U.S. Border Progress: Migrants Caught Digging Tunnels Under Border
This video unpacks the history, design, and consequences of border infrastructure, tracing its origins from 19th-century territorial agreements to the massive security projects of today.
We delve into the driving forces behind its construction, from early wire fences to steel barriers stretching for miles, and analyze how key policies—like the Secure Fence Act of 2006—reshaped its role in immigration enforcement and national security. But beyond politics, what does the border mean for those who live alongside it? Through firsthand accounts from ranchers, local officials, indigenous communities, and environmental experts, we reveal the human and ecological impact of one of the most debated borders in the world.
Featuring rare archival footage, historical documents, and expert insights, this film sheds light on the shifting narratives surrounding border control and the realities often overlooked in mainstream discussions.
