So love this. X

This is a clever disguise for a catapult to fire border jumpers over the wall. Shut it down.

There are plenty of playgrounds across America in need of repair. Perhaps we could have put some seesaws for the citizens and LEGAL immigrants of the United States first.

Joe Biden an illegals best friend.

🔝🔝🔝

🤡nn

Such conflicting emotions seeing these pictures. On one side that border stands for hatred and fear and then you see these pink vibrant seesaws that just makes you smile for some reason

Wow😯😯😯 That's amazing

DON'T BELIEVE the NEGATIVE BITCOIN news that has been coming out! 🙉🙈 The Biden administration looks to be BITCOIN FRIENDLY in the stock exchange. Huge investment companies are manipulating the news to keep the prices low till they can invest; ie Guggenheim, Blackrock, Valkyrie!

The other side 🤗

That’s so sad!😢

We need more borders not less.

I love ya CNN, but stop tweeting the same shit, over and over again.

ImmoralishMe

❤️

Love it.

You have to have one person from each side or it doesn’t work. Tremendous and simple lesson.

Jajjajaj jajjaja

No seesaw! Stay in Mexico!!

Illegal immigrants intend to overrun America's borders again. The American government and taxpayers owe them nothing and if biden let them into America during high unemployment among Americans and the pandemic he will not get my vote when he run for president again

They just keep that section.. knock down the rest

It makes your ❤ smile. Kids don't know anything except loving others regardless of status, color, etc. They just want to interact with kids and have fun.

What a great symbol of how the people of both countries are being fucked.

Lol. That funny inventive n cute.

Why do people keep calling this a “wall”? It’s a fence. Love the seesaw installation, art is so good at showing the truth of human connection❤️

But it can only work if there are children on the American side of the wall. So what’s up with this? How can this win any type of award? Does a member of ICE sit on one side and three children on the other side to balance?

Definitely thought this was an onion article

How many times are you going to tweet this? Retweeting and tweeting old news.

Well, at least the wall works well for something, since without a monitored, restricted access zone on both sides, it's not going to stop border crossings. But border scientists knew that before the project started, if only someone had thought to ask.

We don’t need no fortification We don’t need no border control Trump sarcasm now has no room Leechers leave them kids alone Hey! leechers! leave them kids alone All in all you’re just another wrought in the wall With apologies to rogerwaters pinkfloyd😊

It's a shame the kids can't play together instead of being separated by a wall😔

YEP !!! Let the kids UNITE you all !!!!!!

AnnetteHadfield

Wtf

Leave it as a failed symbol of the last administration, giant decay’d teeth in the desert.

If we spent on Art what we do on defense we might be better off. diplomacy is often about diverting disaster(defense)Where there is peace, there is prosperity. Art can better accomplish what military can’t through provoking thought change. An(offense)approach to providing peace

Anyone else marveling at the border wall Trump built? I mean, I'm really just asking the two people that live near the 50 feet of wall that was built.

Reminds me of the poignant scene from the movie 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' - the two kids sitting & chatting across the barbed wire.

POTUS this tells, you didn’t succeed 45th 🐷

Please do NOT give any coverage to Trump on Inauguration Day! None! He doesn’t deserve any time. It can wait. 😻

wow.. what a pic

Imagine taking your kid to the park and you go to the border to swing with some American

Please ask experts from the World Health Organization to find the source of the virus at the Fort Detrick Biochemical Weapons Base, and everything will come to light.fortdetrick

This is so stupid

The effort to dumb down American children now is spreading to Mexican children. Give them math books and reading material. Something meaningful. Something that will actually help them.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! presidentbiden vicepresidentharris

Dear daughter just asked me 'Can you catapult someone to the other side?' 🤣🤣 Ok wait.... which side?

Walls around the capital? I thought hysterical hypocritical liberals said walls don’t work?

TalesOfStrength Wow, this is great!

Bring down that Wall of Shame

Hoping Biden will tear the wall down but leave the seesaws.

I think the message is getting lost in all the bs....it was designed to created something happy, something innocent and beautiful out of something so ugly, hateful and divisive.

Disgusting actually ... SMH .. bullshit is always getting praised

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP

As long as Mexico paid for it, like it did the wall.

That’s just sad.

America should now ease the burden on Europe and accept all it's refugees seeking asylum there. Los Angeles has plenty of room.

This has to be a joke ...

Brilliant!!!

I’m traumatized ... Reminds me of the movie .. Boy in the striped pajamas !! It’s too sad !!

Hope for our futures!! :))

Nice

It doubles as a catapult to launch people over the wall.

I love this!

Life perseveres

Yeah now you can spread covid to other countries

Wow , this is so good . Humanity in action 👌

La nguoi song noi tam, Ngoai hinh de nhin, song chan thanh ,

Really trying to sell that horrible wall

I will rather climb the fence

I heard there was also a slurp ramp and DVDA friendly glory holes a little further down the wall

That space is big enough to pass drugs arms and money, if you know what I mean
