Why things are different across the border

It varies around what border you are talking about. It could be the the border of the United States and Canada, or the one of Mexico and the US. In this case its Mexico and the US.
I am going to speak of one particular place, Tijuana Baja California. It is exactly outside of San Diego County. Tijuana now a days is at a critical point. All city's are but this one, I can say this because I have been there and witnessed the things that go on. Though Mexico is a beautiful country with all kinds of extravagance and incredible traits, it is not a world power. Usually the strong countries of the world have great control over injustice. Though corruption is always the filth inside dirty power, I can always seem to find a fair justice system in the US. In Mexico and ESPECIALLY in Tijuana finding justice is not an easy task. Because of this, criminals go round corrupting the richness of this extravagant country. These things are so sad. If you are someone that cares about the people you might have probably expirienced the rage when you hear about these horrendous acts.
It seems that now you cant find a single place without a hell burning fearsomely under. There is corruption here and there but one thing that I can say is not different across the borders of Mexico and the US, there is always someone there at least one person who will help you. If you lose hope you lose sight of that person, its just a matter of catching up and not falling into the lagoon of hate the corrupt government or people have created.

Beautiful thoughts, Robert. I love how you identified both things that are different (corruption, danger) and things that are the same (hope, people to help you). It's true that no matter where you go, you will always be able to find at least one person who is kind to help you when you are in need (and you can also be that person to someone else).

I wonder why it is that Mexico has so much corruption, and Tijuana specifically...
