Yuma sector has seen 259,895 migrant encounters, according to Customs and Border Patrol data. This high figure is reflective of a broader trend across the Southwest, which has had 1.8 million encounters in total since September 2021, surpassing the previous fiscal year.
While some are asking why this could not have been done sooner, the real question is why the Biden administration has neglected to support its hard-working border patrol agents and Southwestern communities. It’s true that the Department of Homeland Security announced in July that they would fill gaps along the border in Yuma, as RedState reported, but the state decided that it’s better not to sit around and wait for them to fix the problem.
Ducey and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have received flack from Democrats for their state-based responses to the border crisis, particularly with their decision to bus migrants to East Coast cities. However, these Democrats, like Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser or New York City Mayor Eric Adams have not mentioned the toll that a massive influx of people has on small towns without nearly as many resources as their big cities.
There was some criticism regarding the storage container method, as two of the containers fell over in a storm, and the governor’s office quickly refuted the story.
“Let’s be clear: this incident took place prior to completion of placing and securing the containers to the ground. After fully securing them, the containers are linked together, bolted in place and welded shut,” The 9th Floor account tweeted. And, based on the fact that all the other containers around them were still upright, it does seem to be a logical explanation for what happened.

Politicians can debate about the immigration system all they want, except it does not change the fact that an exceedingly high number of people coming across the border makes life difficult for both authorities and locals alike.
Arizona deserves praise for taking bold steps to make the border region a better place to live.
Next, cut doors and windows in them, make shelters, and ship homeless people to them.
barbed wire on top I hope
That creep Deucey is trying to take away the spotlight from Kari Lake.
DON’T LET HIM FOOL YOU. KARI WILL TAKE CARE OF IT IN A GOOD WAY.
Deucy will drop this as soon as he can
Paint let’s go Brandon in big letters.
By the way, why not do this quick simple solution along the whole border? Fill in all the gaps, pain them in bright colors.
oh yeah it says razer wire
It needs to look like this at a minimum:

Mexicans prolly already did that on the other side. They used to steal the empty cardboard boxes out of trucks running between El Paso and the maquilla plant in Juarez. Empty boxes to us, home construction material to them.
Only need to see through if you are going to prepare and shoot what’s on the other side. Heck, even a high-pressure water hose to hit them as they climb, before the reach the top, so they fall back on the Mexican side would be great. But with the trailers, just pick them off as their heads pop up like whack-a-mole.
Has to be temporary.
Steel, magnetic, not hard enough to climb.
Cutters for the razor wire.
I expect it to slow the flow, but not stop the really determined or well funded illegals.
My immediate thought is she go down with color swatches, thank him for starting this and telling everyone she’ll finish it, asking public input on the best colors to beautify Arizona.
That’s cool!
But I wouldn’t take his actions lightly.
Yes, razor wire.
Agreed.
Temporary stop gap. It will slow or stop
women with children, and vehicles.
Young healthy male invaders will scale
those containers.
but but but wont it impede the mating route of the hungarian three toed sea cucumber?
I hope Vaseline spraying drones get enough time off from visiting Democrat fundraiser parties to spray the Mexico side a couple times a week?
Electrify also
The bastards trying to escape from Mehico pushed some of them over last night. Obviously they had some heavy equipment. The sh*tbirds couldn’t have pushed them over with manpower alone. We need to put some A-10s and AH-64s patrolling along the border. Walls and fences aren’t good for anything if they are not covered by weapons.
