The United States of America, historically a beacon of freedom for the world, discovered that it had no “Great Wall” anywhere in North America. So the Wise Men in Washington ordered that “The Great Gringo Wall” be built to keep out Mexicans who were walking across the open border.What do the Mexicans think about our wall? To say that they’re non-plussed is an understatement as Mexico's President has been telling his citizens that the time has come when they will say “you’re not a real Mexican if you haven’t climbed the Great Gringo Wall.”
