A fence isn't going to solve the immigration problem from Central America.

mexican cops are thieves with badges.
curious that we don't have more comments on your post....as it is the proclivity of the US press to give the impression otherwise, one would never know that the opposite border of mexico sees illegals cross over also from central america.....ans look a the behavior of mexical officials when they catch those 'immigrants'.....

Mexico has it right here. They don't coddle Illegal Alien criminals.
