		We hope you, as an important stakeholder, discover how and why the USIBWC carries out its critical mission as America's premiere federal agency responsible for addressing technical transboundary management issues in the United States - Mexico border region.
		Established in 1889, the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) has responsibility for applying the boundary and water treaties between the United States and Mexico and settling differences that may arise out of these treaties.
		We continually strive to carry out our mission through binational cooperation and in a manner that is responsive to the needs of all stakeholders.

	TRIP Home Page
		The shaded area highlights the Transboundary Resource Inventory Program's area of focus -- approximately 400,000 square miles of land and natural resources along the U.S.-Mexico border.
		The Transboundary Resource Inventory Program (TRIP) is linking institutions and information across state and international borders in an effort to create and provide accurate and comprehensive data to resource managers, research analysts, and planners in business and government.
		The border is experiencing dramatic population and economic growth, and many data sets and maps are insufficient to meet the needs for binational project planning and communication.

	Death toll rises on US-Mexico border Stop the persecution of immigrant workers!
		The situation on the US-Mexico border is a powerful expression of the universal tendency of capitalist globalization to virtually eliminate border restrictions for the transnational corporations and for those wealthy enough to buy citizenship, while turning frontiers into militarized zones against those whose labor creates the wealth of these same companies and individuals.
		Death toll rises on US-Mexico border Stop the persecution of immigrant workers!
		No amount of immigration sweeps or crackdowns will drive these workers out of the country, and no matter how intense the militarization of the southern border of the US, they will continue coming.

	Militarizing the Border
		Border Czar Bersin provides the official line: Our border is intended to accomplish twin purposes: On the one hand, it is intended to facilitate trade in order to bring our nation the significant benefits of international commerce and industry.
		In 1986, the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System, headed by Vice President George Bush and Attorney General Edwin Meese, launched Operation Alliance to foster interagency cooperation and interdict the flow of drugs, weapons, aliens, currency, and other contraband across the Southwest border.
		The Border Patrol is quite consciously pushing them to remote, difficult terrain where antidrug efforts are concentrated and they're willing to use a higher level of coercion, observes Dunn.

	Immigrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The number of deaths of illegal immigrants in the United States-Mexico border has been increasing on a regular, yearly basis since the middle 1990s, garnering the attention of news media and law enforcement alike.
		The deaths have caused tension between the United States and other countries, particularly Mexico, from where a majority of illegal immigrants that enter the United States through the Southwestern borders come.
		Since the middle 1990s, Border Patrol police in the United States have been dealing with the deaths of illegal immigrants, particularly in the state of Arizona.

	United States–Mexico border - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whether the border between Mexico and the breakaway Republic of Texas followed the Rio Grande or the Nueces River further north was an issue never settled during the existence of that Republic, and the uncertainty was one of the direct causes of the 1846–48 Mexican-American War.
		The U.S. Border Patrol is too underfinanced and understaffed to effectively fight illegal immigration (with an average of four agents per mile of the border), and the Mexican government, receiving tens of billons of dollars each year in expatriate remittances, stops one step short from actually encouraging emigration.
		With the exception of a small number of minor Rio Grande border disputes, since settled, the current course of the border was finalized by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the 1853 Gadsden Purchase.

	Beyond Borders - A Special Report on Immigration
		On this side of the border, he and others like him are stirring a national debate marked by anger, passion and little common ground about what, exactly, should be done to confront the issue of immigration and particularly the tide of illegal immigrants.
		Despite an "unprecedented buildup” at the southern border over the past 10 years, most migrants are still highly motivated to cross, and they’re mostly succeeding on their first or second try, said Wayne Cornelius, director of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at UC San Diego.
		At the federal level, the REAL ID Act, pending approval in the Senate, would close a 3.5-mile gap in the San Diego border fence and bar the use of driver's licenses as identification for federal purposes if they are issued by a state that allows undocumented immigrants to apply for them.

	U.S.-Mexico plan seeks to cut perils along border
		Though certain border locales have previously launched public-service efforts to discourage illegal immigrants from swimming dangerous channels or trekking vast deserts, Tuesday's announcement is the first bi-national effort and the first one to be coordinated from Washington.
		SAN ANTONIO -- Acknowledging that illegal immigrants are risking their lives to get across the border, U.S. and Mexican officials Tuesday announced a plan to steer illegals away from danger, rescue them if they get into trouble and better identify them in case of death.
		The identities of illegal immigrants who perish along the border have long been a source of mystery for U.S. authorities, who sometimes bury them in anonymous graves.

		Smugglers, the Border Patrol, or undocumented migrants themselves can be scapegoated for the high number of border deaths, but the real underlying problem is the U.S. government's failed and contradictory immigration policies, says Peter Nuñez, who served as a U.S. attorney in San Diego from 1982-88.
		U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it's the smugglers who are behind the growing number of deaths on the border.
		The border blockade strategy has also made smugglers, or coyotes, almost indispensable to undocumented migrants, who are willing to pay more for the difficult trek, she adds.

		Border Patrol officials said the increased number of deaths was a result of the increased migrant flow across the border.
		Late last month, Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar said he was pleased with results from the added enforcement on the border, which includes use of unmanned aerial drones and a program to fly illegal immigrants caught in Arizona back to the Mexican interior.
		By Friday, the Border Patrol had reported 146 deaths along Arizona's border so far this fiscal year compared to 136 in all of the last fiscal year.
