Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderón today called the extension of the border wall proposed by the U.S. government “a serious mistake”.
The comments were made in a press conference during a visit with the Canadian Prime Minister in which, according to Mexican daily El Universal he compared the building of the border wall with that of the Berlin Wall.
Calderón also called the decision on the part of the U.S. to continue with the project “deplorable” and claimed that “it won’t resolve anything”.
Meanwhile, Mexican president Vicente Fox is calling the wall “useless and shameful”, and went on to say:
“I think this is shameful for the U.S. and proof of its inability to see the immigration issue as one of mutual responsibility.”
