- With shared economic, environmental, and humanitarian concerns, communities of local planners, designers, and citizens work toward cross-border collaboration. Ronald Rael, an architecture professor, takes an opportunity to use art to prove the uselessness of building borders.

When I see those kids makes me sad God bless them all. Growing up in Mexico is hard but we were happy with what we had
Yes
Amen

aeroambrose morning baby I’m
@Carpediem 2500 thats correct
The see saws made me cry.. then the little boy saying he had fun and appreciated them. Tears just kept flowing. I wish they could of left them there, but I guess people would just steal them
The video also touched my heart too Maria. I read a lot about us/Mexico.
I cried too! The simplicity of something so fundamental that we can all enjoy was beautiful.
I agree with what this artist is doing. It not only adds to the aesthetics of the border wall, which doesn't look very pleasing, but it also brings people together what the border wall was supposed to separate.
This is a peaceful activity bringing hope to young minds rather than building hatred.
Wish they had this at plallas de Tijuana.
No wall can separate the spirit of the people.
can I live in your house now?
Is that why you have locks on your house and car doors?
@@3506Dodge this person replay would be" orange man bad"

I can't figure out how this wall keeps anyone out. It looks like a person could easily shimmy between the pillars!? What am I missing here?
God bless both countries and may both peoples live in peace 🇺🇸❤️🇲🇽
Im born in indiana but as kid i grew up in Aguascalientes, mexico. Im happy i was able to grow up there
Why? Why did you leave if its so wonderful?
3506Dodge
Aguascalientes is wonderful as well, its sick that foreigners don’t even know how’s life in other places in the world but when they hear it’s out of the US they immediately think it’s worse.
@@Alex-vc1kk "worse" than what? What are you comparing?
3506Dodge maybe it wasn’t up to him. Kids don’t choose where they live lol. They go where their parents/guardians take them
Im happy your my primo
El Paso, the interaction among the citizens of the different countries... Beautiful
El Paso and Juarez are a beautiful mix of cultures.
I've read in a lot of books the relationship between two towns; Piedras Negras 🇲🇽 and Eagle Pass 🇺🇸 those were once united and had a history in common but they being separated trough the last years.

No, You don't... and I can tell you that it is actually ALL about the Reagan-fabricated WAR on DRUGS... and Surplus U.S. Military GUN sales across the Texas/Mexico border. Do some research before you become a true Evilgelical RepubliKKKlan and start BLAMING what it is you are Lied to blame.
I'm Mexican. It is sad, but it is what it is. We can't say it's the US's fault that bad people often cross it.
I agree they are only trying to protect their people, but it's sad nevertheless, we could had open borders if corruption and violence didn't sweep Latin America.

@@navigator590 Yeah, the US is full of corruption too... Lobbyists are everywhere...
@Angel Santos The drugs are taken by fools, they're the problem.
The Wall is to Good.

Theres n old saying i heard growing up. “Ni de aqui ni de alla”. But i am so glad my parents let me and my brothers get to know old Mexico as kids. In the 80s it was beautiful.
Mexico never had the violence we see today before 2008 ish, this all started around that time and man does it suck. Used to be my little getaway vacation every weekend growing up but all that changed when the cartels wars started around 2008 ish
@@Montoya1991 They just got bigger and spread out more, until they reached your vacation spot.
Does that mean, "neither here nor there"? Just curious
Jacklyn L White yessir
Sandia Delli Gatti Nice
Just hear me out. I'm in the USA. I love Mexico. I would not be bothered by ppl' on both sides coming and going with proof. I don't believe BAD ppl' should be able to cross on either side. We all need to take action against the gangs who first come through Mexico (doing bad) on their way here. We should not let them in either country.
😔
The thing is that both governments have family members or trusted ones who high drug addicts fueling the drug industry with millions of dollars
TJ looked so beautiful on the other side.
But when you get there not so beautiful
Looks like a breath of fresh air compared to the US.

