MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico warned Thursday that the U.S. proposal to build miles of border fence will damage relations between the two countries.
The Foreign Relations Department said it was "deeply worried" about the proposal, which is working its way through the Senate, adding it will "increase tension in border communities."
"These measures will harm the bilateral relationship. They are against the spirit of co-operation that is needed to guarantee security on the common border," the department said in a statement.
The House of Representatives and Senate are maneuvering to speed construction of a 700-mile fence along the United States' southern border aimed at keeping migrants and criminals from entering the country illegally.
A House-Senate homeland security funding bill containing $1.2 billion to begin building the fence could be passed and sent to President Bush before lawmakers depart Washington this weekend.
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said that only a comprehensive immigration reform would stop millions of Mexicans sneaking across its northern desert and swimming over the Rio Grande into the United States.
"A partial measure that is exclusively focused on security does not deal with reality and represents a political answer rather than a viable solution," it said in the statement.
President Vicente Fox has rallied against the wall, calling it "shameful" and comparing it to the Berlin Wall, which divided Germany.
President-elect Felipe Calderon, who takes over from Fox on Dec.1, has also spoken out against the measure.
There are an estimated 11 million Mexicans in the United States, about half of whom are illegal. Last year, Mexican migrants sent home more than $20 billion in remittances, providing Mexico with its second biggest source of foreign income after oil.
Mexico needs to pay attention to Mexico and keep their nose out of our affairs!!!!!
They have failed to provide for their own people and now they want our government to ignore the will of our citizens.
As far as I'm concerned we can ship them all back south right after we get done with the fence. We don't want them to be able to sneak back in.
"We, either take Mexico, or, they take us...."
If we take Mexico, who are we going to give it to?" (you asked)
Like, we get a percent of the oil reserve and tourism and enforce that people stay in their own living room, for starters.
But please, don't invoke relativism here. It is IMMORAL to keep people IN. It is an INALIENABLE RIGHT to keep people OUT (e.g., out of your house, your bank account, your country.
Two words to Mexico:
Phuque Ewe.

You mean, Mexico doesn't want to send undesirables into the United States? I am so shocked, I cannot react.
Mexico is just pissed that they now have to print up revised maps for their exiting excrement, showing where the fences are...
We don't need a fence, just mine the border. After a few missing legs, they'll stop coming.
But Bush/Cheney/Rove/Republicans/Patriots are evil, so this will be the approach the moonbats will take, "It's an immoral wall since it keeps the Mexicans IN Mexico, just like farm animals in a pen."
I might be in favor of annexing Mexico into the USA and then trading the US Northeast to Canada for the Canadian Northwest. This would have possibilities.
Here's a question that I have yet to get a good answer to.....
Our government tells us that it would be impossible to deport 12 to 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS back to the THIRD WORLD sh*t hole that they came from, yet Mexico seems to have NO PROBLEM(o) in sending 12 to 20 million of their criminals and illiterates to us.
Would someone care to tell me how that is possible?
"These measures will harm the bilateral relationship."
For one, it will harm the "bilateral relationship" between drug traffickers and North American junkies.
The Fence better look something like this you DC pols.
There are? Could have fooled me.
Memo to Mexico: The people of the United States oppose the practice of your country dumping economic problems on us.
The free lunch is about over...
Mexico opposes the fences.
The fences oppose Mexico.
Seems like a perfect fit to me.

Ohh, God. You are cracking me up! Ohh. that is so good! thanks for making me laugh and daydream all at the same time.
