This man has no credibility. Fence him in.

Why would anyone listen to Vincente Fox? Mexico basically eats the crumbs that fall from the United States' table. Our economy has held up theirs for a century. He is el presidente, or more like a banana republic dictator lite. He has not been a good neighbor to this country, nor has Mexico.

A small article arreared in the UPI today. It is short, so I will post it here.

Congress passes Mexico border fence bill

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Congress has ordered construction of 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexican border in a move Mexico says will hurt relations between the two countries.

The Senate voted 80-19, with 26 Democrats joining 54 Republicans in support, Friday night before recessing for the fall political campaigns.

President Bush has said he would sign it.

Critics claim the $1.2 billion fence would do little to address the underlying economic, social and law enforcement problems, or to prevent others from slipping across the border, The Washington Post reported.

A United Press International analysis said the fence's success would be determined by improved economic growth in Mexico and crackdowns on U.S. employment of illegal immigrants.

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department called the fence "a political answer rather than a viable solution."

Mexican President Vicente Fox called it "shameful" and compared it to the Berlin Wall, which divided Germany.

He called a fence shameful and compared it to the Berlin Wall. Unbelievable. The Berlin Wall divided one nation into two parts, not two nations along their border. It divided a city. The Berlin Wall was put in place as a tool to enforce oppression and keep a once free people within its perimeter. The Berlin Wall was not built to secure a nation's porous border, it was built to extend communism's grip upon a free populace. A border fence with Mexico is only meant to keep law breaking immigrants out of our country and to assist in keeping enemies of this nation from infiltrating easily.

In my opinion, the fence approved is still far short, both literally and figuratively, of what we need. It is only about one third the length of our border with Mexico. What about the other two thirds? We still have left those borderlands wide open. $1.2 billion is all that was allocated by a bunch of spineless, politically correct (I almost want to say enemies of the state or traitors to our national sovereignty, but that may be a bit too extreme) politicians (ah, there is the problem, summed up in that one word). We can spend 20 times that in Iraq in just a few months securing their borders. We have troops from this nation securing the borders in Korea and Germany. But we can't take care of our own.

The Wake County school bond would almost be that much. One county in one state is wanting a bond for schools that would come close to the amount that is proposed to just one third of a border fence.

Build a damn wall! All the way across!
