What happens

Mexican Boarders is a 1962 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on May 12, 1962, and stars Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester. Voice actors are Mel Blanc (doing the voices of Sylvester and Speedy), and Tom Holland as the narrator. The title is a portmanteau of "Mexican borders" (referring to either the international border or the border wall) and boarders, as well as a punny allusion to the basic plot premise. This is the second Speedy Gonzales short to feature Slowpoke Rodriguez, who made his debut in Mexicali Shmoes (in his first appearance, he and Speedy's relationship was not revealed).
