(The program is designed to keep illegal border crossers out of the canals)...Working together on the program is the Imperial Irrigation District and the Mexican Consulate in Calexico.

The program is a warning of the dangers canals hold for people who try to cross the border by swimming across. Videos in Spanish are turning up on social media. Pamphlets and posters are also available. The IID had been working with the US Border Patrol on a similar program, but a few months ago they were joined by the Mexican Consulate, with the expectation the messages would carry more credibility for the people who need to hear the messages the most.
