U.S. Border Patrol horseback unit
The U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector horse patrol, created in 1924, combines the Old West with 21st Century technology. Agents carefully track and corner suspects and go where vehicles can't.
The horses are transported to the border areas. Most of the horses are captured mustangs from the BLM.
Agents search for weapons, identification and drugs near Nogales.
The success and status of the border fence may be up for debate, but most people here declare that vehicle barriers work.
“Some look at the vehicle barrier and say that’s not a fence,” Border Patrol sector chief Beeson says. “But what was the threat it was seeking to address? That was vehicles.”
In 2007, the sector had 1,344 vehicles that drove through the fence. That dropped to 58 last year.
