In the midst of an unordinary presidential race, Bordertown uses humor to shed light on controversial issues. It is unarguable that this year’s presidential race has gone off the beaten path and has brought up some controversial issues that have become the subject of much criticism. Often times, controversy breeds comedy. The creator of this show lives  and eats off of this tactic and displays this in Bordertown. Although seemingly written alongside the presidential race and specifically Donald Trump’s view on immigration, Bordertown was written two years ago with the idea that immigration would be an ongoing topic of discussion for years to come. Bordertown uses the topic of immigration in an unfiltered way, much like many other comedic cartoons do. Although the show’s topic is one that is of prominent discussion, the humor is seeming to fail to reach the audience and the show has still not garnered much success.
