A US-Mexican wall

President Bush is looking to have Congress approve a border wall aimed at keeping illegal immigrants from slipping across the US-Mexican border. The Mexican gov't says that this wall is a sign of racism and xenophobia. They can hide behind that all they want, but here is the reason why they do not support the wall:
Mexico has a population of 106 000 000, many of whom are uneducated and poor. These are the people who choose to move to the United States by crossing the border. As a result, Mexico gets rid of these poor and uneducated people, meaning they are not a burden. But if there is a wall, then it is kind of hard for these people to leave.
But they can not say this as it is not politically correct.
