A U.S. Customs and Border Protection vehicle stands watch by one of the many walls constructed near the border, along the Rio Grande River, to disrupt the flow of illegal contraband and aliens across our border. The Georgia National Guard volunteered to deploy to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas for all of 2014 to support the Border Patrol with aerial detection and monitoring as part of Operation River Watch II on the U.S. border with Mexico in Texas.
