The Border Between the U.S. and Mexico is More than Just a Line on the Map

It is one of the few places on earth where nothing but a line on a map separates the third world from the first.

A line that marks the transition from a nation that is recognized for its economic and political stability to one that is just as notorious for its economic and political instability.
