MONTERREY, Mexico- President Vicente Fox on Wednesday criticized the United States' decision to strengthen its border security and complete a wall along the border, calling it "shameful and embarrassing."
"This situation we're seeing, a shameful, embarrassing moment where walls are being built, security systems are being reinforced, and human and labor rights are being violated more and more, won't protect the economy of the United States," Fox said.
On Monday, a U.S. federal judge lifted the final legal barrier allowing for the completion of a border fence along the Mexico-California border. Plans call for two additional fences running parallel to the existing steel barrier, with sensors and cameras tracking any movement. The fences will run along the final 3 1/2 miles of the border before it meets the Pacific Ocean.
Last month, President George W. Bush said he was providing border agents with cutting-edge technology like overhead surveillance drones and infrared cameras. In October, Bush signed a $32 billion homeland security bill for 2006 that included 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents.
"It would be hard to know what would happen to the economy of the United States if it wasn't for the enormous contribution, the productivity, the quality of work of our countrymen in that country," Fox said.
Speaking in the border city of Reynosa, across from Hidalgo, Texas, Fox said he remained hopeful the United States will approve a temporary guest worker program next year.
Bush has proposed a temporary guest worker program, but that plan envisions having most workers return after up to six years working in the United States. Mexico is pushing for more permanent, legal residence for many of the millions of undocumented Mexicans living and working in the United States.
"What the United States needs is a young (work) force, energy, quality, productivity, which is what keeps that economy competitive and the only way it can stop losing jobs to Asia, to China," Fox added.
Fox also said Mexico, the United States and Canada need to work together to protect the region's jobs to remain competitive against other trade blocks around the world. He said his government will continue to insist on the protection of the rights of Mexicans working abroad.
Fox was in Reynosa supervising the Paisano Program, a government effort to clamp down on corrupt public officials and welcoming Mexican migrants coming home for the holidays.
Why doesn't Mexico just provide them jobs then, Prisedente? Simple, no?

