Viewed from a Black Hawk helicopter 1,000 feet up, there's no sign of the Mexican border in this southwest corner of Arizona's Sonoran Desert. No line in the sand. No fence. Not even a road. Yet it's clear we are flying over a major international thoroughfare. Hundreds of shiny footpaths and tire tracks weave through the desert below, where the temperature on the ground routinely reaches 115? F in the summer.

A dozen Mexican day laborers, who have been working since 4 a.m. filling buckets for $2 each, pause to let us take over their jobs. "They think, Gringos loco," explains our camp counselor, Wayne Ryan...
