Traveled a couple of weeks ago with reporter Rene Romo to try and illustrate a story about how the El Paso sector of the Border Patrol is apprehending less and less border undocumented workers in the area. It was a quick trip and had only a couple of hours to try and illustrate this issue. We traveled to Sunland Park, New Mexico where the community backs up against the border fence with the Mexican neighborhood of Anapra just a stone throw away. We spoke with a few border agents who were patrolling the border in a unit that looked to have been used in a ‘Mad Max’ movie with a steel cage to protect the agents from rock throwers from the other side. Some kids were hanging around the fence trying to score a Subway sub from the agents as they drove past them during their lunch hour. You can read Rene’s article here.
