It is about an alternative
Principals with bordercommerce.com will bring an alternative to a border fence. It is urban border barriers for civic and public use. It is frontier barriers to protect the borderland. It is circle walls to protect precious physical assets on the border.
Forging the future
We have laid down concepts and ideas for the future. We have published our 2nd edition book. We have discussed concepts that do not exist anywhere else. We have stitched current concepts and science to develop applicable uses along the U.S / Mexico border. We will continue to expand on the ideas and concepts that relate to border security based on economic development of the borderland.
Experienced
The principals of this website have worked over 12 years on this idea of secure borders based on economic development and human occupation. Where there are people doing the ordinary things in life and with their families, then there is security. Security does not exist in a vacuum where there is no people. Bring people to the borderland as real border security.
2009
There is talk about building a border fence. Before this, there was only a chain link fence. From El Paso, it was common to see Cd Juarez on the other side of the border. It was during this time, a message from then UTEP president Diana Natalicio made a statement similar to this. “If you want to make change, you have to go out there and do it.” Partly in response to the notion of Job creation.
bordercommerce.com is created. In response to the border fence, bordercommerce.com created the slogan, Border Security through Real Estate Development. Sometime later, the concept of the River Uplift was being created.
2010
bordercommerce.com creates a website to consolidate some of our concepts. Terms like “Economic Desert” was used to describe the land between the river and the city that was put to no use, hence, economic desert.
