The Mexican government placed a piece of the Berlin Wall just a stone’s throw from the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana, sending a clear message to border-security advocates in the U.S.
Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and former Mexican foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard installed the shard of the Soviet wall during a ceremony last month. A plaque near its base, written by Caballero, reads, “May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges.”
