A bit of side irony is Mexico's presidente elect Felipe Calderón calling for "A border that unites two nations allows the free movement of labor but is closed to drugs, guns and criminals" He said this while in Guatemala, a country that Mexico keeps at bay by controlling its shared border with military means.
Mexico claims the new wall will harm relations, truth be told it will harm Mexico's corrupt laissez faire policies, instead of people clamoring over the border they will be clamoring for change, something the ruling families of Mexico aren't ready to allow. I think the wall, if built, will lead to more Chiapas style rebellions.
