The Wall (U.S.-Mexico border)

The U.S.-Mexico border wall is a physical barrier constructed along parts of the border to control migration, drug trafficking, and illegal crossings. Its purpose is to enhance national security and manage border enforcement effectively. The wall is made of various materials, including concrete and steel, and its length and placement vary depending on geographic and political factors. While it aims to deter illegal activities, critics argue it impacts communities, ecosystems, and immigration policies. The wall is a symbol of broader debates over immigration, security, and U.S.-Mexico relations.
