Lines, who was born and raised in Yuma, said the surge is draining the resources of both local and federal law enforcement in the region. While only 100,000 people reside in Yuma, 300,000 people crossed through here this year which is double the number of 180,000 the year before. The Yuma County supervisor also explained the complicated reason why this port of entry is seeing such a surge in people illegally crossing into the United States.
