Mexican experts dismiss U.S. border wall as "racist"

Dec 26, 2006

The U.S. decision to build a wall on the border with Mexico has aroused strong sentiment in its southern neighbor, where the academic circle is dismissing it as racist.

"Behind this wall is the pretension of a government that is ready to ignore all sense and to offend one of its most important partners in the region," said a leading critic of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) on Monday.

Edumdo Hernandez Vela of the International Relations Department of the UNAM said that Mexico is the biggest labor supplier of the United States, and that foreign workers are a fundamental pillar of the U.S. economy.

Mexico's neighbor knows well that no barrier will completely end immigration, he said, adding that those who are keen to cross the border into the United States will surely find ways to go around any obstacle.

There are some 10 million Mexican citizens living in the United States, of whom many arrived there illegally. A large number of the illegal immigrants now have papers that allow them to work.

An estimated 500,000 Mexicans brave death and deportation each year to cross the Mexico-U.S. border. At least one of them dies each day of thirst, hunger or for other reasons in the job-seeking adventure, reports say.

Now it's 10 million illegals. My, how the number changes. So far 12 million is the lowest I've heard of. And obviously we're to be greatful for their contribution to our labor force? Why doesn't that country try to make jobs for their own citizens instead of depending upon us? Amazing!

Yes 10,000,000? I think we all know it is a lot higher than that, but we would expect Mexico to minimize the figure being such a corruption cesspool. As for them finding away around a fence if built, well build the fence (wall) as it should be built and arm it to the hilt with National Guard or Citizen Militia trained by the U.S. Army and other electronics, and whatever it takes to seal this border from these criminal invaders. It may be controversial but maybe it is way past time the U.S. flexed it's military power against Mexico if it continues to support the invasion of America, after all many of these criminals are now armed here and killing and raping our people. If we can do so in Iraq, we are surely more vulnerable on our border with Mexico, and they know terrorists have already tried to cross there, and who knows how many have made it through already? This invasion is not going to end until America gets tough, and if that even means using the Military then lets get to it?
