Border Residents Remain Skeptical About The Need For An Expanded Wall
Residents along the Southern border with Mexico are not convinced that a longer and strengthened barrier will have much of an impact on their own safety and on border security.
At Ardovino's Desert Crossing, an Italian restaurant in southern New Mexico, it's not unusual for diners to look up from their gnocchi and see Border Patrol agents outside aiming flashlights at footprints on the ground.
"Sometimes, it definitely feels like a movie out here," said the restaurant's co-owner, Marina Ardovino. From the top of an open-air deck on her property, the international boundary between the U.S. and Mexico is clearly visible.