Fox may be more concerned with the effect better border control may have on the Mexican Drug Industry. Perhaps he could be persuaded to pump more oil?
What should be "shameful and embarrassing", Fox, is the fact that your country's economy is so pathetic that 40% of your population wants to move to the United States, and that Mexico's second-largest source of income is American money sent back by your illegal migrants.
But...but....wee don't HAVE no steeeenking border enforcemeent. /sarcasm
"This situation we're seeing, a shameful, embarrassing moment where walls are being built, security systems are being reinforced, and human and labor rights are being violated"
Maybe someone should ask El Presidente what Mexico does with illegal aliens who are caught in Mexico.
"This situation we're seeing, a shameful, embarrassing moment where walls are being built, security systems are being reinforced"
Fox should be ashamed and embarrassed at how he treats the citizens of the country he calls himself the leader of, no jobs, no hope, no future....but there is a whole lot of corruption,drug running and a country run by thugs
I'm willing to take my chances.
Mexico is pushing for more permanent, legal residence for many of the millions of undocumented law breaking Mexicans living and working in the United States.
Wonder what Foxy will be up to once his term has ended?
I hope when House and Senate debate the illegal issue they will decide NOT to allow anchor babies, if the mother is here illegally she shouldn't be rewarded by giving American citizenship to her baby.
If the babies aren't given automatic citizenship than there wouldn't be that many of them coming here illegally!
I truly think that the government of Mexico knows EXACTLY what it's doing. That's the problem. Illegal's from Mexico have the Mexican government stamp of approval.
All that is needed is to apply Mexico's laws to Mexicans crossing into the U.S.
I would love to hear them scream and cry about how unfair their laws are!
No mention of what "extraordinary steps" are employed on Mexico's southern border to keep illegals out.
What we need is a President with the BALLS to tell Vincente to go to hell! The immigration problem is beyond belief. When the hell are our politicians going to wake up and be AMERICANS! I, for one, am dammed tired of this crap. Both political parties share the blame in this regard.
Perhaps if el Presidente would keep his illegals on HIS side of the border, we wouldn't have to take these measures.
Lemme make a little change in that:
Obviously Vincente Fox doesn't understand the "he can KISS MY A**" approach.
Vincente is no different than any other third world commie leader that blames all of his country's ills on America.
It is beyond me why President Bush, (who I like and respect for just about everything else), remains best buds with and cowtows to vincente.
Vincente would stick a knife in his back (literally and figuratively) just as quickly as Hugo, Osama or Saddam would.
Vicente Fox is an embarrassment...among other things. My heart bleeds that this Mexican low-life might finally have a harder time exporting his drugs, corruption and undesirables to America. If he'd spend as much time dealing with his own country's problems as he does lobbying for open borders with the U.S., his people would be a lot better off.
Note that Vincente has a much different opinion of things on HIS country's southern border. There, he isn't nearly as accepting and 'open' to illegals coming in from Central and South America.
What is it these people don't understand about having a border? There is a border. Given that, why shouldn't the border be treated like a border, with the full respect of the law.
Okay, I like that approach as well.
Zorro Ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
He wants to create an EU-type system in the Western Hemisphere. That's why.
Illegals just go around our check points, Mark.
¿Perdone mí, Sr. President, por qué no fija usted la condición vergonzosa y embarazosa de su país primero ... entonces hablaremos, OK?
Lol here's a racist who doesn't hesitate to control his own southern border yet he says when we do it's "shameful and embarrassing."
Vincent Fox, a new synonym for hypocrisy.
If I recall correctly.....Mexico puts armed guards on their southern border with orders to shoot.
"It would be hard to know what would happen to the economy of the United States if it wasn't for the enormous contribution, the productivity, the quality of work of our countrymen in that country,"
Keep your lazy workers that do half assed work, at least in construction, in your own country and maybe you can teach them to do a quality of work that will improve the buildings in your own country.
I've been all over Mexico over the last 60 years and there isn't a building in the country that isn't half assed shoddy if you get within a 100 feet of it.
I agree. Baby Anchor Central, a 178-unit low-income housing complex for 'low-income Latinos and others', opened up last year, three blocks away from my home. If you have your kid in the U.S., suddenly you're getting low-income housing, food stamps, etc. It's disgusting. I live in Portland, Oregon and our lovely county commissioners openly encourage illegals to move here, and to bring their families with them.
The Third World Counties piss and moan constantly. Why do not they grow their OWN ECONOMIES? And STOP this BS against the United States.
I've been to over 13 foreign countries in the last 30+ years, including Argentina, Brasil, Mexico, Venezuela; and most of their economies and politics are disgusting.
We've sent U$D trillions to Africa. And... Would some liberal care to answer the question? Hmmm?
/rant
Fox finds our fence embarrassing? If I were him I'd find it highly embarrassing that so many Mexicans want to run to the United States. One doesn't see many Americans running into Mexico.
Yes, and worse, Americans cannot own property in Mexico. Unless you become a Mexican citizen.
And he thinks that we are getting people who match this description from Mexico? The vast majority don't have a high school education and are illiterate in their native Spanish, let alone English. They work hard but about all they are good for is the least valuable sort of unskilled labor. We will have this type of labor completely automated in a few years and any of these sort of people who we have foolishly allowed to stay in our country will be completely useless to our economy and I guess will just sit around and collect unemployment and make babies.
If these people were such a boon, Mexico would be in fat city because they certainly have lots of them. The truth is that these folks are dregs. Businesses can make good profits by putting them to work at low wages but only because the true cost of these people is subsidized by taxpayers.
Vincete ought to be ashamed that he can provide his people neither hope not jobs.
My hunch is Vinnie would prefer to keep that EU-style system limited to Mexico. He doesn't want to see anyone getting the Gringo's gold.

BINGO !
Vicente drives on a one-way street
Kerry wanted to make America part of Europe.
Bush wants to make America part of Latin America. He sees Hispanics as kind of a Bush dynasty power base. And of course his cheap labor buddies want an America something like Latin America at its worst. Rich people living behind fortified walls while the peons scrounge in garbage heaps for food.
Now we know where the Arbusto admin, and the OBL morons are getting their info...
"This situation we're seeing, a shameful, embarrassing moment where walls are being built, security systems are being reinforced, and human and labor rights are being violated more and more, won't protect the economy of the United States," Fox said.

"It would be hard to know what would happen to the economy of the United States if it wasn't for the enormous contribution, the productivity, the quality of work of our countrymen in that country," Fox said.
Gee Vincente...if these are such good workers...WHY ARE THEY LEAVING YOUR CRAPHOLE?!?! You mean you can't raise the standard of living for your own people?
What good are you then?
Oh, that's right...we NEED a Narco-Terrorist Socialist Gub'Mint on our Border!
My goof...happens when I'm absolutely furious!
According to the White House, Vicente, and many in Congress, America would just dry up and die without Mexico's help, and we should just surrender.
I've never read such a load of crap in my life. America has done quite well without the help of third world Mexico.
Link, please.
I've never read such a load of crap in my life.
Ditto.
Hi honey. I am stating my opinion, and I stand by it!
"This situation we're seeing, a shameful, embarrassing moment where walls are being built, security systems are being reinforced, and human and labor rights are being violated more and more, won't protect the economy of the United States," Fox said."
No, the sad situation is how you, President Fox, have failed your own people time and time again. The sad part is not our need to enforce our own borders, it is the social and economic condition of the country you run. If you did your job, there would be no need to carry out stricter enforcement measures, because millions of your citizens would not have come here for jobs. Do your job!
