The fence translates into a slap in the face to all Latin Americans and is a setback to the rapprochement the U.S. and Mexico have experienced in recent years. This symbolic barrier signifies nothing less than xenophobia and ignorance about the socio-cultural history of the U.S. and its Latin American immigrants. In order to effectively combat undocumented immigration, the U.S. should examine the situation of emigrants within their home countries.
