Arizona began moving in shipping containers to close a 1,000-foot gap in the border wall near the southern Arizona farming community of Yuma on Friday, with officials saying they were acting to stop migrants after repeated, unfulfilled promises from the Biden administration to block off the area.
'Arizona has had enough,' tweeted Doug Ducey, the Republican governor of the state, who is up for re-election in November.
'We can't wait any longer. The Biden administration's lack of urgency on border security is a dereliction of duty.'
The Yuma sector of the border, 126 miles long, has seen an almost 300 percent increase in 'border encounters' - migrants arrested by Customs and Border Protection agents - this year, compared to the same time frame in 2021.
The spike is the highest recorded by any of the nine sectors: two in California, two in Arizona, one in New Mexico and Texas, and four solely in Texa

What's that old saw: "closing the barn door after the horse has bolted away".
If we had a competent federal government it would be built properly but if needs be this is good progress.
What a coincidence.
Thank you President Trump and Kari Lake. That’s what happens when you run the table in Arizona. We are about to own Arizona. Also when you run the table in Arizona you get a visit from the Gestapo at Mara Lago.. 181 endorsements for 2022,170 victories..
The Brits got it wrong. Ducey is term-limited and isn’t running.
In this case - it’s closing the barn door after all the rats came in
He’s not. Kari Lake just won the (R) nomination and will face SOS Katie Hobbs in November. No opportunity for cheating there, right??
Electrify it. Or mine it. Trying to decide what is easy to clean up ;)
The daily mail gets the idea reasonably right. But the details they suck on. Spelling errors all over the place. Not in the British tradition. They need a couple of good editors over there because the right facts matter. Otherwise the rest of the story loses all credibility.
Better fill them with something. Easy to cut/torch holes in them, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Looks like Kari lit a fire under him. He’s got to do something to help her RAT opponent win by taking the wind out of Kari’s sails.
I don’t think it’s gonna work.
Fill them all with bullshit mixed with fiberglass insulation.
Plant poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac or anything else that would cause a nasty rash.
With signs pointing the plant life out.
And rattlesnakes.
Choro cactus is cheaper than mines or electricity and would work as well.
A moat with feces covered pungi sticks!
Don’t forget the aligators!
