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.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

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 ?
