Thread: Chile calls our border fence "racist"

Chilean Senators Jaime Naranjo and Pedro Munoz authored the resolution on December. They said the wall is a racist policy that goes against various international human rights treaties.

What about all the other countries that have fences along their borders?

Didn't you know??? Only America can't enforce it's immigration law. Every other country in the world is entitled to do so. For some reason ($$$) many other countries (latin america) find it racist and offensive that America would wish to enforce it's own laws. Now we are violating human rights because we are upholding our laws. What's next??????

Here is another interesting fact.

This is in the U.S. State Dept. message to US citizens who travel to Mexico:

The State Department reminds U.S. citizens to avoid participating in demonstrations and other activities that might be deemed political by Mexican authorities. The Mexican Constitution prohibits political activities by foreigners, and such actions may result in detention and/or deportation.

This is in the U.S. State Dept. message to U.S. citizens who travel to Chile:

Minefields are found in Chile’s northern border with Peru and Bolivia and on the southern border with Argentina in Patagonia. Minefields are generally marked, but markers may have been shifted, become obscured or been vandalized. Travelers should pay attention to markers and follow clearly identified roads and trails when traveling in minefield areas. Border crossings should only be made at authorized locations. Persons visiting wilderness areas in the border regions mentioned above should check with park or other local officials concerning minefields and other potential hazards.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical care, though generally good, may not meet U.S. standards, especially in remote areas. Although emergency rooms in some major hospitals accept credit cards, many doctors and hospitals in Chile expect immediate payment in cash. Prescription and over the counter medicines are widely available. Air pollution is a major source of health concern in Santiago. The most severe air pollution occurs during the winter (May through August).

Fences make good neighbors.

Has everyone noticed that it is only Hispanics in this country and Hispanics in other countries that are bitching about the enforcement of our immigration laws and securing the border? What does that tell you?

Thats a third world country telling us that our third world country (and we are) to keep the flood gates open ....

I think not... we have more illegal aliens in this country than Chile has citizens

Now I don't give a damn if it works or not , I want the damn fence more than ever all the way across the border....they don't like the fence wait until we force the government to put the military or National guard back on the border with instruction to secure it, Probably a pipe dream! but wouldn't that piss them off!

I guess Chile would do Mexico a favor by speaking out against the border fence. Look at the two senators names, that says it all.

Anyone or any country that thinks this invasion should continue is not our friend . Photos at link .

Mexican military in U.S. border standoff
Police say they aided drug smugglers with Humvees, machine guns

Mexican Army Humvee Mexican soldiers and civilian smugglers engaged in an armed standoff with nearly 30 American law enforcement officials on the southern U.S. border, according to Texas police and the FBI. At a spot more than 200 yards inside the U.S., Mexican Army troops set up several mounted machine guns when U.S. Border Patrol agents called for backup Monday, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin of Ontario, Calif., reported.
The paper said Mexican military Humvees were towing what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the U.S., according to Chief Deputy Mike Doyal of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department.
The incident took place on the Rio Grande near Neely's Crossing, about 50 miles east of El Paso.

"It's been so bred into everyone not to start an international incident with Mexico that it's been going on for years," Doyal told the Daily Bulletin. "When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do? Who wants to pull the trigger first? Certainly not us."

Confirming the afternoon encounter, FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons told the paper, "Bad guys in three vehicles ended up on the border. People with Humvees, who appeared to be with the Mexican Army, were involved with the three vehicles in getting them back across."

Deputies captured one vehicle and found 1,477 pounds of marijuana inside, according to Doyal, who added Mexican soldiers set fire to one of the Humvees stuck in the river.
Such incidents are common, Doyal told the Daily Bulletin. Last November, his deputies were called on to back up agents from the Fort ******* border patrol station in Texas after confronting more than six fully armed men dressed in Mexican military uniforms.
Armed with machine guns, the men were trying to bring more than three tons of marijuana across the border in military vehicles.

Doyal insisted the federal government must do something about the incursions, pointing out the deputies and border agents are not equipped for combat.
But Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff today played down the reports of Mexican military incursions, suggesting many could have been mistakes or criminals dressed in military garb. Last week, Mexican officials denied their military made any incursions.

The Daily Bulletin reported, however, border agents interviewed over the past year believe the confrontations were with Mexican military personnel.
A story by the paper last year highlighted a Department of Homeland Security document reporting 216 incursions by Mexican soldiers during the previous 10 years.
Chertoff downplayed the reports at that time, as well, calling them "overblown."
But border agents contend otherwise.
"We're sitting ducks," said one who spoke to the Daily Bulletin on condition of anonymity. "The government has our hands tied."

As WND reported in February 2006, an American law enforcement officer and news crew in Hudspeth County, Texas, witnessed an armed incursion into the U.S. by men dressed in Mexican army attire, the second such incident in two weeks.
Mexican officials have said their military is forbidden from traveling within three miles of the border, though U.S. border residents repeatedly have spotted mobile patrols of Mexican military units traversing roads that run directly parallel to the international boundary. Mexico says the armed men crossing into the U.S. are paramilitary forces loyal to drug-smuggling cartels.

Republican Reps. Duncan Hunter and David Drier of California last week asked Chertoff, the House Judiciary Committee, the House Homeland Security Committee and the House International Relations Committee to investigate the incursions.

So America lives are put at risk because the US government doesn't want to start an international incident with Mexico........
