Arizona Begins Building Border Wall: ‘If the Federal Government Won’t Act, We Will'

Arizona is taking border security into its own hands since the Biden administration refuses to take responsibility for the crisis is created.

Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) announced that he issued an executive order directing the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to fill in the gaps of the Yuma border wall.

“If the federal government won’t act, we will,” Ducey said in a tweet.

During a call with reporters, Ducey said the construction of the wall began “six minutes ago” to finish the Trump-era wall that President Joe Biden ordered to halt when he came into office in 2021.

With the resources and manpower in the right places, our Border Patrol and law enforcement will be better equipped to do their jobs well and prevent cartels from exploiting our communities. That’s exactly what our barrier mission will do.
