- in this society there is competition for survival, pins node workers against each other so they cannot challenge elite
Privatization of water and resources 
- parallels Mexican/US history where indigenous land is privatized 
- sea ice in Canada privatized 
- Flint, Michigan: water security in the US 
- land/ resources treated as purely economic opportunity is a settler colonialist idea
Access to resources as a Border 
-dichotomy between people who own the resources and people who must buy them, privileges and inequities associated with ownership
Borders as an idea of separation more than a physical separation
- Rudy/Memo's families as case studies of physical and invisible borders

- Borders lead to loss of land
- Who is allowed to cross the border and why?
- Borders are sold as an idea that bring together two countries when the reality is we are separated.
- The Dam represented strong intervention from government.
- There are only two instances in which white people are in Sleep Dealer, given their appearances more significance when they appear in the film to only give kill commands.
- Immigrant labor to sustain American idealism
- Conflicts come from these borders because it creates two different people.
- Water Distribution issues

People have to leave their families and hometowns.

There seemed to be a border separating Memo from his family as well as from the people in the U.S.

The three main characters are forced to exploit each other in order to get by under this cross border capitalist system.

Draining of youth and families across borders.

seen as dispensable by their companies but are actually indispensable in terms of labor. 

Companies able to exploit because they know there are people who will fill those positions / there will always be people desperate for those jobs because of the impossible economic situation they're forced into.
