MEXICO CITY - The debate over illegal immigration via Mexico into the United States took two new turns Wednesday, after President Vicente Fox warned that a proposed U.S. border fence would fall just like the Berlin Wall and Mexico’s human rights commission said it would distribute 70,000 border crossing maps in a bid to prevent immigrant deaths.
The U.S. was swift in denouncing the move to hand out the maps. “We oppose in the strongest terms the publication of maps to aid those who wish to enter the United States illegally,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
Meanwhile, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a citizen border watch group, said it would use the maps to strategically place its teams of volunteers to better report illegal crossings to the U.S. Border Patrol.
