Any barrier designed to keep people from crossing a border, e.g. the one proposed by some conservatives in the US to keep Mexicans out of their country

First erected on the night of Aug. 12-13, 1961, it developed into a system of concrete walls topped with barbed wire and guarded with watchtowers, gun emplacements, and mines. It was opened in the 1989 democratization that swept through eastern Europe and has been largely torn down
