MEXICO CITY (AP) -- European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Tuesday criticized U.S. plans to extend barriers along its border with Mexico, saying immigrants should not be treated like criminals.

"A wall that separates one country from another is not something that I like or that the European Union members like," Solana said at a news conference in Mexico City. "We don't think walls are reasonable instruments to stop people from crossing into a country."

The EU believes immigrants should be treated "like people, not like criminals," he said.

In October, President Bush signed a bill calling for 680 miles of new fencing to be built along the border, despite objections from the Mexican government.

Mexico has lobbied for comprehensive immigration reform that would let more migrants enter the United States legally.

More than 11 million Mexicans live in the United States, most illegally

Let the EU have them then!

They can't stand being alone in their misery, They want the American continent to follow in their foot steps to hell.

Please stay out of our business Solana I think you have enough to worry about with your EU. We are still a free country and able to make our own choices.
