Border wall becomes part of outdoor church during weekly services

For 10 years, people on either side of the border have hiked to a spot in California’s Border Field State Park for prayers and church services, reports Salvador Rivera of Border Report. Ideally, they would like to be at another section of the border, Friendship Park, but it remains closed. “We’ve begged Border Patrol to please open Friendship Park and they deny it …” said Alexis De Bram, a supporter of the park. “Over decades, people come here to connect with friends, relatives … Then the wall started going up and we were limited to Saturdays and Sundays four hours a day, but now there’s no way for people coming from anywhere to join their loved ones.”
