Mexico May Go To UN Over Fence

[Christina]

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. He said he discussed the issue with Douste-Blazy, and planned to bring it up in meetings with his Spanish and Italian counterparts during visits to Madrid and Rome. He vowed to work on the case until the "very last day" of President Vicente Fox's term, which ends Dec. 1. The U.S. Senate approved the border fence bill last month and President Bush has said he will sign it into law - despite last-minute pleas from the Mexican government for a veto. "What should be constructed is a bridge in relations between the two countries," Derbez said.

Hi Kriss,If we told people, twenty years ago, that we would have to go to the UN to protect our borders they would have thought we were insane!!Are we already a part of the one world goverment system?

We're already a part of a world governmental system. We already have to answer to the UN and now this. I guess we've lost our national sovereignty and we already know where the UN will side on this one.I have no respect for the United Nothing. It's comprised of nation states all as selfish as they accuse the others of being. They just pretend it's for the "greater good."

While nobody can tell which institution will be the one of the antichrist, the one which finally achieves the world union promised by past and present institutions will be the one. The first world union will be the last. It will bring the union that The Lord Himself shattered at the Tower of Babel. Since when is it wrong for a nation to control it's borders?
