ABSTRACT

The article presents the author's reflections on the political planning of the United States government to erect a boundary fence on the Mexican border. It is suggested that such walls are largely symbolic and are not as practically useful as their policies suggest. Questions are also raised regarding the ethics of the initiative itself.
