Border Wars

Description

It stretches for 2,000 miles, carving through major metropolitan areas and inhospitable deserts as it divides the U.S. from Mexico. Each year about 350 million people cross this, the busiest border in the world, not including an estimated one million undocumented immigrants. In response to a growing tide of illegal activity that includes human and drug smuggling, U.S. factions have tightened their grip on the border. But by foot or by car, immigrants and drug traffickers will do whatever it takes to reach the U.S. Drugs and the border are two hot commodities that lead to an escalated battle - an increase in the arsenal of weapons and tactics. It's become war - as this episode of Border Wars investigates.
