The Inter-Press Sevice (IPS) is reporting that the head administrator of the Mexican Superintendency of Tax Administration, Raul Diaz, has confirmed that his government is building a wall in the state of Chiapas, along the Mexican/Guatemalan border.

The official reason is to stop contraband from coming into Mexico, but as Diaz admitted: “It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.”

According to Mexico's National Commission on Human Rights, 500,000 people from Central America cross into Mexico illegally every year.

Just as Mexican authorities have opposed the construction of a fence by the U.S., along our border with their country, Mexico is now receiving a great deal of criticism from the Guatemalan government.

The executive coordinator of the National Bureau for Migration in Guatemala, Marila de Prince, told a local newspaper: “It is not a correct measure being taken by the Mexican government.”

Erick Maldonado, executive secretary of Guatemala's National Council on Migrants said: “We are watching the Mexican government's initiative with concern because the migrants are in a situation of highest vulnerability, as demonstrated by the massacre in Tamaulipas, where five Guatemalans died.”

Maldonado said the wall “is going to make the migrants' situation worse, because to meet their needs they are always going to find blind points where there are no migration or security controls, which implies greater risks." FULL STORY

I guess Guatemalans are not so important as undocumented voters in Mexico. And I guess this must mean things are even worse in Guatemala if Mexico looks like the promised land.

More likely, Mexico is "flyover country" to become undocumented Democrats in the USSA.

I think the evil Todd Palin is behind this.

Yes Comrade Vladimir.....

Mexico is also guilty of operating a "Catch and Release" program like DHS in USSA!

Mexico catches the illegal Guatamalans in the South, and releases them along the Rio Grande and Arizona!

Brings back great oppressive memories of Berlin Wall. Good times.

THAT IS SO RACIST.

Where in tarnation is Amnesty International on this, the ACLU, etc. This is unacceptable. If we are to allow all those undocumented democrats into our nation, surely Mexico should do the same.

Mr. Calderon (?), tear down that wall!

Comrades, let's not forget that Mexico, unlike the US is a sovereign nation. They have every right to restrict entry. Up until now they had to station their military along their Southern border to arrest, beat and even shoot dead any scummy inferior denizen of South America who dared try and sneak into Mexico to pollute their raza, spread crime and mooch off their non-existent welfare programs.

When you consider that, a wall seems quite humane and prudent. Hey, it worked for East Germany.

How about we go to the Mexico border and give out shovels and assignments to illegals aliens ......no....immigrants........hm..........future Democrats ! Remember, they are guaranteed work and benefits by the State. Comrade Pelosivich of the Autonomous Socialist Republic of San Francisco was saying so.

Ah yes! Berlin Wall south. Reminds me of when we put land mines in no mans land to prevent all the decadent West Berliners from invading the glorious East!


The hypocrisy of it is only matched by the medias silence about it. They will be going out of their way to put the kibosh on this lil' piece of news.
