The United States border with Mexico is the busiest country divide in the world as more than 300 million people, 90 million cars and 4.3 million trucks pass through every year (U.S. State Department). Health along the border is an underrepresented beat that holds great importance to many populations in the U.S. and Mexico. The goal of this blog will be to inform people of major border issues and spark discussions on the matter. The major border stories presented by the mainstream media discuss how to stop the flow of illegal immigrants, securing the border and what to do with the millions of illegals already a part of the American economy. This blog will pick apart these stories and decipher the facts as well as compare and contrast the various news sources. As well, original material and opinions will be presented and clearly shown. Credibility is important to any reader and this blog handles this as the utmost priority. Bookmarks, read and come back frequently!
