MEXICO CITY - Mexico will suspend its plan to distribute maps to migrants wanting to cross the U.S. border illegally, but an official said Thursday the decision was not made because of American pressure.
Miguel Angel Paredes, spokesman for the federal Human Rights Commission, said the decision was made because human rights officials in border states expressed concern that the maps would show anti-immigrant groups where migrants likely would gather.
On Wednesday, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the United States opposed the plan "in the strongest terms."
If you did that you would be in more trouble than you can possibly imagine. Illegals, smugglers, and the Mexican Military are protected species here on the border. That is odd to me because US Citizens, especially the Border Patrol and LE officers are the most endangered species here, yet our government does not choose to protect them.
Decided on GPS instead?
