Miles of fencing and congested ports of entry make the U.S.-Mexico border unimaginable to disregard. However two San Diego political scientists have been extra preoccupied with the border we don’t see — the one we assemble in our heads.

“Why do San Diegans inform so many stigmatizing tales in regards to the neighboring metropolis?” requested Kristen Hill Maher, a political science professor at San Diego State College. “The place do these tales come from? What are they for? Who tells which tales and why?”

She and co-author David Carruthers, additionally a political science professor at SDSU, spoke on campus earlier this month to a gaggle of graduate college students about their new e-book that examines the advanced relationship between Tijuana and San Diego. It’s referred to as “Unequal Neighbors: Place Stigma & the Making of a Local Border.” 

Don’t get postpone by the academic-sounding title. “Unequal Neighbors” is surprisingly accessible because it seems carefully at how San Diegans understand Tijuana and seeks to clarify why that is so. It argues that many years of skewed and partial — at occasions outright false — narratives have had profound financial and social prices. It advocates “debordering” practices that spotlight connections and interdependence of the 2 cities to counter native attitudes that see Tijuana as separate from and inferior to San Diego.

“San Diegans usually select to disregard Tijuana as if it didn’t exist or as if it have been irrelevant,” the authors write. But additionally they chronicle efforts on varied fronts to embrace San Diego and Tijuana as a area — by cross-border civic and enterprise organizations, native authorities leaders, lecturers, media and different actors who promote better integration.

“Unequal Neighbors” was 10 years within the making. The authors reviewed a century of tourism promotion in San Diego and the vary of references to Tijuana — from “campy stereotypes” to selling a “two nation trip” to easily avoiding point out of Tijuana. 

In addition they (YIKES) analyzed 10 years of border protection by the San Diego Union-Tribune throughout a key interval — 2000 to 2010 — that noticed rising drug violence and a picture disaster. 

I’m aware of the latter topic, as I used to be reporting from Tijuana for the San Diego Union-Tribune throughout this era. The downfall of the Arellano Felix Group and the battle for management of the Tijuana plaza was a serious story — although not the one story we coated. After we wrote in regards to the violence, the arrests of officers, the position of the army, have been we perpetrating unfavorable photos and bordering stereotypes or just doing our job? 

“Unequal Neighbors” offers the protection a blended assessment. “Total extra optimistic than the narratives we heard in earlier chapters coming from unusual residents of San Diego,” they famous. But “protection on themes associated to legislation and order nonetheless predominated, they wrote, “and the framing and placement of those narratives tended to attract upon and reproduce stigmatizing native narratives about dysfunction and corruption…”

Hill Maher and Carruthers additionally carried out scores of interviews — with civic leaders, tourism promoters, activists, intellectuals, journalists (together with yours actually). In addition they sounded out a variety of San Diego County residents about their attitudes towards Tijuana.

All through, the authors construct a powerful case for growing interactions and understanding between the 2 cities. “We’re a group, San Diego and Tijuana. Neighbors. Buddies,” Carruthers advised his SDSU viewers. “It doesn’t matter what boundaries have been positioned between them.”

Binational Efforts within the Highlight

U.S. ambassador Ken Salazar’s go to to the border final week additionally put the highlight on binational efforts between the US and Mexico within the Tijuana-San Diego area. To deal with transborder water pollution. To construct Otay Mesa East, an progressive future business crossing. To discourage human smuggling and arms trafficking.

The ambassador, who arrived in Mexico in September, “has been very clear that he views this second in our binational relationship as a transformative second,” stated Tom Reott, the U.S. consul common in Tijuana, throughout a information convention with Salazar in Tijuana that I attended final week. “We’re turning the web page, and we wish to work on every of those precedence areas mano a mano with our Mexican counterparts.”

Salazar acknowledged prolonged waits on the San Ysidro Port of Entry and different ports on the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that funding in upgrades and expertise can assist alleviate the issue. “That’s not good for commerce, that’s not good for folks coming and going throughout the border. It additionally shouldn’t be good for the surroundings, all of these vehicles sitting on the market for 3, 4, 5, six hours typically. That’s a difficulty, one thing we’ve to work on.” 

Reott stated the problem has been to cease unlawful crossings by the car lanes. Tijuana police final summer time reported the presence of citizens of Venezuela, Russia and eastern European countries who have been flying in from Cancun, after which driving to the San Diego ports of entry in autos with California plates.

In response, U.S. Customs and Border Safety assigned inspectors to watch the car lanes  earlier than the vehicles  attain the cubicles. Reott stated that U.S. and Mexican officers have been in talks to establish checkpoints in Mexico “in order that we will with better anticipation determine dangerous autos and in order that fewer CBP brokers are there within the visitors as an alternative of being at their posts doing what’s needed for the individuals who wish to cross legally daily.”

Additionally Notable

  • The San Diego Union-Tribune traveled to southern Mexico to report about immigration enforcement at the country’s southern border, which incorporates expulsions, checkpoints and detentions. Kate Morrissey writes that the ramped-up measures include strain from the US and mirror U.S. techniques on the San Diego-Tijuana border. Her story is complemented by pictures and a video by photojournalist Alejandro Tamayo. 
  • Many asylum seekers stay in limbo in Tijuana, unable to hunt safety in the US beneath Title 42, a public well being legislation first invoked beneath the Trump administration and nonetheless in impact at this time beneath President Biden. KPBS reporter Gustavo Solis tells of the impact on hundreds of asylum seekers at a makeshift migrant camp simply south of the San Ysidro Port of Entry. 
  • Two suspected smugglers have been arrested in Mexico after the U.S. Border Patrol in current weeks stopped several unusually large groups of people from Venezuela, Brazil and Portugal making an attempt to cross the U.S. border, writes Wendy Fry of the San Diego Union Tribune. 
  • The closing day of a danzon festival in Tijuana on Saturday introduced dozens of individuals to the federal Cultural Heart, generally known as the CECUT, within the metropolis’s Rio Zone for dancing and live music.  The tropically elegant dance that originated in 19th century Cuba is practiced throughout Mexico, and Tijuana has its personal rising danzon motion.
