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 is not running again. Can we all just appreciate this instead of throwing other Republicans under the bus? Just once?
What does Kari Lake have to do with this please?
Hey at least the guy is trying.

Poison Ivy is a hydrophilic plant. Means it needs lots of water. Would it be feasible to use it in a desert setting?
> What’s that old saw: “closing the barn door after the horse has bolted away”.
Except in this case there’s 100 more horses still in the barn.
Soooo...... let’s just go with the feces covered punji sticks in a deep trench.
With rattlesnakes for S’s & G’s.
I like the water trap filled with piranhas : )
I like the way you think.
Electrified cables in the Rio Grande would ‘’spark’’ things up too.
What happened to all the Trump fence that was ready for installation and then just left to rust the minute Biden’s illegitimate regime came in? That would obviously be better than shipping containers, which have flat tops and can be climbed. They should coat them with poison and rusty nails if they have to use the containers.
Good question.
I agree that would be a lot better.
By the way, I have been informed US Consulate s tdd aff have been ordered to shelter in place in Tijuana,due to violent Russian and Chinese backed cartel fighting with the Mexixan Army and Guard.
A friend of mine communicated there is literal black to block fighting in the streets. Sounds like there may be between 5000 to 8000 Mexican Guard and Army involved.

They are playing “good-cop/bad-cop”, as they are also offering to send in forces to help the president of Mexico regain control.
Think about that one for second.....

Mostly a news blackout on our side of the border.
Oh, that's right...
Never mind.
100%!
Kari Lake took on all the RINOs in our state and won, just like President Trump!
She will be your next governor, whether you like it or not!
I am a Republican. We have a primary and whoever wins that nomination goes on to the General and we ALL SUPPORT OUR NOMINEE. I guarantee you I will do more in one day to get Kari Lake elected than you’ll do in the next few months up to election day. Cutting down other Republicans is not a smart strategy. I don’t know you, so I don’t know if you’re stupid or just don’t understand the way Party politics works.
I’m so stupid that I remember you bashing McCain in his final primary and up to his last days in hospice. Wasn’t he a Republican?
Or are you pretending you didn’t do that despite the evidence? Is that what you call “party politics?”
It must be difficult for you after all those years in office to realize that you’re now the “tax and spend” RINO with a record-setting budget defending the establishment.
And you don’t know me? You read my name when you replied and claim you don’t know me? Figures.
Yo go ahead and work harder than anyone for Kari Lake because all RINOS in Arizona will be pushed out by 2024. Enjoy your final term.
I don’t believe I know you. Perhaps you are just not that memorable. I am enjoying my final term, thank you. Doing great things for the people of Mohave County. Have a great day.
While the constitution grants the fed control over immigration,
it says nothing about what Texas is doing now.
