The Washington Post has a report on the impact of the newly constructed border fence between the United States and Mexico.

From the Washington Post:

For years, Mexican American families have flocked to this beachside park to see, touch, hear and feed loved ones through the modest openings of the fence.

But the days of such reunions are numbered. Starting this month, construction of a more fortified barrier along the southern edge of the park and the three miles to the east will begin as part of the federal government’s crackdown on drug and document smuggling, illegal crossings and violence in the surrounding area.
