u.s.-mexico war that really made sense to students. e is a lot of battles in a lot of different places, and the u.s. wins all of them, and then the u.s. takes all of this land. it is kind of a hard story to narrate, unless you just want to narrate it as the u.s. was incredibly advanced in terms of technology, and had an amazing fighting force, and defeated mexico, end of story. i knew for a fact that a lot of people died in the war and impacted a lot of people. so i thought, what if i wrote the story in the way that somebody might narrate a war, like world war ii? or the civil war, so that people got a sense that it was a wart were people suffered and people sacrificed. and not just an abstract moment where the u.s. steamrolled over mexico, and then took away all of this territory, which now we feel is a part of the united states, and that is great. so, the main message of that war -- the main message of the book was that the war mattered to a lot of people and really profound ways. the war mattered to all the officers that later though

mexico. on the u.s. side there are not that many attacks, considering the danger and the long-standing conflict that happens very close by to american soil. there is the mexico raid. 10 civilians are killed and eight soldiers before the mexican expedition goes into mexico to try to capture and kill pancho villa in retro be a -- retribution for the loss of columbus. there is a retribution that happens in may, in 1916, and a smaller town close by to columbus. there are not a lot of other raids that happen around that time. there are some shots that make it into the u.s., but it is actually shockingly safe considering the conflicts. >> deal find it ironic that a different type of conflict is happening a century later, but still the same issues. julie: it is definitely interesting. the border is a different place. time, there was no border fence. there was no border wall. the border was relatively open. you could just walk across. there are places in el paso where they had bars straddling the border. you coul

u.s./mexico border charges anywhere between $1,000 to $1,500. and it can go a lot higher than that, too. i mean, that, you know, it's the kidnapping capital. reynosa is the kidnapping capitaof mexico. and when these migrants come through there and they go into e safe houses, they're-- they're pretty much held against their will in the sense that, you know, they have to pay. and if they don't pay, they're g to stay there until they do pay. >> sreenivasan: so, is this more profitable than smuggling drugs? >> smuggling drugs is still a profitable industry, but one of ithe things that's happen that pot has been legalized in a lot of u.s. states, and pot prices have sunk tremey. and the gulf cartel moved a lot of ps and still does move a fair amount of pot, but they can't make near as much money on that. the other thing is when you get to the u.s. side of the equation, and you have people that are trying to evade law enforcement-- not asylumke ss turning themselves in-- but then they also have the added cost of but en they also have that added cost of

u.s. to mexico than going from mexico to the u.s. so let's go to what is everything now. north american authorities is the fact that . there's pressure there lots of central americans coming through mexico and trying to go to the united states so that certainly creates its difficult situation of the no the border for us but that's a situation related to. people from honduras guatemala el salvador coming through mexico relations with mexico on mexican people. quite balance that's not where the problem is so let's china to the picture because that's important the you as m.c.a. deal with discussed earlier includes a provision that forces also mentors to inform each other of talks on trade deals with non market economies and can be used to freeze them out if these talks result in a deal how much of a blow would that be for mexico and canada's relations with china. well china is of course the giant not in the room i mean the most important trading partner for each of us outside ourselves. mexico wants to develop a good relationship with china mexico has a huge trade deficit wit

u.s. and mexico in both directions. >> absolutely. it is worth noting that the may jr.diego is a republican. if the president does try to move forward with this plan to close the border he is going get an earful. that is the effect that you could see from a decision like this. he could cause $13 mimports fro into the united states. i mean, you kn a lot of republicans not just the mayor of san diego but a lot of republicans out west saying what are you doing to our economy? >> ramifications could be significa significant. stick around more troubling news coming out involve north korea. tengs with kim jong un now ton rise. on the rise. from maybelline new york. smudge resistant. sweat resistant. waterproof. up to 36-hour wear. new tattoo studio gel pencil. only from maybelline new york. this is a very difficult job. failure is not an option.a. more than half of employees across the country bring financial stress to work. if you're stressed out financially at home, you're going to be too worried to be able to do a good job. i want to be able to offer all of the benefits th

u.s. president has threatened to close the southern border with mexico.lso planning to cut aide to three countries. they say cutting foreign said to central america is the last thing the administration should do. it also counters efforts to address the root causes behind migration. aid cuts would be devastating to the region and would only foster the same instability that is making people flee in the first place. what impact might these moves have closing the border and also cutting off aid? >> well, closing the border clearly is an illegal act because the people who are claiming asylum there have the lowell right to do so and to cross the border at any particular point and the key thing is in president trump's whole rhetoric about invasions and an invading army of immigrants, there are root causes to these people leaving their homes and their countries. and making the conditions far worse for them would only bring further violence on them and vike likely increase the number of people heading north. it's a way a self-fulfilling prof fi. he declared a nati
