Yeah, so basically, there's this port of entry in this town called Lukeville that got shut down a couple of weeks ago, officials said that they were shutting that down so they could move the dozen or so customs officers to help Border Patrol process some of these migrants.
What that means is that the direct route that was provided by that port of entry to Puerto Penasco, to beaches that Arizonans lovingly call Arizona's beach in Mexico, that route is now shut off, which has had devastating effects for the economy in that area, as well.
It is having an impact on the small communities that live around that port of entry, who used to have a direct route to have to cross the border to visit family to go shopping to go to doctor's appointments. And now they no longer have access to that direct route. And they would have to go hours out of their way to be able to do that crossing.
