SAN DIEGO (AP) — An El
Paso border blockade appears to
be halting illegal crossers who
come from just inside Mexico,
but is not stopping migrants
who travel longer distances to
the United States, according to a
study released Wednesday.
The blockade also appears
responsible for small drops in El
Paso’s crime rate and school
enrollment, and in the number of
abuse complaints against the
Border Patrol, the study found.
But the report says Operation
Hold-the-Line, which also is
being considered for San Diego,
did not prevent the illegal entry
of people traveling from interior
Mexico to find work.
Instead, those migrants merely
found new spots to cross into the
United States, said University of
Texas demographics professor
Frank Bean.
In addition, the blockade did
not prevent people with legal
border-crossing cards from
working in El Paso, illegally,
once they had entered.
“People with regular
employment, even if they were
working illegally, were not
substantially deterred,” said
Bean.
For those reasons, the
blockade is not a catch-all way to
stop illegal immigration, but just
one part of a complex issue, the
researchers found.
“Because all the resources are
shifted to the border, once you’re
in El Paso you have less fear of
being detained,” said researcher
David Spener.
“And if you legally cross, but
then illegally work, you have
much less fear of being detained.”
The report was done for the
U.S. Commission on Immigration
Reform, an independent panel
created by Congress and headed
by former U.S. Rep. Barbara
Jordan from Texas.
The commission, which is
scheduled to issue wide-
ranging recommendations
September 30, will study the
report closely, said a
spokesman in Washington.
Under the blockade, begun
last September, agents are
placed along the 20-mile stretch
of border between El Paso and
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to
prevent crossings.
Before, the Border Patrol had
not tried to prevent most
crossings across the Rio Grande,
but instead tried to catch illegal
immigrants already in the city.
After the blockade first began
in September, the number of
illegal immigrants apprehended
dropped to about 200 a day from
700 a day.
Most of the people prevented
from crossing appeared to be
from Juarez, including street
vendors, Bean said.
The blockade also proved to be
highly labor-intensive, stretching
the Border Patrol’s manpower to
the limit. Bean noted.
“It was just barely possible in
El Paso, and they used some
overtime especially in the
beginning,” Bean said.
Because agents had to sit in
their cars for long periods of
time — perhaps an entire shift
of eight hours — the blockade
also caused anxiety and
boredom, Bean said.
The study found:
• Businesses in downtown El
Paso were hurt by the blockade.
Across the entire city, however,
the effect on businesses was
negligible.
•There was a “substantial
reduction” in petty crime, Bean
said. Partly because of thatj
Paso police were able to depit
officers differently, which ma
have resulted in a sma
reduction in more serious crimes
• El Paso school enrollment
and hospital births both droppe
slightly. But the findings wei
tentative and would need long!
study. Bean said.
• The blockade’s deterren
effect seemed to lessen as month
passed but still remained.
•Delays in legal crossini
procedures, or backups, ledsomi
people to cross illegally, Bea
said. That led researchers ti
believe more Immigration am
Naturalization Service worker
were needed.
• Because of severs
publicized confiscations of 1
border crossing cards shortlj
after the blockade began, somi
Juarez residents with the card:
stopped using them, for fea
their cards would be confiscated
Such a phenomenon could havi
an impact on “trade am
business issues,” Bean noted.
• Because agents ceasei
stopping people in El Paso, then
were fewer complaints o
harassment, Bean said.
