Many in Mexico see the wall as an insult to their country.

What that means is U-S taxpayers will have to pay more to build it.

A Cameron County commissioner tells us that DHS says that Cemex, the Mexican based cement producers are not participating in the building of this wall which will go between the US and Mexico.

The border wall is being built and cement trucks are bringing in their product along some parts of the border.

Cameron County commissioner John Wood says he has been told by The Department of Homeland Security that Cemex is not helping out.

"Cemex is a company owned by people Mexico in Monterrey. I think they along with lots us think this whole border wall issue is an affront to Mexican nationals to our friends and neighbors and they are a big enough company where they can refuse to provide whomever they want to."

Cemex supplies raw materials to make the concrete.

Now, DHS has to find other means to put up the wall and it's costing more especially here in the Valley.

Woods says the two contracts awarded for a wall here in Cameron county will cost much more than they expected, and in Hidalgo the same.

"the original estimates were looking at 113 million over there, its up to 160 million in Hidalgo county."

In total DHS has put in an additional 400 million dollars in their budget to build this controversial border

Cemex is owned by a Mexican citizen and the company has many locations in the U.S., they have said before they would not provide the concrete for the fence....

Fine, make damn sure they get no more Government contracts EVER again.

I admire the Mexican owner, he is placing his love of country before profits, I just wish our American based company's did the same.

Everything that goes under my Christmas tree this year will say "Made in the USA. Plenty of time to shop early and hunt for American made stuff.

He'll profit plenty when his country conquers this one.

We don't care if you are insulted. Especially since you don't care that we are insulted by the presence of Mexican illegal alien in the USA.

George W. Bush has made his lust for the Latino vote clear. "If you say a million, I want you to spend two million. If you say you need four million, I want you to spend eight," W told Lionel Sosa, head of the Bush Latino media campaigns.

What is not clear is who Bush will be willing to consort with to earn that vote. And, if he wins the presidency, what is the true nature of the special relationship he will forge between our two nations, the US and Mexico, in the coming years?

Why in God's name would we want to buy anything from Mexico??? Why does this company have any locations in the US? Shut them down and send them packing.
