Feb 21 - Attempt at Bi-national Communion San Diego/Tijuana Border Friendship Park

A bi-national choir was prohibited from coming together at the Border Fence on the beach and share communion. Border Patrol refused to let us get closer than about 100 ft from the fence on the US side so we sang from a distance. John Fanestil served communion and then stated that communion wasn't complete so we attempted to move forward to the fence to be with the people waiting for communion only 100 ft away on the Mexican side, but were physically stopped by Border Patrol while our friends looked on from the Mexican side from the beach and the bi-national garden that we also were prohibited from reaching. Border Patrol carried tear gas guns and rubber bullet guns and presented an unusual show of force.

Borders keep out the bad people who cause criminal behavior in our society. If mexicans weren't so violent with their gangs, murders, rapes, drug cartels, smugglings, and so on we wouldnt need borders. Too many of them have ruin the open border privilages.

where is berlin wall?

[somement]

@trumpetmariachi75,

The wall in Germany divided a civilized nation. The US/Mexico Border separates a drug and violence infested 3rd world shit hole from what still is a civilized nation. Though far from perfect, it is like a leaking dam that filters out 90% of all the negative shit that Mexico has to offer. If you want a positive change, start in Mexico since that is where the root of the problem is.

Because drug dealers passed drugs through there that means they cannot allow these people to get together? That is stupid, if you say you are a catholic, then behave like christ, he said become like me, what would he do? would he say you mexican guys stay there, you guys here don't go further, that is not Godlike at wll. Peace!!!
