    Mexico's Fox warns U.S. border fence will fall

    Mexico's Fox warns U.S. border fence will fall
    Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:12 AM GMT

    AGUASCALIENTES, Mexico (Reuters) - President Vicente Fox warned on Tuesday that a proposed high security border fence to keep illegal immigrants out of the United States will fall just like the Berlin Wall.

    The fence, approved by the U.S. House of Representatives last month, has angered many Mexicans and Fox's government is lobbying U.S. Senate leaders to block it while also rallying opposition from other Latin American nations.

    "What is not resolved by intelligent policies and by leaders is resolved by citizens. That is how the Berlin Wall fell and that is how this wall will fall," Fox told Reuters. "I hope it isn't even built because, if it is, it will fall."

    Fox's government has pushed hard for U.S. immigration reform in favour of millions of Mexicans living and working illegally in the United States.

    U.S. President George W. Bush is backing a guest worker programme to match immigrants with jobs for a set time period.

    But the plan faces stiff opposition inside the Republican Party and many of its lawmakers supported the fence proposal as a way of tightening security along the long, porous border. They also voted to make illegal immigration a felony.

    Fox said he was still confident the Senate would knock down the fence proposal and that a guest worker program would be agreed upon this year, but he took another swipe at the "hard liners from the other side" who want tighter border security and no immigration reform.

    "It is truly shameful," said Fox, who has made close ties with Washington and the search for an immigration deal the centrepiece of his foreign policy.

    U.S. treatment of Mexican migrants is already a campaign issue ahead of Mexico's presidential election in July, especially after the recent fatal shootings of two illegal Mexican migrants by U.S. security forces.

    Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the leftist candidate leading opinion polls, said on Tuesday the migration problem could not be resolved "with walls or repressive measures".

    "If there is no growth in the Mexican economy and no jobs, then even if they build walls and maintain hardball threats and severe laws, people will still, because of necessity, try to go and work in the United States," he said.

    Or by the US military being put on the border WHILE the 2000 fence is being constructed.

    Wall will fall

    Sometimes Fox can seem so caring about issues that affect society. If he would put 10% of his compassion toward his country social problems, we wouldn't be having this discussion. This is truly a Godless country that thinks that everybody else is a fool just like Fox is. Maybe he can find a solution to the fact that the mexican government is the toughest drug dealer in the world. We know the facts about what happened in El Paso yesterday between US Law Enforcement and " mexican soldiers ". Mr Fox, make up your mind, Drug Dealer or Social Activist ?

    To any other country, this would be considered an act of war. It's too bad that the gutless gutter rats in Congress turns a blind eye to this hideous rhetoric.

    Maybe if we convince that idiot Bush that Vicente is really Saddam then maybe he'll finally muster up enough guts to do what needs to be done and reign in this scumbag so his damn saber rattling will stop.

    Then maybe you worthless crooks should do something about that. Then there will be no need for the wall. Until then, the wall will be built and will get longer and longer every year.
