	EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: AGUA PRIETA SONORA
		Agua Prieta, Sonora, like other communities and cities in Mexico and other parts of the world, currently faces serious environmental pollution caused in large part by the inadequate and inefficient disposal of solid and liquid wastes in the community.
		The environmental problems currently experienced by the community of Agua Prieta, generated by the inadequate disposal of its solid wastes, are critical due to their negative impact.
		Since the City of Agua Prieta is currently in the process of holding its second public meeting, regarding this aspect of the project, as well as the public maintenance rates that will be applied to satisfy the NADBank loan requirements, the financial structure is still preliminary.

	WorldNetDaily: Mexicans declare border war
		Officials from Agua Prieta, a Mexican city of about 130,000, are also claiming that the U.S. government has repeatedly neglected to inform them about new waves of immigrants before they are routed there from points in the U.S. after capture.
		Consequently, Agua Prieta leaders are teaching Mexican nationals how to cross into the U.S. and stay there, by instructing them to request a court hearing -- a tactic sure to clog the judicial system with possibly thousands of illegal immigrants who want their day in court.
		Ironically, city officials from Agua Prieta complain that the horde of illegals is causing inordinate amounts of crime, drug abuse and homelessness -- complaints also lodged by U.S. landowners and ranchers who live on the U.S. side of the border, where illegals are attempting to gain access to the states.
