Mexico City (AHN) - Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon believes that a new U.S.-Mexico border fence deal that aims to keep illegal immigrants out of the United States will "enormously complicate" relations between the two neighbors.

In a move against illegal immigration, President Bush has inked a new deal last week that aims at constructing hundreds of miles of new fences along the border.

The Republicans plan to settle the issue of illegal immigration before the November elections. It has been one of the more polarizing issues dominating the congressional elections.

Reuters reports that Calderon, who assumes power from President Vicente Fox's on December 1 said, "It is going to be a very difficult relationship. This fence they are leaving me is going to enormously complicate relations with the United States."
