The findings of new research on the failure of the current U.S. border-enforcement strategy to deter undocumented immigration from Mexico, conducted by Wayne Cornelius and a team of researchers at U.C.-San Diego's Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, was cited in Salt Lake City's Deseret News. Cornelius, director of the center, notes that undocumented immigrants are increasingly paying smugglers to guide them into the United States through ports of entry because it is "the most foolproof way of reducing the physical risk" of undocumented entry. ("Reports say illegal U.S. entry not difficult," Deseret News, June 16, 2008)
