Under Alan Bersins leadership the caseload was transformed from one dominated by misdemeanor prosecutions to the largest number of felony prosecutions in the nation. As the chief law enforcement officer along the most populous sector of the Southwest Border with Mexico. Alan Bersin has made border enforcement his highest priority. and is perhaps best known for his work as the Attorney Generals Special Representative for Southwest Border Issues. He was appointed to the position in October 1995 at a time when the government was seeking new leadership and energy to deal with the proliferation of illegal activity along the southwest border which had become the principal corridor for smuggling of aliens and drugs into the country. Alan Bersin targeted for prosecution the large drug distributors and cartels on both sides of the border. and the repeat border crossers with felony records.
