The majority of our personal experience with the border be it here in Windsor or abroad has probably been in the context of customs when traveling. In Central America they have border issues which are far more complex than length of stay and goods purchased.
Last week, El Salvador held a historic election where the hard right wing conservative party ARENA fell after years of power and was replaced for the first time by the left wing national liberation party, FMLN. 
Pictured is a civilian road blockade to stop people from Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua from entering the country to vote illegally - with fake voter identification provided by the ARENA government.

The sign translates to "I'm not an ARENA supporter because I am not a millionaire, I don't sell out my motherland, I am not corrupt, I don't have shit in my head, and more..." These people are passionate about their politics.
