Teddy Cruz

Teddy Cruz has done research pertaining to the border between San Diego and Tijuana. He draws a lot of interesting conclusions:

"We control access, and only insofar as it benefits the US. In reality, the wall is an anachronism; it is virtually powerless against the international connections and interests of a world emancipated by flows of information, technology, and hybrid identities belonging to a global community sans frontiers. This is the paradox of a world defined by geographies of contradiction, a world that wants to be simultaneously bordered and borderless."
