The towns of Nogales, Ariz., left, and Nogales, Mexico, stand separated by a high concrete and steel fence, Thursday, Jan. 18, 2007. Many consider the area one of the most dangerous along the border with numerous reports from U.S. Border Patrol agents of being spit on, having rocks thrown at them, and gunfire. Despite the existence of a legal crossing point, enough illegal crossings occur to warrant 24-hour Border Patrol operations there. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Gordon Hyde) (Released)
