The Border Between USA and Mexico.

This is an image of the border between USA and Mexico. As can be seen, the fence separating the two creates a clear divide between the two countries. In this photo, USA is on the left and Mexico is on the right. Its interesting to see how the two countries have altered the environments so drastically in order to fit their individual agendas. Although this photo portrays the two sides as complete opposites, how much interaction and interdependence does in fact take place in the areas immediately surrounding the border?

Salaam,

What is the relationship like between Mexico and America?

Whats meaning of this? They are even two independent states, not as like borders for example inside of Palestine (where have borders after borders inside of one country).

I would say cordial at best. I don't live near the border, so I can't speak for relations there, but immigration, particularly illegal Hispanic immigration coming from Mexico, is a hot political topic in the USA right now. It was a big issue in the last Presidential election and continues to be hotly debated, especially with the added threat of Mexican drug cartel violence coming north of the border. There are also fears that terrorists may use the Mexican border to sneak weapons and themselves into the United States.
