IMMIGRATION TO THE U.S.

 
 
 
      Newly arrived illegal immigrants join others in the compound, which is equipped
      with a misting system. Military-type tarps shield immigrants from the sun.
 		      Illegal immigrants often wait for hours at BSI to get on a 
     bus to detention centers where they are processed before
     being taken to Nogales, Son. 

 
     A bus can carry only 55 passengers and often
     hundreds await processing.

     more than 12 hours. He was transported to a
     hospital.

 
       The wait for transportation to
       detention centers takes hours.		       Border Patrol watchtower equipped
