When two countries are friendly with one another, there's no wall between them. Think: US-Canada border. Checkpoints, yes. Walls? No.

Scratch that—there are a lot of borders without any checkpoints. There are also borders that are separated by large bodies of water.

Here's a photo of Brasil, Paraguay, Argentina. You can cross into all three and do checkpoints if you want. Or avoid checkpoints altogether.pic.twitter.com/xDzcnSqqgj

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

Thank you for this, @brvnosmars. CC @maybewedoo, who once wasted my time explaining to me that marci isn't anything like trump.
