Each day, thousands of undocumented aliens slip across America’s southern borders—2,000 miles of desert, river, and ocean. Filmed in the Southwest and the Florida Keys, this fast-paced program goes on risky operations with U.S. Border Patrol agents, BORSTAR search-and-rescue personnel, and Special Response Team officers as they pursue UDAs and interdict the flow of drugs. Tracking skills and methods of high-tech deterrence are highlighted. The ugly business of human smuggling, the ongoing war on drugs, and differences in U.S. immigration policy toward Mexicans and Cubans are also addressed. A Discovery Channel Production. (51 minutes)
