''For the John Sladek short story, see The Great Wall of Mexico (short story).'' The Tortilla Wall is a term given to a 14-mile (22.5 kilometer) section of United States border fence between the Otay Mesa Border Crossing in San Diego, California and the Pacific Ocean. This "San Diego wall" was completed in the early 1990s. While there are other walls at various points along the border, the Tortilla Wall is the longest to date. No other wall sections have evolved distinct names, so ''The Tortilla Wall'' is often used to describe the entire set of walled defensive structures. The Tortilla Wall is marked with graffiti, crosses, photos and remembrances of migrants who died trying to illegally enter the United States. ==Effectiveness== The effectiveness of the wall has been significant according to U.S. Congressional (testimony )
The building of the tortilla wall is generally considered by Mexicans to be an unfriendly gesture.〔 It is a symbol of the controversial immigration issue. It is argued that the wall simply forces illegal border crossings to be moved to the more dangerous area of the Arizona desert.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tortilla Wall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
