BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, Texas — The U.S. is proposing its first unmanned border crossing with Mexico in a remote stretch of West Texas.

Federal officials tout the port of entry in Big Bend National Park as a security upgrade, noting that wading across the shallow Rio Grande undetected is all too easy.

By the spring, kiosks could open up allowing people from Boquillas del Carmen to scan their identity documents and talk to a customs officer in another location, at least 100 miles away.
