Hey, guess what!
Mexico doesn't want all those uninvited Guatemalans coming up from down south. So...what did they do you say? They have built a wall! Take a look...

It almost blends in with the desert environment...NICE! However, a wall on the US side would be absolutely horrid. The best part of the story is that the entire country of Guatemala could move to Mexico and that would still be a little more than the amount of Mexicans that have illegally come to the US.
Now the next question should be...why do Guatemalans want to go to Mexico? Mexicans are trying desperately to get out...

Whoa! Let me get this straight. Guatemalans are going to Mexico in many cases to pick Mexican fruit that Mexicans don't want to pick because the conditions with which they are expected to work are not good enough and thus they go to the US to pic our fruit. This is a fantastic definition of irony as well!
Now, if large hard working swaths (because these are hard working people) are leaving your country, what is the likelihood that your country will evolve?

The thing that really gets to me is the opposition to a wall on the US-Mexico border by the Mexican government. This article was back in 2005...

Guess what Mexico is doing about this time...building their own wall on the Mexico-Guatemala border. However, were the family ties of Guatemalans in Mexico a concern for the Mexican government? Apparently not... Were they concerned about the effect on the Guatemalan culture? Apparently not... Were they concerned about the Guatemalan rights and their communities within Mexico? Apparently not...
What makes this wall acceptable if a wall on the US-Mexico border isnt?

Don't let it get to you. That is the nature of governments and the world political system > Let those who contribute economically in and repulse those that drain the system.
