Last frontier of Latinoamerica

pmoroni | 25.09.2006 13:45 | Migration

The region of frontier between United States and Mexico is a "limbo" without rules, where thousands of Latins American smash their dreams and illusions, often paying with their own life.

We are slowly experiencing a world everytime more vivacious and coloured. Travelling along the border, a desolate but nice place where we observed desert dunes, cactus and sleepy hills, we feel a high tension. Every night many people coming from latin america try to cross the border as "clandestinos". A lot of small frontier towns have risen along the Mexican border, to receive in remote places those who want to try that tragic exploit. On the way we found a lot of roadblocks and our documents and baggages were checked repetedly. All this could disappear when a wall, which is in construction on the border between united states and mexico, will be finished. It will divide two worlds, that probably don’t need this further tension factor...
