Heute erscheint in der NY Times ein Artikel: "Some in Mexico See
Border Wall as Opportunity". Es enthält vieles, was hier diskutiert
wird. Aber im Gegensatz zum Beitrag von Ralf Streck, werden hier auch
sehr interessante Ansätze aufmerksam gemacht. Größter Kontrast: Es
werden auch einige Lösungen aufgezeigt. Diese sind aber nicht nur
schwarz-weiß, ich-böse-du-gut, sind, sondern wesentlich
differenzierter.

"For too long, Mexico has boasted about immigrants leaving, calling
them national heroes, instead of describing them as actors in a
national tragedy," said Jorge Santibáñez, president of the College of
the Northern Border. "And it has boasted about the growth in
remittances" — the money immigrants send home — "as an indicator of
success, when it is really an indicator of failure.........
.......In his (President Fox) public remarks in Utah, he recognized
that Mexico must do more to create jobs "so migration becomes a
decision and not a necessity," and he conceded that it was the right
of the United States to take steps to fortify its borders.......
......."The more walls they build," said Mr. Calderón, of the
conservative National Action Party, "the more walls we will
jump.".......
"It's fantastic," said Primitivo Rodríguez, an immigrant activist in
Mexico, when asked about plans to build walls. "It's the best thing
that could happen for migrants, and for Mexico."
Mr. Rodríguez, who has served as an adviser to the Mexican government
and an organizer in the United States for the American Friends
Service Committee, said the porous border had for years been an
important safety valve of stability for Mexico's economy, allowing
elected officials to avoid creating jobs and even taking legal
measures to stop the migration of an estimated 500,000 or more
Mexicans a year."
