A work of art featuring a 20-meter tall image of a Mexican boy on the US-Mexico border has been installed by a French artist. It comes just days after US President Donald Trump ordered an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation.
DON WEST, AMERICAN LIVING IN MEXICO "If it will have some impact on slowing the wall down or eliminating that thinking, I am all for it. @@JR, FRENCH ARTIST "When we started months ago preparing the piece, we didn't know that it'd come at a moment when we connect also with DACA."
