For U.S. Border Patrol agents who guard the area between the U.S. and the part of Mexico just south of San Diego, seeing people trying to cross the border illegally isn't uncommon."That's a daily occurrence," says Jeff Stephenson, a patrol agent. Border Patrol agents like Stephenson are tasked with protecting 60 linear miles between the two countries and 930 miles of coastline. This year, the U.S. government added 14 miles of a primary wall that stands 18-feet high. Next year, Stephenson says a 30-foot-tall secondary wall that will stand behind the primary wall it will be completed. "It gives our agents more time, because it's a much more significant challenge," Stephenson says. "This can’t be scaled the way the old primary fence could."The new bollard walls replace a system Stephenson says was easy for people to climb over. The primary wall used to be an 8 to 10-foot steel wall made from Vietnam War-era landing mats. The secondary fence was made of steel mesh. "That worked pretty well for a while," Stephenson says. "With the development of power tools and cordless power tools, smugglers could come over the primary fence and hit the secondary fence and cut through it and be gone in two minutes or less."Starting in 2015, Stephenson says agents in San Diego started to see an increase in people crossing the border illegally coming from places other than Mexico."That presents a significant challenge, because the processing of those people and as far as a government wide approach is a much more significant challenge with more time involved and more work that goes into managing someone from another country," Stephenson says. "If someone is from Mexico, it's a lot easier to bring them back to Mexico." Stephenson says the situation along this border is a crisis."When we see the large influx of people crossing the border illegally and as Border Patrol, we have no choice but to manage and deal with that," Stephenson says. He says managing the number of people attempting to come into the U.S. is overwhelming. "We simply don't have and haven't had the resources to manage that sheer number of people, not to mention we're tasked with protecting a border, enforcing the immigration laws between the ports of entry, but then we have all these sorts of people," Stephenson says. "We're supposed to house them, feed them, and continue them down the train and set them up for their cases and process them, and we've struggled to deal with the sheer number of people, so it's absolutely a crisis."As immigration continues to be a huge topic nationwide, Stephenson says people should know how important it is to protect the hundreds of miles that separate Mexico and the United States. "When you don't have border security, you're leaving yourself exposed,” he says. “You're open to anybody and anything that may want to enter the country that may do harm do us harm.”As crews continue to build miles of border fencing, Stephenson says it's only a piece to helping agents do their job. "Putting something as ‘the answer,’ that's not a realistic thing. You're going to face different challenges as time goes on, but this helps us on the front lines for Border Patrol agents and the work we do,” he says. “When you're talking about larger immigration and everything, that's for the politicians to decide. That's for them to figure out it. Our job is to secure the border and to enforce immigration laws and that’s what this helps us do, plain and simple." 3482

For a few hours on Thursday, Instagram users were stunned to find that the app's timeline had been completely redesigned, removing one of the most satisfying features of the social network — scrolling.Turns out, that update was never supposed to go public, according to Tech Crunch.The technology blog spoke to an Instagram spokesperson that confirmed that that the update was sent out due to a "bug," and that users' feeds would return to normal.Instead of scrolling vertically to see photos of friends and celebrities, some Instagram users reported Thursday morning that an update forced them to swipe left and right to view new photos — a move that mimicked Instagram's "Stories" feature.The response to the brief change on social media was, unsurprisingly, negative. Some compared the update to the infamous 824

General Motors’ self-driving car company will attempt to deliver on its long-running promise to provide a more environmentally friendly ride-hailing service in an unorthodox vehicle designed to eliminate the need for human operators to transport people around crowded cities.The service still being developed by GM’s Cruise subsidiary will rely on a boxy, electric-powered vehicle called “Origin” that was unveiled late Tuesday in San Francisco amid much fanfare. It looks like a cross between a mini-van and sports utility vehicle with one huge exception — it won’t have any steering wheel or brakes. The Origin will accommodate up to four passengers at a time, although a single customer will be able summon it for a ride just as people already can ask for a car with a human behind the wheel from Uber or Lyft.For all the hype surrounding the Origin’s unveiling, Cruise omitted some key details, including when its ride-hailing service will be available and how many of the vehicles will be in its fleet. The company indicated it will initially only be available in San Francisco, where Cruise has already been offering a ride-hailing service that’s only available to its roughly 1,000 employees.By eliminating the need for a human to drive, Cruise theoretically will be able to offer a less expensive way to get around — a goal already being pursued by self-driving car pioneer Waymo, a Google spinoff that has been testing robotaxis in the Phoenix area for nearly three years.Cruise had planned to have a robotaxi service consisting of Chevrolet Bolts working without human backup drivers by the end of 2019, but moved away from that last year after one of Uber’s autonomous test vehicles ran down and killed a pedestrian in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe, Arizona, during 2018.Still aware of the fallout from that deadly crash, Cruise is promising “superhuman performance” from the Cruise, which GM hopes to manufacture at half the price of comparable vehicles using fuel-combustion engines. GM also expects to announce where the Origin will be made within the next few weeks, Cruise CEO Dan Amman said.The Origin won’t be sold to consumers though. “It is not a product you can buy, but an experience you share,” Amman said.The Origin represents another significant step for Cruise, which had only 40 employees when GM bought it in 2016 as part of its effort to catch up in the race to build cars that can drive themselves. Since then, Cruise has attracted more than billion from investors, including .75 billion from Honda and .25 billion from Japanese tech investment firm SoftBank. Honda also helped develop the Origin. GM currently values Cruise at billion, fueling speculation that the subsidiary may eventually be spun off as a publicly traded company.Whenever Cruise’s ride-hailing service makes its debut, it will still be chasing Waymo, whose work on self-driving car technology began inside of Google more than a decade ago. Waymo’s Phoenix-area service already has given more than 100,000 rides, according to the company. It expanded beyond the test phase service 13 months ago with a ride-hailing app that now has about 1,500 active monthly riders, Waymo says.By comparison, ride-hailing leader Uber now boasts about 103 million active monthly users with a service that relies on human drivers — a dependence that is the main reason the company has been losing money throughout its history. Despite the fatal 2018 crash that stoked the public’s worst fears about self-driving cars, Uber is still trying to build a fleet of robotic taxis as part of its question to become profitable.Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also pledged that his company’s electric cars will be able to drive themselves without a human behind the wheel before the end of this year so they can moonlight as taxis when their owners don’t need the vehicles, but industry analysts doubt that promise will come to fruition. 3921
