#1 Well of course it would! I mean, why would we want to wall off the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans? Total waste of resources!

Sheesh.

#2 As always ..follow the money. He's afraid a wall will trash the Mexican economy. All the illegals won't be able to send $ home.

BTW the Berlin wall was erected to keep people in...big difference.

#3 without the illegals sending back wages, Mexico might have to actually do something for their people, other than publishing guides to illegally crossing safely into the US

#4 He's right. Building the wall IS a huge error. We should instead be shooting illegals on sight and levying long jail sentences and confiscatory fines against those traitors in this country who hire them. We could make that solution work for a hell of a let less than 1.2 billion because it wouldn't take many dead illegals and jailed CEOs before both groups got the message big time and shaped up.

#5 "Humanity" didn't build the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Bloc did to save them the embarrassment of all the citizens desperate to escape the socialist "paradise." That Calderon doesn't even have the decency to be embarrassed about how many of his citizens want to escape to find a decent life says a lot. Maybe he thinks of them as colonists.

And what about the fence they're proposing on their own southern border?

#6 Betcha that Felipe Calderon has a door on his house with a lock on it, inside a parameter fence, with privite security...

#10 Anyone in this country illegally in a time of war should be considered a spy/sabatour and according to the Geneva convention, shot.

#11 We need a fence and we need a generous guest-worker program that allows employers, particularly in the agricultural sector, to bring in people for seasonal labor.
