But as more news is focused on the region, one of the things that's come out is that there are actually two borders. There's the physical border of the river and the fence in whatever places it's been put up. But then there's the border that’s the checkpoints, which are anywhere from 80 to 100 miles north of there. Sometimes they're not, but once they get on the other side, I mean, they didn't cross to live in Brownsville. And that’s going to be that much more difficult if you stay in a border community where you're simply not going to be able to earn enough.
