Mexico does a lot of awful things to non-mexican migrants. But it doesn't have a wall on its southern border.

Sometimes there's like an irritating property owner that hates people from the country next door. They'll put up an annoying symbolic fence.

But the norm is that there are no walls. The rest of the Americas looks at the US like this when it considers immigration and the wall:pic.twitter.com/hOFaqQwWZP

Not to say there isn't smuggling on certain borders. Not to say there isn't violence. Those are individuals. The *countries* are friends.

This perspective from the Americas, including Mexico, is pretty much lost when people from here write about the wall. But it's important.
-
People in Mexico consider the wall an attack on its sovereignty, a symbol of disrespect, and an act of aggression.

The US went an put a border on the ocean itself *lolsob* do you have any idea how the rest of the world looks at thispic.twitter.com/N8WLx4xnCY

the Haiti/Dominican border, and the DR's immigration policy towards Haitians is probably the most contentious in the Americas.

probably not best to mention that one, lest the Trump supporters feel the need to be even more draconian
