Give Me Land, Lots of Land...Don't Fence Me In (I Want Your Land!)

Mexico are going to plead with President Bush not to go ahead with plans for a 700 mile border fence between the two countries. Doesn't a country have the right to protect its borders? I say 'yes, it does.'

An estimated 1.2 million illegal immigrants were arrested in the last year trying to cross into the US...and that's only the ones who were caught!

It is quoted the decision (of erecting the border fence) hurts bilateral relations, goes against the spirit of co-operation needed to guarantee security on the common border, creates a climate of tension in border communities.

What a lot of hogwash! 'Co-operation'...what co-operation? It doesn't seem to me that the Mexicans are co-operating. Perhaps they should look to themselves and ask why it is their people are trying to enter the US...illegally. They should 'fix up their own backyard' and take better care of their people. Just my thoughts on the matter!
