It is an artificially defined border with Mexico there. because. in fact. the Tohono Oodham are on both sides of that. and Congressman HAYWORTH here In Congress has a bill to try to address how they can move inside their reservation. particularly as we tighten ow. border. But it is a different challenge because. quite frankly. they were there before Mexico and the United States were there. So it is a different type of a challenge on the southwest border as to how we are going to provide security from terrorism. security from narcotics. from other types of items moving through. as well as illegal immigration. Now. many people dont necessarily know Tohono Oodham as a name right off the bat. it is the Papago Indian tribe is what we historically called them. both in the north up more towards Phoenix and down in the southwest. But the Tohono Oodham view themselves as that name. and now the Federal Government has recognized them by that.
