Mexico May Take Fence Dispute to U.N.

PARIS -- Mexico's foreign secretary said Monday the country may take a dispute over U.S. plans to build a fence on the Mexican border to the United Nations.

Luis Ernesto Derbez told reporters in Paris, his first stop on a European tour, that a legal investigation was under way to determine whether Mexico has a case.

The Mexican government last week sent a diplomatic note to Washington criticizing the plan for 700 miles of new fencing along the border. President-elect Felipe Calderon also denounced the plan, but said it was a bilateral issue that should not be put before the international community.

Derbez said Monday after meeting with French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy that it was a "shame" U.S. immigration policy had been used for what he claimed was a short-term political gain in the lead-up to midterm elections in the U.S. in November.

He said he discussed the issue with Douste-Blazy, and planned to bring it up in meetings with his Spanish and Italian counterparts during visits to Madrid and Rome. He vowed to work on the case until the "very last day" of President Vicente Fox's term, which ends Dec. 1.

I know this is just crazy to point out, but its their border too.

And?

If the fence is not being built on their side of the border, they have no say in it.

Frankly, this would not be necessary if the Mexican government did not actively assist their citizens in sneaking into the US unlawfully.

Word!

I just read this story and was totally astounded by their ignorance….I mean, who the hell do they think they are to tell anyone who and who can’t build a fence….There are some serious dumb shits south of the border..

I wish I owned property next to the border.

Many times I believe Americans will have to take back the country and start a new government.

Seems to me that as long as the fence is built on the American side of the border it's nobodies business except America's

It does make one wonder why does Mexico care that we build a fence? Could it be that perhaps then the Mexican government will have a harder time sending their undesirables to us?

Wow, half of our country can't seem to get a basic point that a polite Englishman understands like it's elementary math.

I think Mexico would be better off asking the UN to help build infrastructure. Our good subcommandante, has not been very successful in alleviating poverty with the advanced weapons of microdestruction that are so easily available with a warfare-state economic model.

I'm not always polite But it does seem pretty straightforward to me. If it's on your soil then it's upto you if you build it. Obviously you'd need to make sure that recognised crossing points ie: roads, rail, fords, maritime access etc were adequately staffed to allow free transit of goods and people with legitimate business eg: migrant workers, tourists, hauliers and so on. But ultimately I don't see these problems as insurmountable.

It is just as much the fault of the US government as the Mexican government, I am not saying the fence is wrong or right, at least someone is thinking of a way to stop it. I hope it's the right way. But look on the bright side, it will create jobs building it, and it is about time Bush gave back, unless of course it will be illegal immigrants building it.

Yea seeing a bunch of illegal aliens building our fence would be quite funny! Isn't Fox looking for a job nowadays?

I have to adimit that it would lower the cost of that form of public sector interference.

Now that was a good one.
