Tear Down That Wall! Artists Resist Trump at US-Mexican Border
- Mexican and international musicians performed a concert Saturday in
Tijuana under the banner "Tear Down That Wall" to protest U.S. President
Donald Trump's immigration policies and plans to build a wall along
the 1,933-mile U.S.-Mexico border.
The concert was initially intended to take place on the U.S. side of
the border at Friendship Park, NBC Bay Area reported, but was moved to
the Mexican side after U.S. authorities denied permission for the
event.
The U.S.-Mexican border is fertile ground for artistic protests,
ranging from music to paintings and messages scrawled on the border
fence as forms of resistance against harsh immigration policies and
discrimination against migrants entering the United States.
