Mexico Sends Note to U.S. Saying Plan to Build Fencing on Common Border Will Damage Relations

MEXICO CITY - Mexico sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. government on Monday saying a plan to build hundreds of miles of fencing on their common border would damage relations.
President-elect Felipe Calderon urged U.S. officials to reconsider the plan, saying one "could stop more migrants with a kilometer of new roads and development (in Mexico) than with a wall."
In the letter to the U.S. State Department, Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said only comprehensive reform could stem the tide of illegal immigrants heading north in search of work.
"The diplomatic note explains that the construction of this barrier will hurt the relations between the two countries and that it is not the solution to strengthen security on the border," the department said.
President Vicente Fox, who leaves office Dec. 1, has spent his six-year term lobbying for a new guest worker program and an amnesty for the millions of Mexicans working illegally in the United States proposals that have been supported by President Bush.
However, U.S. lawmakers, who face midterm elections in November, have shown a greater appetite for border security measures. On Friday the Senate approved a bill authorizing 700 miles of new fencing in border states.

Calderon said Monday that the barrier would not deter migrants from walking across the desert or swimming over the Rio Grande in search of a better life.( Knows that life is crap for poor Mexicans)
"A border that unites two nations allows the free movement of labor but is closed to drugs, guns and criminals," he added. Calderon spoke in Guatemala, where he met with President Oscar Berger on his first international tour since the July presidential election.
On Friday, Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez said he would try to persuade Bush not to sign the bill.
"We think it is a gesture that doesn't reflect the friendship between the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean and the United States," Derbez said.
Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon has also criticized the fence plans.
An estimated 11 million Mexican citizens are in the United States, about half of them illegally.
Last year, Mexican migrants sent home more than $20 billion in remittances, the country's second leading source of foreign income after oil. In the first eight months of 2006, remittances rose by nearly 20 percent over the same period last year, according to figures released by the Mexican Central Bank on Monday.

Because in reality the Mexican government has no way of fixing thier economy. Just broken promises.Originally Posted by Greek soldier
Last time they "told" us not to do something, we took a chunk of their real estate...Mexico Tells U.S. Not To Build Border Fence
Haha Vicente Fox is such a joke.
The Empty Suit has no alternative solution except to export more his nation's indigents across the border.
Mexico can piss and moan all they want...it's not like the US government will ever build this fence anyway. It's a hard decision, which is why they won't go near it.
What is that supposte to mean? That the US should help build Mexico?President-elect Felipe Calderon urged U.S. officials to reconsider the plan, saying one "could stop more migrants with a kilometer of new roads and development (in Mexico) than with a wall."
I think Mexico's problems is that its a country that its trying to be too much like the US. They have to get rid of corruption an focus on getting rid of poverty. Its really hard to do that when you have a system like the one in the US. The US has a good system but for a country like Mexico, it doesn't work.
For example, in the US you have tax payer's money being spend on court charges where some illigal alien sues the police department for not teaching their cops spanish.
Well, I would say to Mexico, we will start listening to you tell us not to build something on our sovergin soil, when you start listening to us about total corruption in Mexican government...mean while... Fcuk OFF!
**** if they need help building the damn thing I'm free weekends!
Would simply shooting everyone trying to illigally cross the border threaten our relationship with Mexico less?

Yeah whatever. As long as it's on our side of the border we can build an alligator-filled flaming trench if we want.
What's with these turd world tin pot dictators these days?
"For example, in the US you have tax payer's money being spend on court charges where some illigal alien sues the police department for not teaching their cops spanish."
Yeah, I'd rather have that all going towards a tactic of demographic control that has historically never worked for long periods of time.
How about holding some businesses accountable for hiring these guys? If I've got a stream of ants trying to eat my sandwitch at a picnic, is it easier to place as many barriers between the ants and the sandwitch as I can, or to simply wrap up the food?
wont that kill the alligators???
Not if you use genetically altered fire proof alligators with a mad hunger for hot Mexican food....wont that kill the alligators???
Yall are a bunch of racist scumbags...
