The article discusses the immediate impact of Trump's presidency on U.S.-Mexico relations, specifically focusing on border security and asylum processes. Within the first week, Trump closed the asylum application system, deployed military forces to the border, and introduced potential tariffs, fueling fear and uncertainty for many. The complex interdependence between communities across the border, highlighted by economic ties and personal connections, challenges the narrative of separation that Trump promotes. Researchers emphasize that the border is a shared environment, and the consequences of these policy changes affect numerous lives on both sides.
In just one week, Donald Trump has shattered that hope, closing the asylum application system and announcing a military deployment to the border.
Despite a 2,100-mile long border monitored by drones and security agents, a very complex interdependence exists that cannot be easily separated.
