Illegal Immigration Watch: Mexico Retaliates for Border Wall Plan

Mexico’s President Vicente Fox speaks during an event in Silao, Mexico on Sunday Dec. 18, 2005. President Fox stepped up his attacks on the United States plan to build a wall along its southern border saying it was a ‘shameful” initiative for a democracy.

The ASSociated Press has Mexico Retaliates for Border Wall Plan

The Mexican government, angered by a U.S. proposal to extend a wall along the border to keep out migrants, has struck back with radio ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States. Facing a growing tide of anti-immigrant sentiment north of the border, the Mexican government is also hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image.

Mexican President Vicente Fox denounced the U.S. measures, passed by the House of Representatives on Friday, as “shameful” and his foreign secretary, Luis Ernesto Derbez, said Monday the wall was “stupid.”

What is stupid is if the United States does nothing to enforce its own border security and immigration laws.

Build the wall!

Enforce the immigration laws!
