One Face at the Border

Crossing with Jen Hofer last Wednesday. First, the sign on a vendor's cart working the fila:

LO ESCRIBO MAL PERO LO SIRVO "BIEN"

Except "BIEN" had quotation marks above and below, four in total. Then, the signs at the garita:

WE ARE THE FACE OF THE BORDER
ONE FACE AT THE BORDER

The Homeland Security slogan of the 2003 unification of border revision duties. At the plastic booth, the lady border patrol agent commands:

"Please don't talk on your cell phone.
We are recording all communication according to the provisions of the Patriot Act."

We were sent back to Mexico. Took two hours to cross in total on Wednesday.