Mexican are hardworking people, I live in the US a long time and see them every single day - very kind and hardworking people. I love them. They just are trying to survive and feed their families!
Agreed.
Its nice to see taking pictures like that and its safe to do it with no police around☺
yeah i thought that was suspect af he looked like a chomo
The DRUG problem in the US has to stop or they won't be anybody left
It would never stop. Believe it or not..
dramatic aint it
@@BeanzYoox Is like alcohol... Never stopped.
As a Mexican, the drug thing should stop, the wall is a good thing and people should cross legally as I have many many times
Our own Government brings it in. It's big business for them they need stop blaming other countries.

I am documenting the human rights violations and ecocide on the US/MX border. It has become my passion project and I hope to shed light on this subject. The New Yorker made a documentary called American Scar (it is in the film circuit right now) and I am featured in it.

Get rid of cartels first
Breaking News: Americans are now climbing the wall to avoid The Draft for WW3
Joke
The mexican people are still willing to receive them with open arms, even when they didn't to our own people its the sad truth.
Stupid.
I grew up in Mexico hernosillo and it’s hard growing up in a poor country, but it’s beautiful too. I’m glad I’m Mexican but I was mad when the border was made. May we all have peace ☮️
mexico was one of the richest countries in the late 1800s early 1900s. mexico has had soo many s- h .it leaders in the later years sadly, thats why mexico is poor today. its not poor when it comes to rescourses etc, just bad leaders

It says casas.
And says bonitas when is more than 1.
That was Awesome 😊
Another way of looking at it is the grass always looks greener on the other side but America has its problems too of loneliness suicide poverty etc etc
@@yogurtmonster6925 cartels, local gangs, corruption in government, lack of opportunitys.
@@yogurtmonster6925 if only it were that simple, you should just look into the cartels in Mexico, how they pretty much own the police and their daily living situations. Honestly not all of Mexico is like that though, there are some very nice and cultural places in Mexico
Loneliness??
Yogurt Monster I lived years of my life in both places and I don’t get it either, there’s plenty of opportunities in Mexico and I’ve never had a problem with the police or cartels. I honestly prefer living in Mexico over the US I don’t know why people would want to leave here and go to the US...
@@SICARIO1k what part did you live in? Like everywhere else in the world, there are good and bad places. There was this girl I was talking too and she said that the part of mexico she was in was really nice and safe, theres alot of mom and pop shops (family owned businesses), restaurants, rich culture and people had stable jobs. She said nobody there is trying to flee to America

Why moving to the U.S. automatically means life is better (material life to some extend yes) while making a change and difference in Mexico requires people to stay, not to flee to the U.S., leaving problems potentially being able to turn into opportunities behind and to pursue so-called better life? Why throughout history it is so evident that politics is just not saving us and we are still eyeing it for salvation?
Vistosos de primaberao s
@Angello! R. yes but why don't Americans look who the biggest consumers of these drugs are ? If Mexico are the drug dealers to the U.S. the U.S. are the druggies. Supply and demand is the name of the game. What does it say about America whenever they consume so many drugs ? As far as I'm concern both actions are evil and destructive. The problem via have is Americans are always blaming Mexico for thire drug problem. When dose personal responsibly kick in ? I assure you that if all drugs stop coming in to the U.S. there would be another Country to fill the drug hunger American have . They also make illegal drugs in the USA
The drug trade would dry up as soon as the US stop using them.
Beautiful

Instead of sending forces to the Middle East, why can’t US stabilise these poor nations.
One word answer: Oil?
How do u suppose we help these countries?
Because Israel wants it that way that's why
If you look up history it is said United States caused a lot of problem
Tell their corrupt government that!
They have their own government and an independent country. US is making bussiness in Middle East. without US who will buy M.E oil? US is the large market for oil and Middle east is making money outb of it.

Marie it’s El Paso. I live by the border. No one is really hanging there on the American side. Mexicans live right next to the wall..but not the Americans. I go to Mexico all the time..it’s sad that the government doesn’t take care of their streets and their own ppl trash their own city/town..
Loser Shane Yeah, I go to Mexico all the time too. It’s terrible how their government doesn’t do much to improve living conditions. It’s my dream to move their though.

They should have made it taller and lined it with razor wire and machine guns.
To be precise, save for how the Rio Grande has changed over the years, Texas has NO land border with Old Mexico.
That section of the border fence is located at Sunland Park, New Mexico.
