Border Town Pushes To Close Wall Gaps, Though Some Say It's Dangerous

Yuma, Arizona has seen a particularly high influx of migrants and illegal crossings at the border. Now the city is looking at options to control it.

Along the 30-foot border wall, tracks along the bank  mark the journey from Mexico into Arizona.

Migrants cross the muddy Morelos dam , with some clutching onto young children. Families walk until they reach a big gap along the border wall in Yuma County, Arizona where they wait for border patrol. It's an escape for some but a strain for a county with limited resources.

“We need to get these gaps filled up," Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls said. "There's 52 gaps, 52 gates missing in the border, and about seven miles of fencing missing and a lot of electronics missing."
