Dozens of protesters gathered in Tucson on Saturday to voice their opposition to the border wall.

Some news accounts described hundreds in attendance, all rallying against new wall construction that is currently underway in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and the San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge areas.

Congressman Raul Grijalva was there, blaming the wall, at least in part, for the divisiveness in the country today. And he was also joined by newly elected Tucson Mayor Regina Romero.

The Show talked with Mayor Romero about why the protest was important for her and the city.
