Latin leaders balk at US ‘wall’. The proposed 700-mile barrier is to be a big issue at Thursday’s North American summit.

“NOGALES, MEXICO – Some envision a wall. Others, a fence - or even a “virtual” fence of cameras, lighting, and sensors along the US-Mexican border. Whatever form it will take, the US is discussing, planning, and, in some places, already building it - much to the fury and frustration of neighbors south of the border.

As Mexican President Vicente Fox prepares to meet Thursday with President Bush and Canada’s new prime minister, Stephen Harper, in CancÚn, the proposed 700-mile, $2.2 billion barrier is a major point of contention - not just for the US and Mexico, but for the US and the whole region.”
