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 were 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, wont protect the economy of the United States, said Fox.
