Recently, the state of the United States-Mexico border has assumed primary importance in American domestic politics. And with that, the border has been conflated with notions of security. This paper will investigate the root causes of the border’s securitization by grounding the case study of the Camarena Affair within The Copenhagen School’s burgeoning constructivist literature on securitization. The paper will conclude by discussing the legislative fallout from the Camarena Affair’s legacy, and arguing that the successful linkage between border and security occurred long before the events of September 11th, 2001.

The aim of this study was to examine the perspectives of 15 undergraduate students in terms of their choice of an academic program. The approach of this study was conducted through the qualitative case study. The results suggest that participants believe that improving their communication skills in English will facilitate their integration into the economy of the United States-Mexico border region. The novelty of this finding is that it prioritizes English as a second language for undergraduate students, perhaps at the level of discipline-specific program characteristics. The main limitation of this study was its focus on one side of the border.
