In the recent times, there have been so many talks given about the US southern border with Mexico and what is it like to inhabit in such seemingly busy areas out there. However, there are still a lot being left on the table. The border is about 1,933 miles long, from the Pacific Ocean to the very tip of south Texas.
There are quite a number of towns in these US-Mexican borders, all the way from the west down to the east. They are Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, California, Arizona, New Mexico and even Texas. No doubt, these areas are presently being flooded with a lot of illegal emigrants trying to gain entrance into the United States daily.
Of the 48 United States-Mexico border crossings, there are about 330 ports of entry. Those trying to cross into the United States are required to open their luggage to make sure they are not carrying any drug or harmful things into the country. This crossing is usually by roads, railways, pedestrian walkways and through ferries.

Tijuana-San Ysidro is one of the several and busiest port of entries to the United States. It is located between San Ysidro, Tijuana, Baja California, California. This is a city that largely on tourism as a major contributor to its economy. This town just like the other border towns are grossly affected with the continues illegal emigrants finding their ways to the US.
Not less than 50, 000 vehicles and about 30,000 pedestrians pass through this area every blessed day and this is causing a serious problem to those living in these border towns. The monoxide from the exhaust pipes of these vehicles through incomplete combustion of fossil fuels is causing serious havoc to the people living in these towns.
The noise, monoxide associated with the crossing cause noise pollution and environmental pollution and can lead to climate change. This air pollution with monoxide can also lead to several cardiovascular disorders such as cancer, obesity, asthma, premature death and many other cardiovascular diseases that can impact one’s health negatively.
Similarly, the increasing crisis of gang members and criminals going to the border to rob and kill peaceful inhabitants of these towns is a big reason to worry about. Though, the increased border patrols have now put these heinous activities in check but some illegal emigrants are still trying to bring in hard drugs into the United States. This is in tandem with Donald Trump’s claim that the border is a haven for drug smuggling, going on flights of fancy about drones.
There is no doubt that most of the drugs seen and consumed in the United States are from the border with the Mexico. This is what Trump’s administration is working tirelessly on correcting by scanning all vehicles at ports before entering the country. Hence, building wall is not a bad idea after all, as it is going to help in reducing to the barest minimum, the issue of drug smuggling.The truth of the matter is, pockets of Americans residing in these border towns are now concerned about criminal activities of the gang members. They understandably fear the invasion of these people coming over to kill them in cold bloods.
