Mexican President Calls Border Fence "Disgraceful and Shameful" (an oldie but a goodie)

As the House of Representatives passed legislation, H.R. 4437, that among other provisions calls for an additional 700 miles of security fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, Mexican President Vicente Fox increased the shrillness of his rhetoric in opposition to U.S. efforts to enforce the border.

Reacting to the proposed extension of the security barrier, in a December 14 statement, Fox lashed out at U.S. efforts to protect its southern border. “This situation we’re seeing, a disgraceful and shameful moment where walls are being built, security systems are being reinforced, and human and labor rights are being violated more and more, won’t protect the economy of the United States,” said Fox.

PING!

I'm sure the Bush Administration would have something to say about the latest Vicente Fox outrage, but they're probably too busy playing "dhimmi nation" to muslims outraged over those Danish muhammad cartoons.

Like my Granddad taught me, "Good fences make good neighbors."
I want lots of legal immigration (numbers to be determined by the Labor department) and NO illegal immigration.
When Great-Grandpa Keidel came here from Germany, he came to the front door (Ellis Island) knocked politely and waited to be invited in. The same went for my English, Irish, Welsh, French, Dutch and Scots ancestors.
They didn't crawl over the back fence.

"There has to be an integrated reform that includes a temporary worker program, but also the regularization of those people who are already living in receptor countries"

No, there doesn't.

Mexico and the six Central American countries can go pound sand. We are able to enact our own laws without their help.

Seems that since they like closing *their own* southern border so much, we ought to offer free passage for anyone who wants to try entering via their northern one.

How laws are made

"Okay, you obviously weren't listening the first time. One more time from the top. I am a bill, I am only a bill and I'm stuck up here on Capital Hill....."
