Last week, Raul Diaz, Mexico’s superintendent of tax administration, confirmed that Mexico will build a wall along the Mexican-Guatemalan border. Diaz’s announcement exposed to the world Mexico’s unending hypocrisy.

For decades, Mexico has decried the United States’ immigration policy as inhumane and called for the open flow of “migrants,” as its leaders refer to illegal aliens. In 2005, then-President Vicente Fox called a U.S. proposal to build a high-tech wall along the shared border as “disgraceful and shameful.” Another prominent Mexican official, Foreign Secretary Luis Derbez, insisted that, “ Mexico is not going to bear, it is not going to permit, and it will not allow a stupid thing like this wall.”

According to Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights, more than 500,000 illegal immigrants cross into Mexico from Central America each year. That’s about half the total of those who come to the United States annually, yet it’s enough for Mexico to justify a wall.

I'm cool with this. I'm willing to bet that many, if not most, of those 500,000 wind up here. At lease Mexico has a nice chokepoint.

i guess only poor lands can wall out invaders? rich lands aren’t supposed to do that?

Hypocritical Mexicans do as we say not as we do we need a Wall manned with Soldiers allowed to use their weapons to keep out all the terrorists both economic and otherwise.

It is worth noting the geographical borders resulting from the original concept of the North American Union merging Canada, US and Mexico. The ENTIRE resultant border would be OCEAN, EXCEPT for the narrow, funneled border at the Southern tip of Mexico.

The only way by land IN or OUT would be at the easily controlled Southern Mexican Border. It would be easy to build an impenetrable “wall” of any technology, and relatively cheap too.

Thinking another way, the only way Mexicans can travel freely overland from Mexico is....NORTH. We are well aware they are doing so.

At least some countries try to defend their borders. Mexico WOULD raise hell if the US built a wall.

They’re building a wall on Mexico’s Southern border (I wonder how much we’re contributing to that) because it will be OUR Southern border when the SPP is finally fully implemented.

Mexico WOULD raise hell if the US built a wall.

Artillery and minefields mean never having to say you're sorry! Let 'em raise all the hell they want, then flatten everything ten miles into Mexico to a no man's land.

The wall is there so more Mexicans can get into America.
