This booking photo provided Wednesday May 12, 2010, by the Ector, Texas, County Sheriff shows Guerdwich Montimere. A West Texas student who led his high school basketball team to the state playoffs last season was actually 22-year-old Montimere, police said Tuesday. Police say the basketball star was really Montimere, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Haiti who school officials say was recognized last month by Florida coaches as having been a star high school player in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., a few years ago. Ector County school district officials said the man posed as 16-year-old Jerry Joseph and enrolled at Permian High School in Odessa for the 2009-2010 academic year. He also presented himself as homeless to the school's basketball coach, Danny Wright, who took the boy in last summer, the coach said.

Posted: 12 May 2010 01:58 PM PDT

U.S. Border Patrol vehicles patrol near the San Ysidro port of entry, late Monday, May 10, 2010, in San Diego.

But perhaps the biggest reason of all is that the illegal flow of people across the border is seen as a more acute problem, and a more dangerous one, in Arizona. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull)AP - New Mexico's governor says it is a step backward. Texas isn't touching it. And California? Never again.
