A park near the border has become the latest flashpoint in the illegal immigration debate.

Friendship Park is a gathering area where families with member in the United States and in Mexico meet and share quality time.

For many of these families, it is the only opportunity for them to get together.

However, plans are in place to construct a border fence that runs right through the park.

Families said the fence would destroy their gathering place, but border protection proponents are explaining why the fence is necessary.
