Breed of The Border (1933) Robert N. Bradbury, Bob Steele, Marion Byron, Ernie Adams, Action, Western

Against the backdrop of President Trump's much-trumpeted wall, Reginald D Hunter takes a 2,000-mile road trip along the US-Mexico border to explore how romance and reality play out musically where third-world Mexico meets first-world USA on this broken road to the American dream. Classic American pop and country portray Mexico as a land of escape and romance, but also of danger - think of Marty Robbins's El Paso, The Drifters' Mexican Divorce or Ry Cooder's Across the Borderline. Against this evocative western soundtrack, Hunter explores the border music as it is today, much of it created by musicians drawn from the 36 million Mexican-Americans who are US citizens.

Terminator X & The Valley Of The Jeep Beets is the 1991 self-titled debut album by Public Enemy DJ Terminator X and his "crew", The Valley Of The Jeep Beets. It is actually a various artists project with Terminator X doing the DJ'ing and while X gets credit for production, it was actually done by Carl Ryder (b/k/a Chuck D. of Public Enemy) and The Bomb Squad production team. The CD featured the hits "Wanna Be Dancin'", "Homey Don't Play Dat", and "Buck Whylin'". This was released by P.R.O. Division, a short-lived Rush Associated label (a/k/a Def Jam) via Columbia.

Borderlands migration has been the subject of considerable study, but the authorship has usually reflected a north-of-the-border perspective only. Gathering a transnational group of prominent researchers, including leading Mexican scholars whose work is not readily available in the United States and academics from US universities, Mexican Migration to the United States brings together an array of often-overlooked viewpoints, reflecting the interconnectedness of immigration policy.
