SOUTHWEST CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND POLICY CENTRO DE INVESTIGACIÓN Y POLÍTICA AMBIENTAL DEL SUROESTE CENTRO DE INVESTIGACIÓN Y POLÍTICA AMBIENTAL DEL SUROESTE PEOPLE PEOPLE Border Population is more than a number. The demand for services, infrastructure, and food create additional stresses on the border environment. Estimated cost of needed border infrastructure is $8.5 billion.
