A protest was held near the U.S.-Mexico border Monday in response to the scheduled construction of 30-foot border walls that demonstrators claim will ruin Friendship Park.

The detail that the new walls would be 30 feet rather than replacing the existing 18-foot fencing is striking, since it suggests the change is about more than maintenance. If the goal is genuine border security, I wonder whether officials have explained why the added height is necessary at this specific location, given how it affects the park's role as a shared gathering space. Has any public justification addressed that tradeoff directly?
