TL;DR Summary

A remnant of the Berlin Wall has been installed near the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana as a symbol of unity and a call to build bridges instead of walls. The installation, titled "A World Without Walls," was unveiled by Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and former Mexican foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard. The Berlin Wall relic serves as a reminder of the personal and political impact of the U.S. border wall on the residents of Tijuana, many of whom have experienced migration themselves. Despite President Joe Biden's executive order to halt wall construction, small projects are still being carried out, including the replacement of a two-layered wall in San Diego. The Berlin Wall installation has received positive feedback from visitors, drawing parallels between the walls that divide nations and lives.
