As a candidate during the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump promised to build a wall between the US and Mexico to combat illegal immigration. His speech immediately sparked a sharp reaction and debate, with his supporters cheering him on, and his opponents labelling him a ‘racist’. The fierce debate has thrown a spotlight on America’s southern border, which separates not only two countries, but families as well. Near ‘The Wall’, you’ll meet a number of people that have found themselves on opposite sides of this divide, both geographically and ideologically. ‘The Wall’ has come to symbolize the widening political and ideological divide within the US and the plight of those affected by harsh immigration policies.
