In many ways, the border that separates the US from Mexico is reminiscent of a war zone.

A heavy fence stands as a symbolic divider between Americans and their southern neighbors, but that doesn’t stop people from both sides from having a little fun with one another. Check out this video of a playful yet powerful game of illegal volleyball played over the US-Mexico border.
