Mexico border fence with Guatemala
current events | myself

Posted on 06/29/2012 2:39:02 AM PDT by notpoliticallycorewrecked

There was considerable mention of a border fence between Mexico and Guatemala a few years back. Did Mexico make good on their stance and build that wall on their southern border?

I did an internet search but was unable to find out if the Mexican government did build that fence. Anyone know if they did or if it was just talk? If they did anyone have any pictures of it?

That was two years ago. It seems that the press is deliberately evading the subject since then. I can only presume that they have not abated.

Well, this isn’t directly about the fence, but it doesn’t show much security at all at the border:

Considering how many illegals in America are from south of Mexico, I would say no fence is in place.

From the gov. that cried racism, when we discussed building ours. Hypocritical bastards.

Does anyone else find humor in the idea that Mexico needs to keep ‘bad’ people out?

As if Mexico has a pressing illegal immigration issue on their hands!

One wonders, though, if they don’t have a special government-run offer of a fully loaded hiker’s pack for those who want to depart.
