Calderon of Mexico: No to Wall Across Border to Keep Mexican Immigrants in Mexico

Well, there is something interesting to report out of Mexico's purported winner of the presidential election, conservative Calderon.

In making what may be an unusual break with the Bushies on the immigration debacle, he said it would make far more sense for the U.S. to help fund a major interstate roadway system within Mexico to allow Mexican workers to get more expediently to jobs within their own country than it would be to erect a massive U.S.-Mexico border wall. This I heard on either CNN or NBC tonight (sorry, not sure which and did not see the reference online tonight while looking for it).

On that point, I'd agree. The border wall makes zero sense.
