MAY 8, 2000 The Tohono O'odham in Arizona and the Kumeyaay in California are worried about increased crackdowns at the US-Mexico border. The tribes have members on both sides of the border and require contact for social, cultural, political, and health reasons. The Tohono O'odham previously had no problems with Mexican members crossing the border. Tribal IDs were often sufficient but Border Patrol policy changes so frequently, resulting in problems for the tribe. The Kumeyaay in Mexico face a difficult issue in that many are rural and poor farmers, lacking vital documentation such as birth certificates required for border crossing. Get the Story:
