Good fences make....

...an unhappy Vicente Fox. In a recent speech, Mexico's president had this to say about US proposals for additional walls along the US-Mexico border:

Fox, speaking in Tamaulipas state across the border from Texas, said such extreme security measures would violate immigrants' rights.

"The disgraceful and shameful construction of walls, the increasing enforcement of security systems and increasing violation of human rights and labor rights will not protect the economy of the United States," he said.

Let's review:
> Fox is president of a country that supplies the highest percentage of illegal immigrants to the US. If the US has security systems designed to protect its border from trespassing, that's up to the US to maintain and enforce. If a burglar kept breaking into your house, and the burglar complained that you erected a security fence and alarm systems to deal with the situation, would you really listen to the burglar?

> Fox is president of a country that, in a recent opinion poll, revealed that 40 percent of respondents would move to the US if they could. Most of this rationale is because they would be paid far more in the US than at home. Gee, speaking of a violation of labor rights.

> Fox is president of a country that, instead of creating more opportunities for its citizens, prints pamphlets advising its citizens on how to safely cross illegally into its neighbor to the north. Now that's disgraceful and shameful.

When Fox becomes Director of Homeland Security for the US, I'll heed his advice on border security with Mexico. - X
