MEXICO CITY – Mexico has pledged to block a U.S. proposal to extend walls along the U.S. border, promising yesterday to raise "a storm of criticism" and the condemnation of the international community against a bill that also would criminalize undocumented migrants.

Making the Mexican government finally realize the importance of the issue is the ONLY good reason I could see for the walls - It might help if we also criminalized the HIRING of illegals by traitorous Americans.

Wait'll they hear about land mines and such.

Again, if I didn't share this with you, my son's solution: "Burning river of gas." Kinda expensive at today's prices, but he suggested we randomly alternate gas jets.

"Wait'll they hear about land mines and such."

Great idea ! We could bring over some out of work Russians to show us how it's done ( Scheech... )

And sharks with frikkin laser beams on their heads!

Poor Vincente just not getting any sleep at night at the thought of all those American dollars not flowing into Mexico -- big nightmare --- seems like there is a strong parallel between him and Ray Nagin... :-)

LOL
Great Idea.

[ImpotentRage]

Ah. We can only hope.

Si, si, senor! Lo siento mucho, amigos mios.

Feliz navidad!

They're angry about our wanting to defend our borders? Really, now. They are speaking as though we are a northern province. No es verdad. This is still the United States.

Viva the fences!

"If people in the U.S. and Canada had an accurate view of the success of democracy, political stability and economic prosperity in Mexico, it would improve their views on specific bilateral issues like immigration and border security," said Rob Allyn, president of the PR company.

....and if Mexicans believed that crap they would stay in their own country.

Americans furious at Mexico's plans to build Mexico within our borders.

[No Blue States]

"Americans furious at Mexico's plans to build Mexico within our borders."

This gets my vote for corrected headline of the week.

[YouPosting2Me]

We could just make a new southern border (at the Panama canal) and just annex the Mexico population, their oil, resorts, tax base, etc... and put Fox out of a job.

Well said!!

[Little Ray]

This should shoot a hole in Bayourod's insistence that wall would be ineffective. If the Mexicans don't like it, it must be a pretty good idea.

[1Old Pro]

Why don't we take the billions needed to rebuild the New Orleans levies and instead use those monies to build the fences on the Mexican border?

[Sister_T]

So what if they are upset? Build the wall! Fine and imprison those who hire these criminals crossing into this country! Maybe if we got serious about these illegals then maybe Mexico would get serious about fixing their problems, instead of always transporting them HERE!

promising yesterday to raise "a storm of criticism"

Me thinks thou protestest too much......

[Mulch]

Yep. Making an example of one or two businesses that break immigration laws is all that it would take to stop other businesses from doing the same.

We'll make a deal. Order all illegal mexicans to return to mexico within 30 under penalty of death of their entire extended families. If they re-enter the US illegally, the rest of their families will be executed. We won't build the wall.
{I know, mexico doesn't have the death penalty, they can sub-contract the work to the drug dealers and mexican policia.} More work for every one.

If you really want to protect the borders, get serious. Execution is serious. Oh boy, here come the moderates with their flame throwers. Flame on, it's Christmas and I feel good.
