Berlin Wall relic gets a ‘second life’ on US-Mexico border as Biden adds barriers
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — As the U.S. government built its latest stretch of border wall, Mexico made a statement of its own by laying remains of the Berlin Wall a few steps away.
Dateline today, Sept. 3.
I saw the Iron Curtain up close and personal on the border between Austria and Czechoslovakia a long time ago. It wasn't a wall in the way the wall in Berlin was; it was concertina wire, land mines, and, about 200 yards away over flat, bare land, watchtowers. It was there to keep people from leaving the Soviet Union. It was also there to keep me out.
It's always made me more than a little uncomfortable to be living in a country with a border wall of its own.
