US Border Patrol Museum See various ways people have tried to sneak into the US over the years. See an actual car-hood that was used as a raft. Vehicles from the US Border Patrol also on display. Considering that the Rio Grande
in the El Paso area is nothing more than a few ponds, I wonder how long before this museum becomes a relic of bygone times. [Heidi Crabtree, 01/14/2001]
