How about those Mexicans building a fence on their southern border?

Here's a link from the NY Times for you lefties http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/18/world/americas/1...

Don't you wonder why it makes sense for them yet not for the US?

Update:

For those interested in another source with another dateline: http://www.numbersusa.com/content/news/october-6-2...

    Amazing how they can be so 2 faced, yeah.

    They can discriminate against Guatamalans but they whine when we enforce our laws against thier people. They can build a fence but when we try to, they cry about it. Even their president was encouraging the poor to leave for America and handing out documentation to help.

    Even the laws of Mexico demand the documentation people merely passing through thier country, where as if we try to nip this illegal immigration in the butt..........they whine some more.

    Not to mention thier irrelevant crying over Arizona trying to defend themselves with legislation to protect thier citizens..............unlike that sack of crap Obama whom is in violationg of his oath as president to defend America and uphold the laws of the land.

    Yes, as we all know, it takes an advanced degree to find your way past a fence, so most illegal immigrants would be stopped dead in their tracks. Mexico provides us with a fine example of what an effective government looks like.

    Sometimes I wonder if some of the things Mexico does are just to tick us off. Like not letting Taco Bell into Mexico City because it, as they said, would spread American culture there. Hypocrisy of the magnitude you see in Mexicans is difficult to believe is coincidence.

    Canada should start building their own border wall to keep the Yankees out when the US falls into a third world state thanks to cons.

    Where should the US southern border wall be built? I say the Red River.
