Border Closure Has U.S. Citizens Considering Illegally Crossing Rather Than Take 8-Hour Drive

American citizens say they’ve been trapped in Mexico by the closure of an Arizona border overwhelmed by migrants — and are considering crossing back into the US illegally themselves rather than making dangerous eight-hour round trips.

The border crossing at Lukeville has been closed since December 4 as border patrol agents are diverted to dealing with thousands of migrants arriving illegally in the area, some of whom cut down parts of the border wall to flood into the US.

The closure means those on the Mexican side of the border have to travel through ports of entry in Nogales or San Luis Rio Colorado to the east or west, turning a journey of 30 minutes or an hour into a six-to-eight hour odyssey.

“There’s so many people that are so upset seeing all these 10,000 illegals coming in a day, and they’re coming through a wall that the cartel cut a hole in,” real estate broker Robin Miller, who lives in the beach town of Rocky Point, told The Post.

“And they’re just coming in, coming in. Yet us people with passports [who] are legal to go to the states, we can’t go.” (Read more from “Border Closure Has U.S. Citizens Considering Illegally Crossing Rather Than Take 8-Hour Drive” HERE)
