The US-Mexico border is a geographic and political boundary separating the United States and Mexico, stretching approximately 2,000 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This region has been the focus of significant research due to various issues related to immigration, drug trafficking, human trafficking, border security, and economic disparities between the two countries. Scholars and policymakers have examined the social, economic, and political implications of border enforcement policies, immigration patterns, and transnational crime in this area. This research area also explores the impact of border barriers and policies on communities living on both sides of the border.
