La frontera entre Tijuana y los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, es la más transitada del mundo. Le sigue en América la colombo-venezolana, especialmente la conformada por el eje San Antonio-Ureña-Norte de Santander. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar algunos aspectos que identifican a dos espacios caracterizados por su diversidad, dinamismo y pluralidad. Me detengo en situaciones relativas al cruce hacia los Estados Unidos, así como en aspectos relacionados con los modos de vida y el mundo cotidiano de los habitantes de estas fronteras. También hago alusión al tema de la violencia, así como al papel de San Toribio Romo, de Juan Soldado y de Jesús Malverde quienes se han convertido en importantes referentes religiosos para quienes emprenden la aventura de cruzar hacia los Estados Unidos.
The border between Tijuana and the United States of America is the most traveled of the world. It is followed in America by the border between Colombia and Venezuela, especially in the San Antonio-Ureña-Norte de Santander area. The purpose of this article is to present some aspects that identify two territories characterized by its diversity, dynamism and plurality. I go more deeply into situations of the crossing into the United States, as well as into the way of life and the daily world of the inhabitants of the border. I also refer to the subject of violence, as to the role of saint Toribio Romo, Juan Soldado and Jesús Malverde, as protectors of migrants. These three characters have become important religious references for those undertaking the adventure of crossing into the United States.
