More drugs are apprehended along the border towns of South Texas than anywhere else in the United States. Determined to defend the borders, Customs and Border Protection agents and local law enforcement take their jobs seriously. Border Wars isn’t afraid to show the heartbreaking, jaw-dropping, and action-packed side of issues like illegal immigration and smuggling.

Cash and Corruption
Learn how money has become something of a drug—corrupting people's lives, luring them into believing in its broken promises.

The War Comes HomeSometimes, the lure of easy money turns ordinary citizens into criminals. Along the border, drug trafficking and illegal immigrant smuggling don't affect just law enforcement. They touch everybody in the community.
24-hour Watch
The action on the border runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So it's critical that the men and women in law enforcement stay prepared, alert, and ready to go at the drop of a hat. Follow Border Patrol Agents and local law enforcement as they work around the clock to stop trafficking across the US border.
Animals on the Front Line
The horses—fast, maneuverable and strong—help apprehend groups of illegal immigrants galloping through terrain that is tough even for agents on ATV, let alone on foot. The dogs—obedient and tenacious—use their acute sense of smell to track suspects in the brush for miles, detect drugs and humans stashed in vehicles trying to cross the border, and stop drugs in the border towns from making their way further north. We follow agents and their animal partners as they work tirelessly for Border Patrol and border town police departments, proving that the men and women working to protect the border couldn't be as effective without the help of these animals in action.
