the district offices — many of the buildings still por- tables — and head toward the San Ysidro port of entry. This is the busiest land port of entry in the world, with approximately 50 million people cross- ing each year. The roads are narrow and filled with potholes. Tijuana sprawls behind a haze — the giant Mexican flag and the Mil- lennium Arch behind surveillance cameras and border walls. A few blocks away from the port of entry, we pass the Las Americas Outlet Mall, where upscale shoppers and Border Patrol agents coalesce.
