A settlement with the Department of Justice
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey reached a settlement with the Department of Justice, according to court documents filed Thursday with the U.S. District Court in Phoenix. Arizona agreed to stop the construction of a border wall using shipping containers on national forest lands. Ducey has been placing shipping containers along the border with Mexico to fill in the gaps left when the Biden administration put a halt to wall construction.
Ducey said the shipping container solution was only a temporary one. There are only two weeks left before Governor-elect Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, assumes office. She called the shipping container wall a political stunt and a “waste of taxpayer dollars.” Apparently the shipping containers being on federal land, as alleged by the DOJ, wasn’t a part of her criticism. Does she think taxpayer dollars spent on illegal aliens is a better use of the money? Shouldn’t she want to stop illegal immigration and secure her state’s border?
Political partisans like Hobbs can call such actions as Ducey took as political stunts but the fact is that the Biden administration agreed to work with Arizona to continue to construct a border wall.
