Tijuana
Tijuana is a leaping point for
migrants going to the US. It is also a destination for Mexicans looking for
works in factories (maquiladores). American people cross the border to buy
cheap medicine and young Americans cross the border to drink alcohol.
Tijuana
is in Mexico along the border, across the border from San Diego. Over a million
people live in Tijuana. It is the largest or the second largest city on the
Mexican border.
Tijuana
conjures up images of excess. The urban poverty is a growing problem in this
city. The migrants live in poor neighbourhood and the roads are dusty.
The
border crossing is one of the busiest in the world. The US Department of
Homeland Security will fortify 14 miles along the border, install stadium like
lighting and install security system (surveillance system like the CCTV cameras).
Americans
go to Mexico to buy low-cost prescription medicine because they cost a fraction
of price the patient would pay in the US. Pharmacies line streets near the
border, some promising that their clerks speak English.
