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

Ducey could have ordered this temporary stopgap at any point since he helped intervene to see a fraudulent POTUS installed by what was essentially a military ordered inauguration.

Glad its being done now, but this is jist plain cold calculated.

When the pig is out of office, Kari can send a busload of illegals to his house.

To quote Newman, “What took you so long?”

Why didn’t he do this years ago?

Inquiring minds want to know.

A 1000 foot gap and they can’t just build the same type wall Trump was putting up? Come on folks.

Have we no pride at all?

“Choro cactus is cheaper than mines or electricity and would work as well.”

That’s a great idea and works for the environment. I tried to look up Choro cactus, and this came up, I assume this is what you meant.

Ducey is still a POS. Good riddance to “it” sooner than later.

They should put a lion in each container.

Imagine how surprised the guy with the torch would be after he cut the hole!

Electrify it. Or mine it. Trying to decide what is easy to clean up ;)

Create a second wall spaced 50 feet from the first wall. Release free-range pit bulls in the space between the two walls.

This charlatan has this brainstorm after having been in office for almost 8 years? This is Rip Van Winkle stuff.

Chorro is is a fuzzy cactus. Not even dogs will walk under it. It makes a very effective barrier.

This is going to get interesting.
While the constitution grants the fed control over immigration, it says nothing about what Texas is doing now.
Grab some popcorn.
