US. and Mexican border

http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/migrations/bord/intro.html


Some of the things that I learned while I read this were that the border marks the place where adjacent jurisdictions meet. The border is a place to give people the opportunity. The border sets different types of laws and it changes trough out the year. The border causes other people to take advantage of others it also causes conditions of hardship and the most import thing it can cause rebellion. Workers have been attracted to the border since 1961-1665 and the reason that they have been attracted to the border is because they are look for a better economy opportunity. From 1980 till this year economic and political refugees from Central America have swelled populations at the border and migrations across it. “The border follows the river through the rough terrain of the Big Bend and through the once-busy trading posts of Presidio/Ojinaga and on to the El Paso/Ciudad Juarez twins established as the "Passage to the North" between the mountain ranges, "the border's fulcrum, where the river gives way to the fence and where North and South have been horse trading for centuries" (Weisman 1986).
