United States-Mexico border

The United States-Mexico border is a 2,000-mile boundary separating the two countries, running from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. It includes various physical features like rivers and deserts, as well as border crossings and checkpoints. The area is significant for trade, migration, and security, with policies in place to regulate legal crossings and address immigration and border enforcement. The border region also faces challenges such as illegal crossings, migration flows, and economic disparities, prompting ongoing discussions about immigration reform, security measures, and bilateral cooperation.
