Living and working at an international border crossing involves certain things that most people may not think about routinely. Often, the things we do notice are plainly visible —like seeing lots of cars from a foreign country in the parking lots of our malls and other shopping centers or hearing stores and other outlets say they accept foreign currency at equal value to American money.

However, there is another thing we need to deal with, and it's quite unfortunate: illegal immigration and border crossings.

This was on full display recently as two men were caught trying to enter America illegally right in Buffalo.

According to the US Department of Homeland Security, two men from Italy were caught trying to cross the Niagara River from Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, into Western New York, using the International Rail Bridge in Buffalo's Black Rock neighborhood.
