Evaluation of the impact of US and Mexican border treatment facilities on women's health The border between the US and Mexico is a true contact area. This is a physical place where two different cultures meet, confront and ultimately collide. For residents, the border is not a place to live in. Indeed, Gloria Anzardua, who calls himself a "woman at the border", expressed the border between the United States and Mexico as "a retraction of 1950 miles ... an ambiguous place" (1,3, 4). Today, the major characteristic of many residents living along the border is that more and more processing plants are becoming the standard attraction of every border town.

It has little relation with other economic departments. Duty-free manufacturing input entering the border zone will be collected in products entering the United States or exported to other countries. The northern part of Mexico, directly in the manufacturing industry of the United States, reproduced examples of railways and mining in the Mexican economy in the early 20th century.

In the mid-1960s, the national border industrialization plan began to support infrastructure development at the processing plant and the northern border. Create employment opportunities and product tools for the country. According to the processing factory of Mexico and the North American Free Trade Agreement, Patrick Kelly tells about the processing plant program "Foreign manufacturers temporarily purchase duty free machines, tools, equipment, replacement parts, large amounts of cheap labor and small amounts of raw materials We will make it possible to import it.
