Mexico Retaliates for Border Wall Plan

Soon to be filed under "Seemed like a good idea at the time."

The Mexican government, angered by a U.S. proposal to extend a wall along the border to keep out migrants, has struck back with radio ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States.

Facing a growing tide of anti-immigrant sentiment north of the border, the Mexican government is also hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image.

Mexicans are outraged by the proposed measures, especially the extension of the border wall, which many liken to the Berlin Wall. Some are urging their government to fight it fiercely.

"Our president should oppose that wall and make them stop it, at all costs," said Martin Vazquez, 26, at the Mexico City airport as he returned from his job as a hotel worker in Las Vegas. "More than just insulting, it's terrible."

The US is about to be invaded by a PR campaign. The Mexican President believes the reason Americans are angry about illegal immigration is we just don't understand how wonderful Mexico is. Just imagine the commercials showing the smiling illegal aliens helping old ladies cross the street. Maybe video of starving Americans strung out on the streets for lack of workers at burger joints to provide food.

More worrisome is the Martin Vasquez' of Mexico joining the Mexican army and using force to keep the border open. Mexico has enough problems without repeating the Alamo.
