Borderlands check in
How we feeling? Are we still feeling culturally open, happy, joyful, bi-lingual, bi-national, heroic, and industrious?

Without us our nations are nothing. So next time some "Core" ghoul cries about the borderlands tell him/her to shut up.

USA <3 Mex

I'm not a Chicano. I have no latino heritage actually. I moved to the borderlands. What's wrong with that.

>Shut up Juan
How is antagonizing people going to make things better in the world? Why do you go through life so hateful?

Interesting seeing the American houses so close to each other, they got that from Mexico? It's quite common houses in LATAM being this "glued" to each other.

That's a thing in America too it's just that online for whatever reason people tend to focus on suburban areas of the USA rather than urban areas

Oh yeah you're totally right about that. When I walk across the bridge I often look at the cars and wonder what percent are doing something not strictly legal

But then again most are just people with jobs and family on either side who have to sit in line for 2+ hours these days so I feel for them.

Most Americans think the border has always been this way when it hasn't. It was pretty porous even up to 9/11. The famous border walls only started going up under Bush. And for much of US history nobody cared about people crossing since they would cross and work and it was a symbiotic relationship. It's kind of sad how things change. I fear the US-Canada border could eventually go the same way but luckily for them fewer big city borderplexes means less scrutiny. But already you see it like Trump trying to kill the bi-border library.

Gaza used to be similar, people trying to work in Israel or get groceries walking through check points.

Borders are a sign of the spatially disadvantaged, the rich dont have borders any longer, they dont get checked, they can walk straight to their private jet, even the hotel lobbys are identical wherever they are

Yeah that's true also lots of rich Juaranese just move to El Paso. There's sort of a joke that Juarez has move to El Paso and the south of Mexico has moved to Juarez lol

I think borderlands have a great energy. Part of it is the chaotic energy that comes with smugglers, which is no doubt a problem. But the borderlands are filled with people who moved there because of the opportunities it brings in life and who are willing to have one foot in each culture and make the most of it.
