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

Arizona.
Sorry
Please.
Temporary fix to try to win an election.
Containers can be moved out as soon as the election is over.
Secondly, it’s hideous.
America used to build beautiful and strong.
-—it’s hideous-—
What drivelous balderdascious claptrap.
Better than nothing. Good for you, Gov. Ducey.
“Good for you, Gov. Ducey.”
He’s an unprincipled person, and a snake. “...the greatest treason is to do the right thing for the wrong reason.”
“What a coincidence.”
Ducey is not running for re-election because AZ has term limits. The article is wrong.
Those walls are heavy duty steel. It will take more than a dewalt drill.
Better get it done before Biden abolishes ICE and then it will be an Open Border
Nice gesture. A whopping 1200 feet of new housing.
We have become third world.
This is an error. Douchey is NOT up for reelection. Kari Lake will replace him.
No he’s not.
His term is over. Kari Lake will be the next governor.
“ Plant poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac or anything else”
It’s the desert. Nothing grows in the desert in August.
Coyotes, buzzards and maggots can do the ‘clean-up’.
Build the war
Why now Ducey? Huh?
You and your cabal had years to do it and all you did was complain.
Worthless bastard.
The rats and vermin will use those for shelter and the snakes will be along to clean up.
A mohave is the most venomous snake in N America
The cool thing about the containers is they show effectively the world we are actually entering now. It is the world of mad max.
“Alligators!”
With frickin laser beams on their heads!
I will be voting for the folks. I believe Masters is a Kali Karpetbagger who is another Jeff Flake or worse. But better than Kelly. We will see.
Really, you think they could painted at least too match, totally 3rd world!
