Calexico, California - The heavily-polluted New River, as it enters the USA from Mexico. The pollution results from a mix of untreated sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial waste. Migrants sometimes try to use the river to enter the United States illegally. A Border Patrol agent is parked at left by the border fence.
