Comments on: Calderon Likens Fence To Berlin Wall

Mexico's President Elect Calls Both ‘Grave’ Errors; Vicente Fox Says Fence Is An ‘Embarrassment’

No, newster1,Did you just wake up from a long winter's nap? in case you hadn't noticed, Americans are not flocking to Mexico illegally, like it's the land of milk and honey. The Mexican government has failed it's people. Where is the reform? What president wants it's citizens to flock to another country? That fence will be a stark reminder to Fox of all he failed to accomplish.

We get rid of one wall- the Berlin wall finally, and then we build our own Berlin wall. With the BUSH REGIME one has to wonder if this is more to do to keep Americans *IN* from escaping than it is to keep Mexicans OUT.

That fence is such and embarrassment to Vicente Fox because it'll be a permanent reminder of what a failure he's been as president during a period of unprecedented opportunity and globalization that he just plain missed. He's the embarrassment.

Its hard to place much creedence into anything a Mexican politition says but to criticize us for trying to enforce our sovergien laws borders on stupidity. Mexico is a rich country in natural resources but so corrupt and class structured they can't even employ their own people at a living wage. Trying to compare our fence to the Berlin Wall is just throwing smoke on the real issues......its not being built to keep people in, as the Berlin wall but to keep ILLEGAL immigrants out which is our right.......so my 2 cents is Sc**w Mexico

Tell me he's kidding. Who's the one that should be ashamed of themselves. How dare you criticize the US, Mr. Fox. We the taxpayers of America have been feeding, housing, educating, providing healthcare to your citizens for years. Feed your people and clean up the rampant corruption in your country, Mr. Fox!!!

Mexico is the country that should be embarrassed. They have the money and resources to be a major 2nd world country, yet they live like it was the early 1900's. Instead of bandits, they are plagued with corruption and greed.
