It's hard to underestimate the ill-feeling the proposal has generated in Mexico

It's too bad Victor couldn't also get out and get a feel for how Americans feel about Mexico making demands and threats against the US.

That'll be a trick. I've never seen anyone dance while on their knees.

Since Mexico is for this invasion of the United States it is an act of war which should be reponded to in kind.

We annexed Puerto Rico, which was pointless. Why do we not just declare manifest destiny and assume control of Mexico? If they do not wish to act as a sovereign state, why not let us flush their corrupt system?

Perhaps they will block our wall with a wall of their own?

This is all too funny.

It's equally hard to underestimate the intelligence of this article's writer.

Shoot, let's just halt all foreign aid until they get serious about keeping their population at home. (we do give them foreign aid, don't we?)I am SO tired of them meddling in our politics.

After spending several years starting oil exploration crews for Pemex, I think I have The reason Mexico has become so bad.

I like the Mexican people in the fly over parts of Mexico. The mid level and workers of Pemex are good. It is the government and the high up in Pemex that are the vultures and looters. The peso was about 8 cents (12.5 to a dollar). When Pemex found the sito grande, a very large oil pool that covers parts of the states of Chiapas and Tabasco also a long ways into the Gulf of Mexico.

Pemex borrowed billions to produce this great oil find. The looters (government) stole most of the money and what they did buy was junk oil rigs and drill pipe, etc. 1,000 pesos which was worth about $80 now will not buy a coke. This was due to the looters stealing billions from the Mexican people.

Instead of overthrowing the looters the Mexican people had an out, they had no weapons and they could cross into America and have a much safer life. This hurts both Mexico and America as Mexico lost some of it's hardest workers. The gangbangers also came over from Mexico as they could rape and pillage at will.

The government of Mexico is propped up by the billions sent back by the illegals and by our government having borders that are too open.

The only chance I see to help America and Mexico is to seal the border, deport the people who are not here legaly. We also need to arm the Mexican people so they can have a chance against the looters with their armies.

"Our president should oppose that wall and make them stop it, at all costs," said Martin Vazquez, 26, at the Mexico City airport as he returned from his job as a hotel worker in Las Vegas. "More than just insulting, it's terrible."


Yes, send your army of viscously trained attack- Chihuahuas! That's just more meat for Taco Bell.

Now that is a funny, funny thought. Good stuff.

Trying to picture it.

Heaven forbid we act as a sovereign nation by protecting our borders.

Well, there is the little problem of Condi and others criticizing Israel for doing the very same. Our hypocrisy is going to come home to roost.

Mexico City built a wall to keep the US Army out. It didn't work !

Captain Robert E Lee, Lieutenant Ulysses Grant and many others who would fight against each other 15 years in the Civil War were all on the same side for the Mexican War, part of Manifest Destiny.

Here's an article on it but there are many books on the subject that are far more in depth. It's a Great Story

Robledo, whose son and mother are U.S. citizens, predicted the measure "would unleash conflict within the United States"

The United States has ways to deal with insurrection and terrorists.

"Our president should oppose that wall and make them stop it, at all costs,"

If he does, it'll be the first time Bush has found a pen that'll write "VETO". Or is he speaking of Fox?

They don't think that part of the United States belongs to the US of A.

"We learned to believe in the United States. We have a binational life," he said of Zacatecas, a state that has been sending migrants north for more than a century. "It isn't just a feeling of rejection. It's against what we see as part of our life, our culture, our territory."

*PING*!

Wow, so Aztlan is NOT just a "MexiCali" creation...these PARASITES think America is THEIRS!

Build it now...build it proud...build it high...build it long...keep ILLEGALS OUT!

And if Mexico wants to push the issue...what is the Mexican word for "Arclight"?

What about spending this money to improve the standard of living in Mexico! Problem, as I see it, is Fox thinks this is their country and we are intruders and illegally keeping the true citizens out.
