And now for the "hypocrisy" category:

http://www.mexiconews.com.mx/21156.html

The Mexican government said Monday it will present the U.N. Human Rights Council with a resolution criticizing a U.S. plan to build hundreds of kilometers (miles) of additional fencing on the border. Mexican Ambassador Luis Alfonso de Alba, president of the 47-member council, said the resolution will denounce the fence for violating human rights and driving undocumented migrants to cross the border in more remote and dangerous areas. The United States is an observer but not a member of the council, which this year replaced the widely discredited U.N. Human Rights Commission. At the council´s first sessions this year, members failed to reach agreement on the most hotly debated issues, such as on human rights violations in Sudan. Last month, the U.S. Senate approved a bill to build 1,100 kilometers (700 miles) of border fencing. U.S. President George W. Bush has said he will sign it into law, despite pleas from the Mexican government for a veto. President Vicente Fox has called the plan "shameful" and compared it to the Berlin Wall. An estimated 11 million Mexicans live in the United States, about half them illegally.

Why don't WE file a complaint with the UN over Mexico's flagrantly anti-gringo immigration laws that lead to the poverty there of which they hypocritically complain? Their laws are detailed here:

what a lynch mob in the media. What happened to 'due process', 'innocent until proven guilty in a court of law', or constitutional rights?
Calling Judicial Watch....
