Around the globe, walls spring up to divide neighbors

Alrededor del mundo aparecen paredes para dividir vecinos
Por Bernd Debusmann, corresponsal especial
TIJUANA, Mexico, April 30 (Reuters) - What do Tijuana, Baghdad and Jerusalem have in common?
TIJUANA, México, 30 de abril (Reuters) - ¿Qué tienen en común Tijuana, Bagdad y Jerusalén?
They all have walls that divide neighbors, cause controversy and form part of an array of physical barriers around the world that dwarf the late, unlamented Iron Curtain.
Todas ellas tienen muros que dividen barrios, causan controversia y forman parte de una serie de barreras físicas en todo el mundo que hacen que la antigua y no lamentada Cortina de Hierro parezca pequeña.
There are walls, fences, trenches and berms. Some are reinforced by motion detectors, heat-sensing…

The walls of Shame

Hi,
We are two french director and have recently finished a 52’ documentary called “The walls of Shame”.
The fall of the Berlin Wall gave us hope for the end of divisions. However, 20 years later, many walls, be it of concrete, metal or wire, have been erected thoughout the world. In the U.S.A., in Israel, in Europe, and in many other parts of the world. The aim of these new walls is not to prevent people from going out, like in Berlin, but to prevent them from coming in.

Mexico - The Frontier-Wall Between the United States and Mexico.

The “Anti-Immigration” Wall of the Tercera Nacion: Between Wealth and Poverty
Extract from a book “Des murs entre les hommes” (published at La Documentation française, 2007) translated by David Chuter.

The frontier between the United States and Mexico, 3,200 kilometres long, crosses the whole continent, from the Pacific Ocean on the West of California to the Gulf of Mexico, off Texas in the East. We have chosen to start our tour from San Diego, fourth largest city in California, and Tijuana, the fourth largest city in Mexico.
San Diego is a peaceful town by the sea, clean and colourful. Its extension, the town of San Isidro, is the main entry point to Tijuana, a sprawling city under constant development. Every…

Mexico/USA - what does the wall represent?

I’d like to ask that when you explore the look at the wall it isn’t simply about people fleeing poor mexico into the wonderful US of A there are plenty of mexicans, (i assume i’ve never been) that wouldn’t want to go to America, even if they could earn more. Also how about the economic reasons, ie NAFTA forcing mexicans across. Isn’t the wall just another neo-liberal policy of backwards socialism, public money into the private hands of corps like blackwater
