This is the Big Bend Region of the Texas-Mexican border. It is immense, with very few people. Obviously a difficult, if not impossible, area for successful drug interdiction. In fact, this region is not very active regarding drug smuggling. Most drugs are currently smuggled through major ports of entry. There are simply too many containers crossing the border for inspectors to search. The odds, whether at ports of entry or in regions like Big Bend, are with the smugglers. Photo courtesy of James H.
