Massive art installation on Mexico side of U.S. border depicts child peering over the border fence



A French guerrilla artist unveiled Thursday a massive installation at the U.S.-Mexico border that depicts a child peering over the border fence.

The Parisian artist known by the pseudonym "JR" — and sometimes called the “French Banksy” — tweeted a video and an image of his work in progress, a roughly 30-foot-tall photo mounted on scaffolding on the Mexican side of the fence, as first reported by Mashable.

Might be appropriate but it would have to be a pretty tall statue.

....a poster above suggests, there should be all kinds of images and wild things every few feet, mocking racism and racists.
