Locals are using the US-Mexico border fence as a giant volleyball net
The frontier between the United States and Mexico is the busiest land border in the world. It is also among one of the world’s most heavily regulated and policed border zones—the arid climate of which is responsible for many migrant deaths each year.
But it’s also an area that occasionally lends itself to more cheerful pursuits—something you won’t hear about from a number of far-right US politicians, who prefer to frame the US-Mexico border as something like a war zone.
I've actually seen this. Great fun, people cooking out, trading food and beer, kids playing. Border Patrol agents also join in.
