Arizona Governor created housing at the boarder

Arizona governor builds border wall of shipping crates in final days of office

A makeshift new barrier built with shipping containers is being illegally erected along part of the US-Mexico border by Arizona’s Republican governor – before he has to hand over the keys of his office to his Democratic successor in January.
Doug Ducey is driving a project that is placing double-stacked old shipping containers through several miles of national forest, attempting to fill gaps in Donald Trump’s intermittent border fencing.
The rusting hulks, topped with razor wire and with bits of metal jammed into gaps, stretch for more than three miles through Coronado national forest land, south of Tucson, and the governor has announced plans to extend that up to 10 miles, at a cost of $95m

I heard Sheriff Hathaway on a radio interview last week and he was awesome. The rightwing radio hosts were not happy.

Sheriff warns of arrests if shipping containers installed on border in Santa Cruz County

As a contractor hired by Gov. Doug Ducey continues to stack shipping containers along the U.S.-Mexico border in Cochise County, moving westward into the San Rafael Valley, Sheriff David Hathaway said he’s ready to make a stand at the Santa Cruz County line.

If anyone tries to put the containers in his jurisdiction, Hathaway told the NI on Thursday, they’ll be arrested for illegal dumping.

“I’m just going to make sure they don’t enter our county,” he said.

The sheriff’s warning comes as contractors build a 10-mile border barrier in a southwestern region of Cochise County – within a few miles of the Santa Cruz County line.
