Beautiful ! When this song was written and recorded, the Dream of the Promised Land across the Borderline was a whole lot safer then what it is now. Then , it was a peaceful and calm area and very safe area as shown in the the Movie " The Border " but nowdays that has all changed. Very Unsafe for anyone because of the Drug Cartels and drug gangs shootings and killings that take place on or near the borderline these days.

Love Freddy Fender...When I hear his songs... I imagine myself down in Mexico flirting senoritas and trying to stay out of trouble...

A long time ago, I seen the movie Borderline. POWERFUL song to be just the fit, Freddy, Jack and Harvy yea, but the thing that stuck out in my head was the girl with the little brother.S

Freddy Fender ... a legend in his own time.So poignant ... so deep, ... so touching ... timeless.

Don't know about this version, but an even better one, just gorgeous, is on the soundtrack to the Jack Nicholson movie "The Border" (it plays over the opening credits).
