After plugging holes in the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Yuma with shipping containers, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is now looking to do the same in Cochise County.
One hundred and thirty double-stacked shipping containers now cover more than 3,800 feet of the previously open border, filling the gap between Yuma County and Mexico.
Ducey’s office says after the success of the border barrier mission in Yuma, they’re looking at other areas along the border where shipping containers could be an appropriate way to make the border more secure. Some have criticized the move, saying it’s too costly and not practical. One of the shipping containers in Yuma toppled over soon after it was installed.
Looking ahead, Ducey says the shipping containers are not a permanent solution but have helped make it harder for people to cross.
