Vice-President of Guatemala, Rafael Espada, said: “The walls are not the solution to the problems.” Sounds familiar.

I bet Mexico ignores the fact that they frequently kill anyone sneaking into their country

Wonder if Calderon will invite the head of Guatemala to go before whatever they call the mexican legislature and insult the Mexicans
I am thinking not

And, we loaned them the money to build the wall and buy trucks, helicopters, cameras, C2I systems, night gear.

I have been unable to find the reference but there was a news article when W was president that we were loaning Mexico $$$ and arranging for them to purchase copters and the other gear.

I yelped at the time because at the same time Fox and Bush were in agreement that a US-Mexico fence would be ineffective.

*“It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.” *

Cool!

Maybe they could put a wall up along their Northern border to show they are our amigos!

Mexico is nothing but a bunch a racist Hispanic Ku Klux Klan Drugocracy.

They whine when the US is tough on Mexican Illegal Aliens....but its OK for them to build a wall on the Guatemala border.

Secure the Border, Deport all Illegal Aliens, and Abrogate NAFTA. Stop pandering to Mexico
