Angry that six years of lobbying effort aimed at an immigration reform that would allow millions to cross into the United States legally, the Mexican government sent a diplomatic note to Washington criticizing the plan for 700 miles of new fencing along the border. Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez called it an “offense” and said his office was considering suing the United States.
“We have an easement right to enter the United States,” Derbez said. “We will sue!”
An easement is the right of use over the real property of another. Another term for easement is equitable servitude. The right is often described as the right to use the land of another for a special purpose. Unlike a lease, an easement does not give the holder a right of “possession” of the property, only a right of use.
In most of the United States, using someone else’s property, for example, for ingress and egress over a certain number of years, regularly and without the consent of the property owner, can give the user the right to continue using the property for the same purpose for as long as the user wishes. This method of acquiring an easement is called a “prescriptive easement” or “easement by prescription.”
Derbez is rumored to have put out feelers to John Edwards to see if he will take the case.
Ruben Aguilar, spokesman for President Vicente Fox, said that Mexico had ruled out suing. He added he was “confident” the additional fencing would never be built because the vote on a fence was “just election-year posturing.” “They have to sound tough going into the election,” Aguilar said. “Polls show 80% of the voters want a fence. After the election is over the normal conditions will reassert themselves.”
President-elect Felipe Calderon echoed Derbez’s anger, but disagreed that a lawsuit was the right approach. “Free migration is a human right,” Calderon asserted. “We will tear down this wall if we have to.”
