Argentina Criticizes US Border Fence

MEXICO CITY - A U.S. plan to expand fences along the Mexican border to stem illegal immigration is an insult to all Latin Americans, Argentine President Nestor Kirchner said Tuesday during a visit to Mexico.

"It's not just an insult to our sister nation of Mexico, but to all the nations of Latin America and all the nations of the world," the leftist president said to the applause of Mexican lawmakers.

President Bush and Congress have approved plans for a 700-mile fence along the border. The Department of Homeland Security is committed to completing 370 miles by the end of 2008.

Relations between Argentina and the United States began to cool in 2002, when Argentina defaulted on international loans and its economy collapsed. Kirchner, who became president in 2003, he has been credited for rescuing the country from devastating fiscal crisis.

Adding to the often tense relation, Argentina joined other countries in South America that strongly opposed the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

Well Argentina, Americans don't need your opinion about America's Border Fence. You just can't help CHIMING IN AND INTERFERING, CAN YOU?
We need the fence to keep out illegal immigration. It's that simple.

"It's not just an insult to our sister nation of Mexico, but to all the nations of Latin America and all the nations of the world," the leftist president said to the applause of Mexican lawmakers.
