Border Fence: San Francisco and u.s .,

border fence: More than 100 schoolchildren cheered, and Mexico's top immigration official in the region applauded them at a public celebration of the 10-kilometre 6.2-mile swim from Imperial Beach, California, according to Metro News. Organizer Kim Chambers of New Zealand, who is living in San Francisco as a legal permanent resident of the U.S., was overwhelmed by the jubilant reception. Swimmers from the United States, Mexico, Israel, New Zealand and South Africa were escorted by a Mexican Navy ship as they reached a beach in Tijuana, a short distance from a border fence that juts into the Pacific Ocean. At the end of the day, water connects all of us, she said. Chambers, 39, came up with the idea shortly after a group swim across the Red Sea from Jordan to Israel to raise environmental awareness. It doesn't matter which way you're going. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
