Border Crossings/ Cruzando Fronteras

Back


Border Crossings/Cruzando Fronteras touches on crucial issues that surround the increased militarization of the U.S./Mexico border. The United States Border Patrol, now part of the new formed Department of Homeland Security, has a history of abusing its power. Examples of this abuse range from sexual assault to unnecessary use of deadly force. It is also a widely ignored fact that the U.S./Mexico Border divides many indigenous nations such as the Tohono O'odham, Yaqui, and Navajo. This prevents many people from performing and attending traditional ceremonies and activities. Border Crossings exposes the U.S./Mexico border as the true alienator, dividing two nations that have thousands of years of migration history.
