Goofs

This episode implies that Roswell, New Mexico is a short drive, perhaps even within walking distance, from Juarez, Mexico. At one point, a character mentions that they see a glow over the horizon and somebody says the glow is coming from Mexico. In a direct line, Roswell is close to 150 miles from Juarez. The most direct driving route between the two towns is 208 miles and takes over 5 hours.
