Conclusions The history of the formation of the Mexico-US border is full of tensions and gaps.

(http://www.cairco.org/issues/how-many-illegal-aliens-reside-united-states) The fence could greatly lower these numbers if built. Not only will it make America seem less inviting‚ it will be a lot easier to
