Mexican prez-elect compares border barrier to Berlin Wall

During a press conference in Canada last week, Mexican president-elect Felipe Calderon compared the defunct Berlin Wall to a proposed fence along 700 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. “Humanity made a huge mistake by building the Berlin Wall and I believe that the United States is committing a grave error in building a wall on our border,” said Calderon who warned that the fence issue will “complicate” his visit in November to the White House.
