MEXICO CITY - The Mexican government said Monday that it is drafting a resolution for the United Nations Human Rights Council criticizing U.S. plans to build hundreds of miles of fencing on its southern border.
Mexican Ambassador Luis Alfonso de Alba, who is president of the 47-member council, said the resolution will denounce the fence for violating human rights and driving undocumented migrants to cross the border in more remote and dangerous areas.

The resolution will be presented to the council next week, he said.
The United States is an observer but not a member of the council, which this year replaced the widely discredited U.N. Human Rights Commission.
At the council's first sessions this year, members failed to reach agreement on the most hotly debated issues such as on human rights violations in Sudan.

Last month, the U.S. Senate approved the bill to build 700 miles of border fencing and President Bush has said he will sign it into law – despite pleas from the Mexican government for a veto.

Mexican President Vicente Fox has called the plans "shameful" and compared it to the Berlin Wall.

There are an estimated 11 million Mexicans living in the United States, about half whom don't have the proper documentation.

It'a fence not a wall and personally I wish it was a wall!

This statement right here exposes the government of Mexico for their corruption, disrespect for the American people, their desire to spread their corruption into the U.S., the fact that they are terrible neighbors to the United States, and their general ineptness at governing and their overall extreme irresponsibility.

Is this government Communist or something?

An electrical wall would suit me just fine.

It wont be America's fault if the idiots die trying to jump the fence. At least we can hope that they do it on their side of the fence. I'm tired of paying for their stupidity.

Notice how Mexico seems to think crossing our border illegally is a right and entitlement that should be guaranteed to all Mexican citizens.

To show had bad it's gotten, if you read this link

you'll see that Calderon is complaining that we're going to build a fence on Mexico's northern border, not our southern one.

This is utterly amazing!

The audacity of Mexico to use the 'human rights' issue. Take care of your own people so they don't need to head north. Someone needs to give them a good reality check on what human rights are within their own country.

Mexico just wants the status quo: Send their people here to continue to send money 'home.' It is not the U. S.'s responsibility to take care of their people while they send money home to Mexico. Take care of your own Mexico! Quit making us the scapegoat for your own incompetency.

The party is over. The status quo is going to change, it has to change.

Fences are okay, but Israeli-Palestinian type border walls are better. However, what we really need besides a leader with guts and a backbone is a comprehensive militarized zone existing between the US and Mexico and even Canada because of its crazy liberal asylum policies. Within that zone, which should extend at least 10 miles in width all along the borders between the US, Mexico, and Canada, I would suggest placing US military training bases, armed troops, and weaponry sufficient to thwart any threat from illegal alien intruders to terrorist infiltrators armed with WMDs.

In 2006 and after the greatest terrorist attack on American soil to date, I don't see why we can't have a similar arrangement in place already. Since we have tens of thousands of US armed military personnel stationed around the world to protect and defend the borders of foreign countries with our taxes and their lives, it is suicidally insane and preposterous that we do not have them here doing it for us.

Furthermore, since Mexico runs its own borders with an iron hand and doesn't allow illegals to pour into their country through brutal practices and punitive laws, we should have no qualms in doing whatever is necessary to stop their illegal trash from flooding into America at will. All we need to do besides erecting physical barriers to illegal aliens is to adopt Mexico's own immigration/border policies and impose them right back on them.

I wish someone in power would tell fox what an idiot he is for putting the results of his shortcomings as leader in someone else's lap.
