Proof that Border Fence Fosters Cooperation

I recently noted that Vicente Fox believes a border fence built by the U.S. would damage relations between the two countries and cause tension. Joshuah Bearman of LA Weekly seems to have found evidence to the contrary:

We approach the fence. Within seconds Team Mexico is formed, and the match
begins. Beach volleyball is a much different game when played over two-story metal pylons. Strategy and nuance go out the window. There are few sets and certainly no spikes. Mostly, it’s tit-for-tat power bumps that send the ball in 30- and 40- and even 50-foot arcs. Despite the difficulty, the game is fun — and surprisingly uninteresting to the border patrol, who zipped down at the drop of a hat several times earlier but now seem content to observe us with binoculars.
