The US-Mexico border is practically larger-than-life and completely imagined by most Americans. It's very hard to make it real or even package it as something manageable.
On the other hand, anytime someone tells me the border is wide open, I show them stuff like this and ask them to show me where:

This is the biggest question that no one has been able to overcome that I've seen... I think in large part because no one likes institutions.

No excuse for this guy but within our department (social sciences, respectably New England) all students are on a first-name basis with professors.
