Arizona rejects feds' complaints about border wall of shipping containers State moves to secure its own border after Biden cancels Trump's programs

When Joe Biden took up residency in the White House, he canceled President Trump's border security plans. Or at least he tried to.

One definite order from the Democrat was that there would be no more border fence construction projects, which left border states where fences were incomplete in the lurch.

So Arizona decided to take up the project itself, and has lined up disused shipping containers, topped with barbed wire, as border barriers.

And its officials say they're not likely to take them away just because the Biden administration doesn't like them.

It's a report from Fox News that said Arizona officials are rejecting Biden administration instructions to remove barricades made up of containers.

Allen Clark, director of the state's Department of Emergency and military Affairs, said there are a lot of federal agencies that demand the right to give instructions about the border.

But, he said, they "do nothing to prevent the public nuisance caused by illegal immigration and criminal activity that exploits the open border."

He responded to Biden's Department of Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation after the federal bureaucracy told the state that filling in gaps in the border fence with double-stacked shipping containers welded shut and together wasn't allowed.

Gov. Doug Ducey, in ordering the fence gaps closed, had said the federal government had had time to secure the border and solve some of the problem of illegal immigration.

Hoping Kari Lake will stack them 3 or 4 high. Perhaps some AZ Nat Guard presence with some Ma Deuce emplacements?

The Biden occupation by stolen election is doing the same thing the Obama caliphate did. Remember the gun supplier to Mexican drug gangs Eric Holder sued Arizona for enforcing immigration laws?

Cite the Statute, Puddinghead.

Wasn't allowed? WASN'T ALLOWED?

What the heck does that mean? Sounds more like a 'nana nana boo boo' moment from our f'ed up government!

Hire some Viet Cong to “augment” the containers.

A nice minefield along the northern side would be pretty cool too. Stopping the RAT foreign voter invasion is not rocket science.

I think it refers to the time during the Obama administration when Arizona decided to secure the border on its own (because Obama wouldn't). The Supreme Court ruled that control of the border is the responsibility of the feds, not the states.

Much the way many judges have ignored the Supreme Court's ruling about abortion, Arizona is now ignoring the previous ruling.

I grew up in GITMO. We had large fields of landmines to keep unwanted people out. They were effective.

Keep the sailors and marines from defecting. 😂🙌 Stopped there in ‘69 but was stuck on board our ship repairing a spun bearing on our starboard prop shaft.

Is the tiny short section shown in photos all Arizona did?

How long (or how many containers long) is the container wall in Arizona?

An incomplete border wall is a funnel.
