Border Cop

This picture represents one of a handful of films released during the 1980s that had the word Border forming part of the title and examining immigration across the Mexico-USA border, many dealing with issues relating to corruption, profiteering, border protection and illegal immigration. Keeping those themes in mind, this picture tells of a tough cop, played by Telly Savalas, who assists a young man in taking down a profiteer who is illegally bringing poor Mexican citizens over the U.S. border to work cheaply in sweat shops.
