Container Wall at Arizona Mexico border to be dismantled.

[Social Media]

Authorities in the US state of Arizona have agreed to remove a wall made of shipping containers at the Mexican border following protests.

The state's Republican governor, who had the barrier installed, argued that it would halt migrants crossing into America.

But critics who filed legal challenges have questioned this.

The wall is made out of more than 900 containers and cost at least $80m (£66m) of taxpayer money.

Arizona shares a 600km (370 mile) border with Mexico. Fences have been built along large stretches of it since 2017, when Donald Trump became president.

Governor Doug Ducey began building the barrier in the Coronado National Forest earlier this year in response to what his office described as an "ominous increase" in the number of migrant crossings.

That'll happen when the Dems agree to not let everyone in.

Prove that they did. Under US law, refugees are allowed to apply for asylum. Those whose applications are rejected get deported. Biden has deported almost as many as Trump has.

The facts and your opinion differ.

See how these comparisons work.

 

The rate is so significant that Biden, in fewer than two years, has already wracked up over one million more illegal crossings than Trump did throughout his entire administration—including more than 2 million crossings in 2022 alone.

 

Your comparison is illegimate.

Trump didn't have to deport that many, because he didn't let them in.  They had to stay in Mexico, until Asylum case was heard.

 

Now, they file, get a return date, and disappear in to the USA.

 

Nobody, who crosses the southern border of Mexico, should be allowed to apply for Asylum in USA.  As they've already escaped the country they were fleeing from.  They should be applying for Asylum in Mexico, for Mexico.

It's legal to apply for asylum in the US under US law, deal with it. Same with most western countries who are signatories to the UNHCR.
