Lucha, a Columbia service group, has constructed a “Border Wall” to commemorate Immigration Week. Located on Low Plaza, the wall represents the US-Mexico border. Passersby are invited to share their thoughts by writing on the wall.

@Anonymous wow. its pretty sad that in the year 2010 people are still this racist and ignorant. and at an ivy league too. it’s actually disturbing. great job Lucha! most Columbia students only look out for themselves.
@Ike Your mom is racist.
@Anonymous is it wrong to keep thinking that they needed the help of the people they were protecting to set this all up? I mean, really, who’s gonna do the tedious, low-paying job of putting up ALL those flyers?
@Lucha did a great job demonstrating the major flaw with the current wall. Both need to be longer to be effective.
@:| side-eyeing this so fucking much.
really?
@Also.. Im’ll let you finish Lucha, but the “Israeli Apartheid” group had the best fake wall on Low Plaza of all time. OF ALL TIME
@CURFC My first reaction – Israel “Apartheid” Week’s come early this year
@Anonymous can we scale the wall?
@Anonymous I love how Lucha advocates rights for immigrants, but blatantly denied the Minutemen the right to free speech a couple years ago. I hate the Minutemen as much as the next guy, but it’s pretty hypocritical to advocate rights for one group and deny them to another.
@how is.this.servicek? Seems political to me
@Anonymous that’s because lucha isn’t a service group, either. it’s a social justice group.
@Makes sense The administration on the north side of the border constantly sends puppet troops to the other side to crack down on drugs.
@Anonymous Lucha is not a latino group
@Carolyn thanks, we changed it to “Columbia service group.”
@Anonymous I wouldn’t call it a “service group,” either. Try “political/activist group.”
@picture links? is it me or are the links from the pictures not enlarging after being clicked?
@picture links? they actually get smaller upon being clicked…
@Bwog Does being a Latino in the US imply supporting illegal immigration and allowing Mexicans to break laws?
I don’t see the connection.
