That area is not a border now. It is not even a sieve. It is just an area where people live where ever it is convenient. They flow back and forth across the river as it suits them.

“That area is not a border now... They flow back and forth across the river as it suits them.”

Saw a video of a fully dressed mariachi band wading across the Rio Grande for a performance. The whole border used to be like that - like crossing the street.

When I worked in Starr County back in 2007 there was no respect for the border that I could see. It was not like an alien place that whites were not welcome it was in fact both of those things. After one well I quickly decided we would not operate there. The only way to survive long term was a steady stream of kick backs and protection payments.

I only thought it was bad in the Corpus Christi region.

“do you know the precise location of that materials storage site?”

I am sory , but I don’t. I thought it was the Imperial Valley, but it looks a lot like this site in nearby Yuma (it might be for the Yuma/San Luis segments):

Interesting that a twitter search only showed foreign language comments from the Greenies...
