ILLEGAL migrants crossing the US-Mexican border at Yuma, Arizona, are now moving outside of town to bypass state governor Doug Ducey's installation of a shipping container wall blocking the way, reports the Washington Examiner,
'We are definitely seeing a reduction in the areas where the wall has been closed up,' said Yuma County supervisor Jonathan Lines.
'One of the enclosures just down from the dam is where a five-year-old drowned in July. It is having the impact that we desired.
'While I was there yesterday there were only two people who tried to cross in that area and then they realised there was no access,' said Mr Lines.
'Border Patrol is now able to place human resources in the areas that do not have a wall and focus on trafficking there - 100 per cent a win-win.'
To improve border security, Gov Ducey had construction workers to stack the containers in five gaps between Trump-era border wall projects.
