Why Does the World Have Borders?

Why does the world have borders? Here is one of the reasons I think the world has borders: There are many nations. Some nations may wish to expand, but others realize that is the amount of land they have and they are free to rule as they like within those borders. Borders also protect those nations. Sometimes negatively, but they still do. I think it is important for nations to have borders because without them it would most likely be chaotic.

How Does the U.S. benefit Mexico and How Does Mexico benefit the U.S.?

My response to this question is: The U.S. benefits Mexico by providing them a place where they can come for new oppurtunities. Mexico benefits the U.S. by adding to the U.S.' diverse culture and ny there hard working people doing all kinds of different jobs.

How Does the U.S. Harm Mexico? How Does Mexico harm the U.S.?

One of the ways that the U.S. harms Mexico is by not giving some Mexicans that work, their rightful wages. Another way that the U.S. harms Mexico would be by sending back their illegal immigrants. Many Mexicans lose everything they have to cross the border and if they get caught they have nothing left to get them and their families back home. Or maybe they don’t have a home there at all. Some of the ways that Mexico harms the U.S. would be that there are many illegal children in the country going to school. This is filling up our schools very quickly. Another way that Mexico harms the U.S. is by their law that you must be 18 or older to drink alcohol. With the United States law being that you must be 21, there are many under-aged people who cross the border and get drunk. That can result in more accidents and deaths in our country. Also, although there may be people who come to the United States illegally, Mexicans still have many rights in the United States. If Americans go to Mexico, we do not get any of the same rights as they do. Those are some of the ways the U.S. and Mexico harm each other that I could think of.
