Deconstructing the Wall: Teaching About the Symbolism, Politics and Reality of the U.S.-Mexico Border

They learn about what’s in place already along the United States-Mexico border, they find out what life in the borderlands is like, they learn more about border security and they consider walls as symbols. According to this 2014 data from the Mexican government, the total population that lives in cities and counties along both sides of the United States-Mexico border is 14 million people and an estimated one million people legally cross the border every day. There may be no more powerful symbol of how fixedly Americans associate illegal immigration with Mexico than the wall President Trump has proposed building along the southern border. Walls and fences. The Berlin Wall may have been torn down long ago, but many people in Germany still feel divided; the wall is intact in their minds. But that doesn’t matter either, because for Democrats, any structure that the president could claim victory over would be a defeat.” Answer these questions: 1. Do you agree that the border wall has become a political symbol for both the president’s supporters and opponents? As of Jan. 3, parts of the United States government were closed because the president and Congress could not agree on the president’s demand for $5 billion in funding to begin construction of a border wall. Choose one of these eight prototypes and explain what you think it symbolizes from two points of view: first, for the president and his supporters, and second, for the president’s political opponents. The history of walls — to keep people out or in — is also the history of people managing to get around, over and under them.
