Anyone else catch the irony here?

I found the following link to a news story and thought it was, well, ironic:

Mexican President Looks to Mend Fences

Heh.

I wish it were actually true, but the article is referring (of course) to the kerfuffle over Fox's statement that illegal Mexicans are doing the jobs in the US that blacks won't do... which got ole Reverend Jackson up in arms (or course).

No, how about let's actually BUILD some fences... all along the border... how about you keep all your people on YOUR side, Vicente El Presidente, instead of encouraging them to violate our laws by providing them with printed materials giving advice on how to cross our border successfully? Seems to me if you were doing YOUR job, muchacho, your country's people wouldn't feel the need to escape it. And maybe it's just me, but I'd personally be rather ashamed if I were the president of a country and my people were flooding OUT of it because it was such a crappy place to live.
