51% of Mexicans Against Increased Illegal Immigration

That is, increased illegal immigration from those coming into Mexico from their southern border with other Central American countries. It seems the Mexicans are getting fed up with the amount of undocumented workers coming into their country from the south and want their government to increase patrolling the borders.

A poll (link in Spanish) published by the news paper El Universal shows that 50% of interviewed Mexicans are in favor of redoubling the police security in the border with 51% of the Mexicans wanting immigration with Central American citizens to the country to diminish, according to a survey published Monday by the newspaper El Universal. In the USA, 39% think the same in regards to total immigration. via Silent Running

Yet, if we in the United States want to build a border fence, we are racist xenophobes? Give me a break and build the fence. When we get ours done, we can send the crews down to Southern Mexico and help them with their fence.

   I have heard some from South American coming across Mexico are treated like animals while they are in Mexico…..but is worth it if they can get to the United States.

   OK, so Central America builds a fence to keep out the South Americans. Then Mexico builds a fence to keep out both the South Americans and Central Americans. Then the USA builds a fence to keep out South Americans, Central Americans, and Mexicans.

   Then Canada builds a fence to keep out all non French speaking people. But what about the ‘terrorists?’
