Story: "Mexico's foreign secretary said Monday the country may take a dispute over U.S. plans to build a fence on the Mexican border to the United Nations.
Luis Ernesto Derbez told reporters in Paris, his first stop on a European tour, that a legal investigation was under way to determine whether Mexico has a case.
The Mexican government last week sent a diplomatic note to Washington criticizing the plan for 700 miles of new fencing along the border. President-elect Felipe Calderon also denounced the plan, but said it was a bilateral issue that should not be put before the international community.
Derbez said Monday after meeting with French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy that it was a "shame" U.S. immigration policy had been used for what he claimed was a short-term political gain in the lead-up to midterm elections in the U.S. in November."
Weird. Mexico seems not to care about keeping their citizens, rather then loosing them to another nation. Although, since they are illegal in the US, what has Mexico got to lose with the status quo?

It's not weird, Mexico publishes guides on how to get into the U.S. and encourages people to emigrate illegally. Money sent back from the U.S. is Mexico's number one source of income.
Mexico wants to live off our economy rather than trying to improve theirs.
Good point. But they can't tax it, I wouldn't think, so wouldn't they want to fix the problem?
Well, they can't tax but they do take bribes, alot of the officials do so that's where they get their income. The fraction of rich gets richer and the rest are just trying to survive.
