TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — 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 and its crashing waves. The inscription below the towering Cold War relic reads: “May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges.”
