Mexican President Criticizes U.S. Border Wall
Now don’t get me wrong. I have no problem with Legal immigration. I have many Hispanic and Mexican friends. These people are high-class individuals who did it right by coming into the country legally.
But people have understand two points. One is that illegal immigration, aside from being illegal (that means against the law), it is costing billions of dollars to support them, with health care and other tax dollar funded assistance. The other point is that as long as we have porous boarders, national security is a joke. Terrorist can come and go with impunity.
But our "friendly" Mexican President sees a security wall as a problem. You see, he likes the fact that his people can come up here and make lots of money to send back to his country. That way he can stay corrupt and not have to actually address the joblessness and poverty in his country.
MONTERREY, Mexico — Mexico's president on Wednesday criticized the U.S. decision to complete a wall along the border and use drones to increase security, calling it "disgraceful and shameful."
On Monday, a U.S. judge lifted the final legal obstacle for the completion of a border fence along the Mexico-California border. Plans call for two additional fences running parallel to the existing steel barrier, with sensors and cameras tracking any movement.
The fences will run along the final 3 1/2 miles of the border before it meets the Pacific.
"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," President Vicente Fox said.
"It would be hard to know what would happen to the economy of the United States if it wasn't for the enormous contribution, the productivity, the quality of work of our countrymen in that country," Fox added.
Last month, President Bush said he was providing border agents with cutting-edge technology like surveillance drones and infrared cameras. In October, Bush signed a $32 billion homeland security bill for 2006 that included 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents.
The only problem I see with the wall is that it's approximately 1,995 miles too short.
