  • The sun sets on the border fence between Nogales, Arizona at left and Nogales, Mexico at right.  Cities along the US-Mexican border have always existed in their own space, defined more by their position between two countries than their presence in one of them.  With recent increased border security the complexity of these towns is changing. Most immigrants and drug smugglers are looking to the vast desert that straddles Sonora, Mexico and Arizona.  Because this desert is one of the hardest regions to patrol, people looking to cross have been funneled here as security increases in places like Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez.  Nogales, with a population of about 400,000, is the largest city near the desert in Sonora and receives almost all of the deported or repatriated Mexicans who have been caught trying to illegally enter the US.
