MEXICO CITY – Mexico, supported by 27 other nations, made a declaration at the Organization of American States on Wednesday, slamming U.S. plans to build hundreds of miles (kilometers) of fence on its southern border.
The declaration, read out at the OAS headquarters in Washington, said the barriers would not solve the immigration problem and urged the U.S. government to rethink its position, according to press releases from the OAS and Mexican foreign ministry.
The 28 nations express “deep concern regarding the decision adopted by the United States of America to build and extend a wall on its border with Mexico, considering it to be a unilateral measure that goes against the spirit of understanding,” it said in the declaration, which was read out by Mexico's Ambassador Alejandro Garcia Moreno.
The United States refused to sign the declaration, with its Ambassador Robert Manzanares saying it could not attack a decision made by its legislative bodies, according to the OAS release.

 In my opinion, Mexico is building a wall of resentment by meddling into America's policies. |
