A starting point to begin research on some of the legal issues surrounding the international boundary

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) went into effect on January 1, 1994, removing barriers to trade and investment among Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The debate on immigration has intensified in the 1990s with the implementation of Operation Gatekeeper to discourage undocumented immigration in the San Diego region.

It takes an innovative binational effort to tackle the breadth and depth of the diverse U.S. and Mexican border environmental issues.

Possibly no issue besides immigration weighs more heavily on the public conscience than drug traffic.

Indigenous Peoples separated by the border between the United States and Mexico have been engaged in discussions with both governments in an effort to restore their ability to pass freely from one country to the other.
