...control, border counties lay out $108 million a year in law enforcement and medical expenses associated with illegal crossings, money most of these poor counties can't afford. Yes, there is a shortage of truck drivers, but there is also a shortage of judges to hear all the drug and smuggling cases. Arizona ambulance companies face bankruptcy because of all the unreimbursed costs of rescuing illegals from the desert. Schools everywhere here are poor, overcrowded and growing. Truck traffic is good for your business but bad for your health; many border cities routinely fail to meet federal air-quality standards...
...Which of the $20 is for me? Police and Customs people pay for their government jobs so they can get in on the mordida, the payoff system. Midwives in Brownsville have sold thousands of birth certificates to be used as proof of U.S. citizenship. The Arellano Felix brothers, Tijuana drug kingpins known for torturing, carving up and roasting their rivals, are paying $4 million a month in bribes in Baja California alone, just as the cost of doing business. The $4 million reward for their capture is one of the highest the U.S. has ever offered--and something...
...lucrative as the drug-smuggling business is, the people-smuggling cartels are prospering as well. The more the U.S. cracks down on illegal immigration, the more expensive crossing becomes.

In some ways it's the lucky ones, say the border agents, who get caught. "Everything out here will either bite you, burn you or arrest you," says the Rev. Robin Hoover of the First Christian Church in Tucson...
...dorm? Well, yes—provided that there were no key details that we omitted. Might it be relevant that, as a recent op-ed in The Crimson noted, the Quincy student was involved in the Harvard College Libertarian Forum, a group whose members have advocated the decriminalization of drugs? In my view, it seems unlikely that the University Police’s anti-drug efforts are targeting students with a particular political viewpoint. But you shouldn’t have to rely on your college newspaper editor to reach that conclusion for you. You should be able to review...
...Mondays ago that “journalism is all about trust.” And readers are more likely to trust our reporting when we include the names of our subjects. But that trust runs in two directions. When we print that Harvard officers have arrested an undergraduate on drug charges, we trust that you will take that report for what it’s worth: the University has leveled allegations against one of its own students, and those allegations have not been proven in court. It’s certainly not clear that the student is guilty...
