The Wall is a Fantasy by Declan Walsh
A week in the borderlands with migrants and guards The New York Times, October 14, 2016 Comment by Local Peg Bowden: I live near the border wall, close to Nogales, Arizona. Often I feel like I live in a gated community, locking out the people I love--the good people of Mexico. The wall is a potent, visceral symbol which says we're better than you, keep out, we don't want you messing up our lily-white country. And it kills people--21 bodies retrieved from the Sonoran desert in September. We have built a wall that keeps out poor people. I am ashamed of my country for this horrific, ugly blockade. Thank you Declan for a balanced report. |
