Mexican President compares border fence to the Berlin Wall.

An Associated Press report indicated that Mexico's President Vicente Fox declared the border fence bill--recently authorized by both houses of Congress--to be "shameful," and compared it to the Berlin Wall.

Mexico's President-elect Felipe Calderon absurdly urged the United States government to supply Mexico with new roads and development instead of building a border fence to prevent would-be illegal immigrants from entering our country.

Comparing a border security fence made to keep illegal immigrants out to the Berlin Wall (which was structured to keep in fearful citizens of a totalitarian government), or suggesting that U.S. revenue be spent on development in Mexico versus protecting our national borders, is a pretty telling litmus test of what passes for diplomacy out of Mexico.

According to VDARE.com, Mexico is home to the world's third richest man, including at least nine other billionaires, along with numerous millionaires. The same corrupt and entrenched ruling class that uses its political power and control of the government to protect its wealth, and amass more, wants the United States to absorb its poverty, while compelling American taxpayers to pick up the tab to build up the country's infrastructure. The profits from that infrastructure building would primarily end up in the pockets of the same ruling elite.
