Airline ticket, February 11, 2004, from Mexico City to
Hermosillo, Sonora - a large city with an International Airport, about 150 miles Southeast from Nogales.
Illegal aliens often fly to Hermosillo, then take busses from the airport to the U.S. boorder where they meet up with guides ("coyotes") and walk into the United States. When they are 5-30 miles into the U.S., they lay up at pickup points until their pre-arranged transportation arrives.
Many Other Than Mexicans (OTMs) fly into Mexico and then make their way to the Mexico-US border.
