CALEXICO, CA - MARCH 14: A border patrol vehicle drags the sand to make any new footprints of border crossers more visible along a recently constructed section of the controversial US-Mexico border fence expansion on previously pristine desert sands on March 14, 2009 between Yuma, Arizona and Calexico, California. A top Homeland Security official told a House panel that the department could ultimately respond to escalating violence of warring Mexican drug cartels by deploying military personnel and equipment to the region. 6,290 people were killed in the violence in Mexico in 2008, according to Mexican officials, and more than 1,000 in the first eight weeks of this year. Hundreds of kidnappings in Phoenix during the same time period were blamed on the drug trade. The new barrier between the US and Mexico stands 15 feet tall and sits on top of the sand so it can lifted by a machine and repositioned whenever the migrating desert dunes begin to bury it. The almost seven miles of floating fence cost about $6 million per mile to build. David McNew/Getty Images/AFP

El presidente de EU, Donald Trump, quiere llenar el mundo de muros
Después de ganar las elecciones, prometiendo un muro para frenar la llegada de “criminales” desde México, y de felicitar a Israel por su muro que segrega a los palestinos de los judíos, ahora pretende que España construya un muro a lo largo del desierto del Sahara.
Así lo confesó ayer el nuevo canciller español, Josep Borrell, tras conversar con el republicano sobre el problema de la inmigración africana que llega a Europa a través del sur del continente.
“Construyan un muro en el Sahara. La frontera no puede ser más grande que la nuestra con México”, le dijo Trump a Borrell, ante el escepticismo de los representantes españoles, que explicaron que sí era mucho más extensa y que, además, ese país europeo no tiene soberanía sobre ningún territorio del gigantesco desierto, que cruza el norte de África de este a oeste.
