Was The World Cooler 50 Years Ago? These Vintage Photos Will Make You Want To Go Back In Time!

Welcome to Mexico – 1950

This colorful photo depicts the border between the United States and Mexico, and it’s fascinating to see how the two cultures clash against one another in a single location. But the Mexico-United States border in the ’50s wasn’t always this lively. The decade, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, was marked by a surge in illegal border crossings.

The issue remains today, as it’s almost impossible to monitor the entirety of the more than 1,900 miles that make up the Mexico-United States border. By 1950, a reported 21,000 people were detained while trying to cross from Mexico to the United States.
