– Fading Memories: The Symbolic Significance of Wall Construction on Nungaray Familys Grief
Emotions ran high last week on the Nungaray’s ancestral land as construction began on the new border wall, a project that comes nearly three years after their daughter Jocelyn was fatally shot along the banks of the Rio Grande. Their grief, still raw and tender, manifested in the symbolic gesture of a wooden effigy that marked the site of Jocelyn’s death, a beacon of remembrance in the face of ongoing loss. Already, it faces obliteration as the wall’s imposing shadow looms closer, serving as a stark testament to the potential erasure of their collective memory and connection to the land.
As bulldozers rumbled and the clamor of construction filled the air, one couldn’t help but recall the Nungaray’s plea for reconciliation amidst tragedy, urging dialogue to address the underlying issues that have led to the senseless violence and separation. Yet, their plea seems to have fallen on deaf ears as the wall continues to take shape, its unyielding concrete symbolizing a future where division and isolation reign supreme.

The construction of new border walls has been a contentious issue in the United States, with proponents arguing that they are necessary to prevent illegal immigration and drug trafficking, while opponents contend that they are ineffective and wasteful. The Trump administration made border wall construction a central plank of its immigration policy, but its efforts were hampered by legal challenges and funding issues.
