Does Mexico have a wall on its southern border?

Mexico does not have a comprehensive wall along its southern border with Guatemala. However, there are some fencing and barriers, particularly as part of the Programa Frontera Sur (Southern Border Program), which was implemented in 2014. This program focuses more on interior enforcement through checkpoints and patrols by various agencies, including the National Institute of Migration, military police, and the Mexican Army, rather than a physical wall13.

In 2019, there were reports of a limited "wall" or barrier along about six kilometers (four miles) of riverfront, primarily as part of the National Guard's deployment to enforce migration policies3. However, this is not a continuous wall along the entire border. The emphasis is on controlling migration flows through enforcement rather than physical barriers.
