Children on either side of the US-Mexico border played together despite a fence dividing them — thanks to three pink seesaws erected by a pair of California professors.

The teeter-totters on the outskirts of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez in Mexico are the handiwork of Ronald Rael, an architecture professor at the University of California, Berkley, and Virginia San Fratello, an associate design professor at San José State University, The Guardian reported.

“One of the most incredible experiences of my and @vasfsf’s career bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teetertotter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the borderwall,” Rael wrote in an Instagram post that has garnered more than 52,000 likes.

Lemme know when those “Mommies” plan to start contributing their income to pay for the endless sea of kiddies coming from the other country.

Is this even legal?

Let’s make them into trebuchets to send people back

Always wanted to be reincarnated as a seesaw,
not sure now!

I’ll also add that Ronald Rael should be charged with interfering with the border wall. If I went to some gov park I could just start installing stuff anywhere I like.

It’s so bad we’re outsourcing 1/2 of kid’s playtime to Mexico.

The wall is still there.
Seems harmless.

Who pays when someone gets injured?

Saw a video of a volley ball game played across the border like that. Looked like good fun.

If you put a Mexican on one side and jump hard enough on this side, you can launch them over the wall...
I saw Bugs Bunny do it.

Re: Seems harmless.

These are the same people who want open borders and do not want to accept any responsibility or pay for anything.
