Here is Officer Balderson, chief superintendent of the Antelope Wells crossing. Note the distinct lack of traffic at his border, specifically in contrast to the newly-enlarged 52 lanes of border-crossing traffic stalls just an hour east at El Paso / Juarez. (`Don't you tell anybody about our crossing here -- we like it just the way it is.') Balderson owns 15 dogs, most of which he says are illegal immigrants who have strayed across the border. He lives in a small brick house with a barbecue grill just behind the office.
