Mexico's reaction to the United States' taking action to defend it's non-existent border . .
(weakly and for eyewash purposes only to calm the masses)
==================================
Mexico has reacted furiously to a bill signed into law by the US this week that would fund a border wall and prevent illegal Mexican migrants from obtaining US driving licences.
President Vicente Fox said he would lodge a diplomatic complaint, and was considering complaints to multilateral bodies if Mexico could not unable to resolve the problem bilaterally.
In the US, leaders of the Mexican community threatened to strike to send a message to US employers that they could not survive without cheap Mexican labour.

Mexico Is Hopping Mad
"In the US, leaders of the Mexican community threatened to strike to send a message to US employers that they could not survive without cheap Mexican labour."
"Santiago Creel, Mexico's interior secretary, said the Real ID law was negative, inconvenient, and obstructionist."
"Building walls doesn't help anyone build a good neighbourhood, he said. Taking away the possibility of obtaining driving licences for people who are working in legal jobs, who pay their taxes there, who send remittances home here, seems to us to be an extreme measure, particularly given the new understanding that we thought we had after the re-election of President Bush. "
I wonder if these dopes realize that America is a sovereign nation, with laws. Moreover, I wonder, in exchange for all of this goodness Mexico would cede Baja California over to the U.S. for payment for all of our kindness. I know, I know, don't hold your breath. The hand is out to take, while the other hand is empty to give!!!
