Building a wall around US a 'huge error': Mexican president-elect
The United States committed a "huge error" in choosing to build a wall between itself and its southern neighbor, Mexico's president-elect Felipe Calderon said during a state visit to Canada, comparing it with the Berlin Wall.

"The wall will not solve any problem. Humanity made a huge mistake by building the Berlin Wall, and I believe that today the United States is committing a grave error in building the wall on our border," he said.

US President George W. Bush on Thursday signed into law a bill authorizing construction of a 1,100-kilometer (700-mile) fence along a third of the US border with Mexico.

Some 1.2 billion dollars in funding were earmarked for the fence, in a bid to stanch the steady flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

Calderon said the fence would be expensive to US taxpayers and lead to more Mexican deaths. Some 400 Mexicans died trying to cross the border last year, he noted.

Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he accepts US concerns about a safe and secure border, but added: "We obviously caution against things that can cause unnecessary barriers, not just to trade, but to the ordinary exchange of tourism and social relationships between our countries."
do you folks really think this fence/wall will be built?

Good topic. Heresy, do you still think that it is incorrect to compare this wall to the Berlin Wall? (I'm sure you do)

The wall is not going to solve the "problem" of immigration. And aside from that, I would say that this wall would go against the treaty signed in 1848. But they made a rediculous amount of revisions on it after it was first ratified, so I can't really say for certain.

I cant wait to see what the outcome of this will be.

What I'm trippin on is that it's only going to be 700 miles long, and within that, they probably going to build the fence over a couple of dozen tunnels and not know it. A wall is a joke....look a the wall in TJ ...you can walk straight through that bitch. every 100 feet or so. Big waste of time and money.

I think it would be great if we had the man power to watch over the fence after its built. Id be a volunteer some nights if i lived in the area. At the moment i think its a good idea but they wont accomplish too much wihtout a large patrol. Berlin was inside a country, this is on a boarder. Countries need boarder control, especially ours
