Robert Ardovino, a partner in a decades-old family restaurant business, surveys his property on the U.S. border with Mexico in Sunland Park, N.M., Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024. Ardovino has a close-up view of border enforcement efforts and bristles at politicians talking from afar about an "open border." The politics of immigration look different from communities on the Southwest border that are voting in hotly contested congressional races. (AP Photos/Morgan Lee)
