Mexico Furious at the US

It's really tough to sympathize with this one -

Mexico has reacted furiously to a bill signed into law by the US this week that would fund a border wall and prevent illegal Mexican migrants from obtaining US driving licences.

President Vicente Fox said he would lodge a diplomatic complaint, and was considering complaints to multilateral bodies if Mexico could not unable to resolve the problem bilaterally.

...“Building walls doesn't help anyone build a good neighbourhood,” he said.

Now is it me or is the age-old adage "Good Fences make for Good Neighbors"?    Someone oughtta help Mr. Fox with that one.  If/when this wall goes up, I can't wait to hear protestors appropriate the ridiculously lame "apartheid wall" language from the Israeli/Palestinian barrier and apply it here.
