Abstract: Building upon previous research on mobility, our study applies the concept of motility as developed by Kaufmann to border towns. This paper seeks to extend our knowledge on cross-border mobility under the Trump presidency by analyzing cross-border practices at the Mexico/US border, in the border towns of Nogales, Arizona and Sonora. The results of the survey lead us to conclude that though the border is present in the residents’ daily lives, the dynamics that shape the border are changing. Cross-border mobility is reorganized locally in a context of rebordering and increased border surveillance.
