Dude from Slate visits border, discovers trash and other illegal immigration issues

Last week, Slate ran a three-parter from Judd Slivka entitled "How the Border Changed Us". It's not exactly pro-illegal immigration, but it's a standard "dude (as in the ranch) visits desert southwest for first time" piece. It concentrates on the trash left behind by crossers and their attempts to get water and lifts out of border residents. Oh, and it only uses the word "illegal" about trails and roads, not about entrants.
