“Many adults in Mexico think one of the proposals aimed at curbing illegal immigration into the United States will be unsuccessful, according to a poll by El Universal. 89 per cent of respondents believe the proposed border fences will be fruitless.
Last month, the Pew Hispanic Center calculated the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States at somewhere between 11.5 million to 12 million.
In December 2005, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that calls for the construction of a new 1,100 kilometre fence on the U.S.-Mexico border. The proposal also seeks to make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally or to help an undocumented person stay in the country. 76 per cent of Mexican respondents say crossing illegally into the U.S. should not be a crime.”
