미국과 멕시코의 국경장벽 그늘의 삶

Dark rust wall - this is a red fence along the US Mexican border has inspired a variety of unusual architectural structures, 

with the theme of the border in a modest house with a panoramic view of the California forest.

Architect Carlos Torres, who lives in the northern Mexican city of Tijuana, lived in the house in the shadow of the US border 

for three decades, and the fence that the US president Donald Trump promised to expand, begins at the end of his garden.

To see the wall of the metal is not an eyesore, he decided to make it central to the design of his luxury home, 

which he called "the first house in the north-west Mexico."

Specially constructed observation deck provides a panoramic view of the US side, while its garden dotted with border attributes, 

Taqiy as a pointer indicating the beginning of the United States.

"The wall will not stop immigration," - said Carlos Torres from his sight balcony, which also overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

 He said: "I do not know what Donald Trump, but the people continue to cross the fence every week."

Border wall is also dominant in the Garden of Pedro and Carmen Hernandez, but unlike Torres, they do not have the means to

 turn it into a design element. Instead, they use the decking and metal roofing, which hung over their modest home,

 where they are now hang clothes to dry.

"From time to time in the garden climbed the people who are trying to cross the wall" - said Carmen. 

"This area was dangerous for many years. We had a murder and kidnapping. But a man learns to live with it. "

kilometers to the east of the house of Torres, the chef from Guatemala Joaquin made much more simple in the tree house, 

a few meters from the border.

Deported from the United States a few years ago with a small amount of money, Joaquin spread dirty mattress on the tree and spends

 his nights looking through the leaves to the sky.

During the day, he often sees dozens of migrants attempting to enter the United States.

Joaquin makes a living by collecting garbage in Tijuana, which he sells to the local plant for recycling.
