The Mexican Government is once again throwing a hissy-fit over the fact that the U.S. is making get-tough noises over illegal immigration.
...angered by a U.S. proposal to extend a wall along the border to keep out migrants, (the Mexican government) pledged Tuesday to block the plan and organize an international campaign against it. Facing a growing tide of anti-immigrant sentiment north of the border, the Mexican government has taken out ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States. It also is hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image and counter growing U.S. concerns about immigration.
Mexican Foreign Secretary, Luis Derbez said that "Mexico is not going to bear, it is not going to permit, and it will not allow... this wall."
Most telling of all is this quote from a resident of Zacatecas:
We learned to believe in the United States. We have a binational life," he said of Zacatecas, a state that has been sending migrants north for more than a century. "It isn't just a feeling of rejection. It's against what we see as part of our life, our culture, our territory.
Mexico won't allow us to protect our sovereignty? Sounds like fightin' words to me.
H/T But Thats Just My Opinion
