Boxed In on the Border

Arizona’s right-wing Gov. Doug Ducey built a rogue border wall of shipping containers — until local residents got involved.
Shipping containers surround construction equipment used for a border wall constructed of the containers and topped with concertina wire, built on federal land by Republican governor Doug Ducey, along the US-Mexico border in the Coronado National Forest near Hereford, Arizona on December 20, 2022. - Arizona agreed Wednesday to dismantle a wall of shipping containers at the Mexican border that critics said was an expensive, ecologically damaging political stunt that did nothing to keep migrants out. The state's Republican Governor Doug Ducey spent $90 million of taxpayers' money lining up rusting boxes in what he said was a bid to stem the flow of people crossing into the United States.
