To build a border wall, Arizona is asking for donations from all over the United States (Alberta Times) Arizona is once again taking a tough approach on immigration, with state lawmakers asking for donations from the nation to build a wall along every inch of the state's border with Mexico, an unprecedented step by a state to curb illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Senator Smith, who proposed the plan, said that people across the country have donated about $255,000 to the border wall project since the state called on people who visit the website on a special website to show the world the determination of the American people and the can-do spirit. But the funding only covers half a mile of border wall, with Smith estimating the total cost to be $34 million. The border wall plan is the latest step the state has taken to try to spark a new national debate over whether the federal government can curb illegal immigration. The judge's ruling terminated key provisions of SB 1070, and the governor is appealing to the Supreme Court to overturn the judge's ruling. Brewer also signed a border wall bill. Critics of the proposed border wall say the project is expensive and ineffective. They say the federal government has spent billions of dollars building a border wall that has failed to stop the influx of illegal immigrants. Smugglers and smugglers who try to cross the border do so by cutting off, bypassing, climbing or digging underground passages. In the southern region, two drug smuggling tunnels were discovered on the border of Nograles town last week alone. Senator Smith's supporters say the federal government has done little to secure the border, so their plan to build a new border wall will close loopholes for drug smuggling and smuggling.
