Mana Takes on US-Mexico Wall
 Prensa Latina
| | MANA is in Buenos Aires this week, and recorded a special program for Telefe TV. |
Buenos Aires - Mexican rock band MANA called the wall to be constructed along the Mexican-US border as a "brutality," Argentine press quoted Friday.
"We Latin Americans are the ones who put bread on the tables of US people, do the jobs many Yankees don't want to do, and we are the ones who, if we were out of the system, it would collapse immediately," said lead MANA singer and guitarist Pher.
"This is something inhuman and people cannot be treated like that," said Pher, commenting on the signing of the law authorizing construction of the wall by US President George W. Bush.
"If they build a taller wall, people will use higher ladders," said Pher ironically.
Pher's real name is Fernando Olvera, and he pointed out that more people die at the US-Mexican border than in Iraq, and said that California is the world's sixth economy, with 66 percent of its inhabitants from Mexico, Telam news agency reported.
It is expected that Mexican President Vicente Fox will denounce the polemic US legislation at the Ibero-American Summit in Montevideo, Uruguay, in November.
MANA is in Buenos Aires this week, and recorded a special program for Telefe TV. The group confirmed they would return to Argentina to present their latest CD "Amar es Combatir" (Loving is Fighting) in this country. |
