Residents of Laredo, Texas, and other towns at the U.S.-Mexico border along the Rio Grande, get left by the wayside in state and national policy.
A federal judge has ordered Texas to move a large floating barrier to the bank of the Rio Grande by Sept. 15.Frank Rotnofsky, one of the architects involved with the project, envisions this park as being akin to San Antonio’s popular River Walk, with the broader goal of regenerating the Rio Grande and creating more recreation spaces in the downtown area.
From a democratic and pragmatic standpoint, no border policy can work unless it incorporates local interests and allegiances. Disagreement over particular strategies will arise, but without dialogue and local participation, the border will continue to be mistreated as an abstraction — a wedge issue between political foes — instead of the hub of communities it really is.
