Naco, Arizona
(ABP - 3/15/03) -- A vocal crowd of about sixty protesters held
signs complaining about the open border as Arizona Senators McCain

the troubled border area near Naco, Arizona. One
sign read "Spending Billions, Missing Millions, Fire Those
Responsible." While the dignitaries were meeting inside
the Border Patrol Headquarters, American Border Patrol video
taped four people sneaking across the border less than three
miles away. (More later) |

represents a sea change that can't be absorbed and hidden... |
