...press, threatened with criminal charges by Hispanic human-rights groups in Tucson, Ariz. And the U.S. Attorney's office in Tucson is keeping a file open on Barnett for possible prosecution, according to police sources. Barnett has to watch his step in other ways too. Across the border in Agua Prieta, a dusty boomtown of cheap hotels, cantinas and shops specializing in plastic water jugs and can openers for the illegals' desert odyssey, Barnett is considered bad for business. More than 1.2 million illegals--Mexicans, Central Americans, Chinese and a smattering of Europeans--poured through here last year. Yet during...
...crisp, cool refreshing taste and feel of agua is preferable to any chemical-infested imitator. What did cavemen drink? They drank water. (And maybe, during droughts, some pee.) What's on the table during presidential debates? Gatorade? Powerade? No-good-old H-2-0. Get it in the sink with tap, get it in France with Evian.

The youngster collects $50 a head for leading migrants the last few hundred yards over the border...
...more than $1,000--triple the price a few years ago. But still they come. "The only real solution is in Mexico," declares Douglas Mayor Ray Borane. "Their government needs to address the flagrant trafficking of humans for profit." Indeed, the traffic has been an economic boon for Agua Prieta, whose 1998 population of 120,000 has swelled an additional 100,000. In the past two years, 15 hotels have opened or started construction, primarily to provide lodging for U.S.-bound job seekers.
