Fence a "Berlin Wall?"

Mexican President Fox surprises no one with his comparison of the newly-mandated Fence as a Berlin Wall. Obviously his remarks are for domestic consumption, since only people south of the border would be so clueless as to forget that the Berlin Wall was to keep people IN their own country rather than keeping riff-raff OUT of East Germany.

Fox has presided over a sleazy, crime-ridden crony capitalist RICO kleptocracy, where about 90% of the people are near or below the poverty level. And Fox and his cronies want the US as a "safety valve" to keep domestic unrest from boiling over.

The fact that Congress could muster enough energy to get the Fence bill passed is surprising, given their track record.

But Bush has promised to sign the bill, and he'd better act soon before the Dems arrive and ruin the last two years of his already badly-misfiring tenure.

In the meantime, there is still an encampment in the Zocalo claiming their guy won.
