OFIR President tours Arizona - Mexico border
Three staff members from CIS and 6 people from every corner of the country were selected to tour the border from Yuma to Tucson behind the scenes with officials from Border Patrol, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Tohono O'odham Nation Law Enforcement and other representatives, Arizona's Bureau of Land Management's Chief Ranger and many others who shared detailed information about the problems they encounter on a daily basis. The indepth study was designed to give group members a deeper look into what is really happening on the border beyond the hyperbole and news sound bites.
