Community Information

My community gathers in Nogales, AZ., and socializes at churches and schools in that community. We also gather with others in churches and schools in Sonoita. We shop in Nogales and Sierra Vista and access healthcare at clinics and hospitals in those towns. Our food banks are also in those towns. We are rural and use mainly our own transportation to get around. There are many lakes at which we recreate: Parker lake, Patagonia lake and Pena Blanca lake, and we have our county fair in Sonoita. We travel to Mexico Frequently.

There are many Hispanics and Western Europeans in Nogales over to Sierra Vista. Many people travel to Mexico to visit family. The military base at Fort Huachuca is the most diverse community. All these people are family households of Christian and Catholic denominations. This is an English/Spanish speaking community. Because our families stay together there are a wide variety of ages represented. Many of these families have lived and ranched in the region for over 200 years and travel to Mexico frequently. Many maintain old family businesses.

My community works in agriculture, tourism, mining and small businesses across the southern border. Many are working at government border agencies and others in produce and shipping at ports with Mexico. Some young people will leave to work in Tucson for a short time but many return to enjoy the slower paced Christian family lifestyle. We are a proud lower income community that supports each other through family, churches and other local resources. We have a mining industry in Patagonia which is partnered with local Provisional colleges to train mining jobs. Our environmental issue is sewage from Mexico - a Federal Gov. Problem that needs to be resolved.

Please keep us out of Tucson. My Hispanic community needs to be with other rural border communities. My rural border town has concerns about border security same as Cochise county. We need strong rural law enforcement. Our youth are enticed to participate in drug and human trafficking crimes in Tucson. Our economy is shrinking due to both US and Mexico policies. We do not share religious and cultural characteristics with "Latinos" in Tucson. We need to have a stronger community connection with other Ports. We need to be able to develop plans with other border towns with our same job training and employment issues, utilizing our community colleges and small businesses.
