Introduction
For a long time, political boundaries have mediated the relations between countries
thereby imposing restrictions on various business activities as well as interaction of people. Also,
these boundaries have played a major role in shaping the social and economic conditions of
societies and their people especially those living along the state borders through dictating how
these people interact and carry out their economic activities. Over the last decades, however,

level of international cooperation is continuously lowering the significance and relevance of
borders in nation states. Together with the revolution in digitalised technology, globalization
promises to continue challenging older ideas with new approaches to the understanding of
international boundaries and borders and the regions they impact. This, therefore, forms the basis
of my research that dwells on why the evolution of economic, political, and social globalization
is likely to change the role of the US–Mexican borders as boundaries.

globalization is likely to change the role of the US-Mexican borders as boundaries. The USAMexican border has for a long time been a political issue between the two nations, especially
with the large migration of illegal immigrants into the United States from Mexico, gun, trade,
and trafficking across the border. The economic difficulties in Mexico has led to the country’s
citizens migrating into the US with the hope of earning money or gett...
