U.S.- Mexico Border


There is so much talk about the wall between Mexico and the USA that I think you should learn a little bit about the wall that already exists.

The first video exposes some uncomfortable truths about how border security works.This is the way how the creators of the video explain what is going on: 

For example, though we often complain about violence in the area, there are three gun dealers per every mile of the US side of the border. And though we often portray the border as an uncontrolled area, between 2014 and 2015, border agents have actually more than doubled, while illegal immigration has actually decreased. The video presents the question: at what point is border patrol “security” and what point is it “militarization"?



The second video explains more or less the same but focusing on facts and figures
