Mexico planting 400,000 trees on border to protest fence (no, really)

Posted Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 10:35 am

Look for U.S. useful idiots to rush to get involved with Mexico's plan to plant 400,000 trees on the other side of the Texas border in order to protest the border fence. It sounds like a joke but it isn't, but one wonders how their "green wall" will stay green in a relatively parched environment. Perhaps they don't mean trees so much as shrubbery.

Eagle Pass mayor Chad Foster was at the symbolic start of the effort in Piedras Negras, Mexico.

Knew that would happen, anyway with tree you can build wood ladders and leap over the wall.

LOL! Well, if anyone's planning on climbing those trees to scale the fence, it'll be a long wait, at least. Hey, if the trees will miraculously thrive, I'm all for it. Great for the environment. And great entertainment.

If they plant them close enuf together we can take down the fence.

Nah, not for ladders, just providing a little shade before making the final hundred yard dash. Or to provide cover while shooting out Chertoff's virtual handicams.
