Why don't you live in a borderlands? They're always the dynamic fun areas of countries (yes port cities too)

Some pastor put it up in the 1980s in a crazy way where it's rock painted by hand and has to always be maintained by volunteers

Wow, that looks really bad. I was under the impression that Mexico is more developed than that these days. Guess not.

BREAKING BAD – “Borders”
Written in series-style, circa Season 5, set after Walt is rich, proud, and full of grandiosity. Jesse is tired, traumatized, but searching for meaning.

EXT. BORDERLANDS – SUNSET – RURAL NEW MEXICO SIDE

The camera opens with long aerial shots of the Rio Grande, a dusty border fence, and scattered towns on either side. Wind kicks up. A sunburned, open desert feels timeless, but tense.

INT. RV – DRIVING NEAR THE BORDER – EVENING

WALT (driving)
Look at it, Jesse.
(gestures ahead)
The end of a nation. The start of another. Arbitrary lines drawn by men who never walked the land.

JESSE
(leans against the window, tired)
Yo, are we cooking or philosophizing today?

WALT
We're learning. Absorbing.
(beat)
You ever think about how this line—this fence—splits the world in two? Families. Economies. Dreams.

JESSE
I think about how hot it is. You brought me out here like we're on some high school field trip, man.

EXT. BORDER FENCE – LATER – GOLDEN HOUR

Walt and Jesse stand near a section of fence, overlooking Ciudad Juárez in the distance. The hum of life echoes across the border.

WALT
You know, before all this... I taught about empires. Rome. China. Spain. They all had walls. And every time, they thought the wall would solve things. Every time, they were wrong.

JESSE
(squinting)
You saying the cartel’s gonna climb over that thing?

WALT
I'm saying the wall is a symptom. Not a cure.
(pause)
What we need is dialogue. Human-centered policy. Empathy. A vision of the border not as a wound, but as a meeting point.

JESSE
(snorts)
You, Mr. Empathy? You cooked meth for neo-Nazis, man.

WALT
(defensive, almost desperate)
I know what I did. That’s why I see it now. We weaponized the border. Drugs, people, fear—it all flows through here. And nobody asks why. Nobody listens.

(beat)
But we could do better. Build bridges instead of checkpoints. Use policy to heal, not punish.

JESSE
Yeah, well, nobody wants to hear a TED Talk from Heisenberg.

WALT
They should. They will. If I can build an empire with chemistry, I can build one with ideas.

(pause)
Borders shouldn’t divide people. They should challenge us to grow—together.

They stand in silence. A family on the Mexican side walks near the fence, pausing to wave. Jesse waves back. Walt does too, awkwardly.

JESSE
You think we ever really get rid of borders?

WALT
(smirks)
No. But we can outgrow them. Like training wheels. One day, maybe nations will be... obsolete.

JESSE
(crosses arms)
Yeah, well, tell that to the ICE guy who tried to tackle me last time we were out here.

WALT
(grim smile)
Then let’s teach them. One human at a time.

The camera pulls back. Two men, once bound by crime, now quietly contemplating a future beyond borders—where they’re still deeply part of the problem, but maybe… reaching for something better.

FADE OUT.

ACT THREE – INT. MEXICAN RESTAURANT – SAN ANTONIO – NIGHT
Walt meets with a Chicano activist, a libertarian rancher, and a smirking oil exec over margaritas.

OIL EXEC
And what’s in it for me?

WALT
Resource sovereignty. Deregulated extraction. Your own microstate.

ACTIVIST
And Tejas?

WALT
Cultural autonomy. Language rights. Local control.

RANCHER
And me?

WALT
No Austin. Ever again.

They all clink glasses.

ACT FOUR – INT. DEA OFFICE – ALBUQUERQUE
Hank looks up from a bulletin board. Walt’s been quiet for too long.

HANK
"Four Texases"?
(reads memo)
What the hell kinda methhead fantasy is this?

AGENT
He’s not selling meth anymore, sir. He’s selling maps.

HANK
(sighs)
That son of a bitch went full Napoleon.

FINAL SCENE – EXT. BORDER WALL – SUNRISE
Walt and Jesse spray-paint a new line over the wall, marking “Welcome to Tejas” in neon.

JESSE
So what happens when nobody listens?

WALT
(smirks)
They always listen. Eventually.

He walks off, fading into the desert light like a wandering emperor.

FADE TO BLACK.

The only one border county without shit weather is San Diego county, but it's expensive.

Laredo/Nuevo Laredo weather is not a dry climate like in Juarez and EP, its more like the weather in Houston and Louisiana.

How is Juarez these days? Any advice for somebody planning to go their first time? My impression is to stay in Centro along that road (don't go east of there) until it hits the baseball stadium and then everything east of there is mostly okay besides the sparse areas up on the bodrer

But if I go to centro, Partido Romero, La Plata, Chamizal, etc it should be pretty safe?

Yeah I've looked at NE Mexico on streetview before and it's funny how it just looks like the deep south, you don't ever really think of that as Mexico

Yeah, el.centro and all the tourist spots are safe. Just avoid the outskirts specially at night. You can go to las misiones or our main mall without any problem.

Whoops I meant to say don't go WEST of centro but east of centro (but not too south) is the safest area probably

Nice anything you recommend? For my first time I was going to do the normal tourist route of centro, I want to see the borderlands museum, then go east and check out malls, the x, maybe go to that brazilian steakhouse.

Have you ever been to a baseball game in Juarez? It looks kino it must be so fucking hate to be playing though lol but I want to go to a game
