 Working along the United States-Mexico border, understanding the situation, is the first in a series for land management employees. It presents experienced employees talking about the problems that they and the agencies they work for face from drug smuggling and illegal immigration. It has three parts. In Part 1, Nature of the Problem, you will hear about the huge amount of drug smuggling and illegal immigration that occurs along the border. In Part 2, Impacts on Land Management Agencies, employees talk about how this illegal activity threatens both the natural resource and agency missions. Finally, in Part 3, Impacts on Employees. You'll hear how employees face such things as unexpected encounters, being watched, exposure to biological hazards, and the emotional toll. This program is not intended to give you all the answers on how to deal with issues along the border, since they are numerous and constantly changing. In addition, each land management agency has a different mission and policies. This program is designed to raise your awareness and stimulate discussion about the border situation. Now let's turn to Part 1.
