And, of course, the MSM and the Democrats (which is a redundancy) will say it is all our fault:
PARIS -- Mexico's foreign secretary said Monday the country may take a dispute over U.S. plans to build a fence on the Mexican border to the United Nations.
Luis Ernesto Derbez told reporters in Paris, his first stop on a European tour, that a legal investigation was under way to determine whether Mexico has a case.
The Mexican government last week sent a diplomatic note to Washington criticizing the plan for 700 miles of new fencing along the border. President-elect Felipe Calderon also denounced the plan, but said it was a bilateral issue that should not be put before the international community.
It would seem that Mexico's biggest foreign exchange earner is the illegal Mexicans working in the US and sending money home - Mexico is kept afloat not by the work of Mexican's in Mexico, but of Mexican's in the United States...you'd think that Mexico would ditch their habitual anti-Yanqui nonsense and start understanding that Mexico would be as rich as the US if they would merely allow their economy the freedom the American economy has. But, no, the dead hand of socialistic economic policy and corrupt politics keeps Mexico backwards - and like all good leftwingers everywhere, blaming the United States for their own failures.
Our response to this should be to double the height and length of the fence.

And in true liberal fashion the UN will back Mexcio. Instead of working with us, they will work against us; again.

Amen to that.

What in the world makes them think they have any right to contest anything we build on our sovereign land? I could MAYBE understand if it was something like a nuclear bomb testing site... but otherwise, but otherwise, none of their beeswax.
Jo's right, though... the UN (and any individual country that wants to rival the US as a power in the world, and therefore anything to thwart us) will probably side with Mexico and try to declare it "illegal" or at least "immoral".

What do I call 700 miles of fencing?
A good start.

If the Mexican government attemts to go through with taking this issue to the UN then there should be a counter proposal brought before the UN by the US:
Propose that the UN send to Mexico its armies of aid agencies and even blue helmets in order to investigate and attempt to solve the root problems in Mexico which are causing hundreds of thousands to flee the country every year.
While the debate goes on: build the fence.

What happened to the Berlin Wall? Was the Great Wall of China, though probably high tech in its time, actually effective?

I know it's not diplomatic, or Christian, but there are times I wish the President would tell other countries to go f**k themselves. Ah, well, I can dream.

Tapio,
Yes the Great Wall, and for that matter the Berlin Wall were effective. They weren't perfect, invaders eventually got in China and some East Germans escaped to the West. But both worked. The problem was that the buiders saw the wall as the solution, not just a part of the solution. We must build the fence, but we can't see it as the solution. It is a tournequit(sp?) to stop the flow, while we deal with the problem of what to do about the people who want to leave Mexico because the government has failed there.

Unfortunately it will probably be the ONE thing the Useless Nations actually acts on.

If this turns out the way all other U.N. operations turn out, I can't see why we're wasting bandwidth on this.
Let Bolton handle it. It's his turf.

This piece of fallacious nonsense is one reason the rest of the world has a major beef with the US. Do you really beieve that the US would ALLOW such a thing to occur? The Free Market idea has for decades now been the boon of the powerful, who are free to declare exactly what the 'free' means...
