Set 3



Looking across the barbed wire fence into Mexico from the United States. The rutted dirt road on the U.S. side permits Border Patrol vehicles a top speed of 15 mph. The Mexican road, 20 feet away, is graded. Dozens of vehicles speed along the Mexican road every evening at 60 mph, carrying their human cargo.


 
 
 

Another pickup crammed full of people who will attempt to break U.S. law. Their destination is the abandoned Mexican ranch in the distance, where they will wait until cover of darkness to cross into the U.S.

An empty truck, speeding back toward Naco after dropping their human cargo at the abandoned ranch.


 
 

This vehicle was abandoned the previous night, just across our "secure" border fence.
