The Southern Border with Mexico features highly in the fevered imagination of people who do not live in the Borderlands. For those of us who are in proximity to this region, our lived experience is worlds away from the frothing of the uninformed.

You are a random Dem running in 2026 -- say, for some House seat in some swing state. You're on local media. You're asked: "what are three reasons that energy prices are rising & what are three things you'd like to do to bring them down?" What's your answer?
