| Mexico May Take Fence Dispute to U.N. |
| 2006-10-10 |
| 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. Cause, you know, the UN has soverignty over the United States..... 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. Yeah... France is a prime example of immigration policy. Did you ask him about he muslim riots? 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. Axiom often metioned at my job: You can do anything you want - on your last day of work. The U.S. Senate approved the border fence bill last month and President Bush has said he will sign it into law _ despite last-minute pleas from the Mexican government for a veto. |

| #6 Tell Mexico that any attempt to stop us building that fence will be considered an act of war, and we'll totally destroy Mexico's top 40 families in retaliation. That may solve a number of problems we have with Mexico. |

| #2 but everyone keeps hysterically saying the fence won't work - I must be missing something :-) |

| #1 Good fences make good neighbors. And just what is their objection? That they might have to face internal pressures not relieved by the exodus? |
