There's no wall between these countries. You can cross over on a raft and absolutely no one is going to care. People do it all the day long.
You can cross over a bridge on a bus. You know you're in a new country when the colors on the bridge change to reflect the flag.
If you go on a bus, you may want to stop at the checkpoint, but it's a technicality. There may be reasons you want to check in. Or not.
This isn't only true for Brasil/Paraguay/Argentina, it's true for most of the Americas: no walls. (Except one glaring exception.)
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
