Monitoring Colonias Development Along the United States-Mexico Border
Western Region Geography is working to create Internet-enabled GIS that will help cities along the Arizona-Sonora portion of the United States–Mexico border deal with issues related to colonias. Colonias are rural neighborhoods within 150 miles of the border that lack adequate infrastructure or housing, as well as other basic services. Cooperators include the USGS Rocky Mountain Mapping Center, which piloted this project along the Texas border, as well as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Mexican Instituto Nacional De EstadÃÂ*stica GeografÃÂ*a E Informática, and the University of Arizona."This country has lost control of its borders. And no country can sustain that kind of position." .... Ronald Reagan

Drug Bust
A Drug Enforcement Agency officer displays 368 pounds of bundled marijuana seized by Border Patrol agents in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Small border towns like Eagle Pass lack the federal funds to prevent illegal immigration and drug trafficking across the border."This country has lost control of its borders. And no country can sustain that kind of position." .... Ronald Reagan

Warning Signs
Bud Natus discovers a dead puppy carefully placed in the middle of the road on his ranch in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Natus believes it to be a warning from the Mexican smugglers who cross his property when they enter the United States."This country has lost control of its borders. And no country can sustain that kind of position." .... Ronald Reagan

U.S. Border Patrol agent apprehending undocumented immigrant. This young man was caught with a fake U.S. social security card, a tool he could have used in getting a job or even a fake green card.
Young "coyote" waiting with some of the "pollos" (chickens) he will smuggle across the border.
Jorge, an Aztec Native American from Mexico City, waits to cross into the U.S. Jorge has been crossing the border either legally or illegally for 20 years. After losing his green card over a battery conviction, he must now return illegally to his home in Northern California.
Behind him, Asta Bandera, another crossing point along the main road to
Baja California Sur. Clearly visible, the wall erected in 1992 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers serves as a reminder of the futility of trying to stop illegal immigration into the U.S. It is easily scaled and many small openings designed to let raw sewage seep through to the other side allow easy access to anyone wishing to cross. Built primarily as a public relations stunt out of material used for desert landing strips left over from the Gulf War, the wall's primary function is to reassure the public that the U.S. government is trying to stop illigal immigration. From the comfort of your living room the wall looks like a deterrent; at least that's the uneasy consensus amongst immigration officials.
Casa de los Pobres. A Catholic-run shelter designed to house and assist migrants before and after they cross the U.S. border.
In an open sewer of sorts known to all migrants as "Las Piedras", undocumented immigrants often hide from the U.S. Border Patrol. They are aware that agents will not follow them into the contaminated waters.
Waiting for the cover of darkness, a small group of migrants look down on the Tijuana river valley. Beyond these swamps and the vigilant eyes of the U.S. border patrol lies San Diego, and the possibility of a minimum-wage job.
A young family waiting to cross."This country has lost control of its borders. And no country can sustain that kind of position." .... Ronald Reagan
