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.

The 3-ton pockmarked, gray concrete slab sits between a bullring, a lighthouse and the border wall, which extends into the Pacific Ocean.

May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges,” reads the inscription below the towering Cold War relic, attributed to Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and titled, “A World Without Walls.”

    It’s so annoying to hear certain folks acting like all the problems in America come from this Thunderdome type situation at the boarder with Mexico. And never do they have any recommendation that doesn’t involve hurting people or invading Mexico out other ridiculous things. Just the other day I heard someone talking about all the Chinese people coming across the Mexico boarder and how they were actually spies for China. Fifteen years ago they were Muslims and terrorists.

      I think part of it is a psychological safety strategy for people that don’t have the strength to look at their own issues. For them, it’s a lot safer to blame others than accepting any responsibility.

      Whenever you cross the border to Mexico, the sky turns yellow, didn’t you know that? It’s widely known, we all see it on TV all the time!

      The cartels were sneaking in Muslim jihadist extremist suicide bombers by the dozens! I saw it in a documentary called Sicario: Day of the Soldado!
