Hypocrisy

Post by dwight92070 » Mon Jan 30, 2017 9:04 am

Why is it okay for Mexico to build a wall between their country and Guatemala, but if Trump does it, he is a racist? What is it now, over 60 countries with walls and/or fences?

Over 800,000 illegal aliens have committed crimes in this country. Rape, murder, drugs, child trafficking, etc. One out of every 7 felons in Colorado is an illegal alien. And the Democrats want more refugees and other illegals?

Illegal Americans in Mexico go straight to jail. Second offense? Ten years in a Mexican jail!

Are you saying that Mexico has built such a wall, or intends to build such a wall?

Timios,

Good question. I heard from a man who almost always checks his facts before reporting anything that Mexico has already built a wall along it's southern border with Guatemala. However, just today I was talking to another man who also seems trustworthy that no such wall has been built. So I will do some research to find out the truth.

To get you started in your investigation, you may want to check out the following sites:

I've seen a picture of a tall fence with watchtowers with guards with rifles on the Mexico border with Guatemala!

I suggest you look at the Wikipedia article. Although there is more security where the border is adjacent to a city, most of the border has no fences, watchtowers, or guards.

Wondering whether you all have found the answer yet. Is there really a wall across the southern wall of Mexico?

I'm also curious about the appropriate thing to do when you find out you have inadvertently passed on false information. What action ought you to take?

It appears the fence with the watchtowers is between Israel & the West Bank. So it appears that Guatemalans come into Mexico unfettered and try to make it into the USA often at the mercy of smugglers who abuse them.

Thanks for clarifying this.

Your concern for the Guatemalans is much appreciated. Too bad the Mexican government doesn't have the decency to share your concern and build that wall.
(from your first post) I've seen a picture of a tall fence with watchtowers with guards with rifles on the Mexico border with Guatemala!
Might is be the case that whoever showed that picture might be spreading misleading information? Is that of any concern?
