Arivaca is a diverse community with ranchers, prospectors, artists, natural builders, and musicians. In May of 2007, Arivaca became a flash point for US immigration policy. Part of a corridor that channels more illegal migrant and drug smuggler traffic than any other in America, Arivaca is at one end of Project 28, the test of SBInet. SBInet is the effort by Homeland Security and the Boeing Corporation to secure US land borders using technology. It involves 98 foot high towers with radar and cameras that send information to bases in Tucson and Sells, where directions are sent out to specially equipped Border Patrol vehicles about targets for apprehension. Project 28 is the effort to test this strategy on a 28 mile stretch flanking the border on either side of Sasabe, Arizona. There will be two towers on the Tohono O'Odham nation west of the Baboquivari range and 7 towers in the Altar Valley and southwest of Arivaca. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
