Make sure you read the whole thing. Later in the piece, it talks about how Mexico is now arguing that the water is creating "wetlands" for birds, and that therefore it would be an environmental issue to cut the water off. These people are unbelievable.
I think Mexico needs serious co-dependency counseling.
Naturally, the new mayor of LA will be loudly against lining canals.
It's about Mexico integrating with the US and the growing assumption below the Rio Grande that they can tell us what to do and when to do it. Why not? So far, it's worked like a charm.
NAFTA was just the first step in complete integration with Mexico. "Mexico are belong to us now" - with its millions of illiterate peasants, corrupt politicians, narco-traffickers, and burgeoning population growth - to assure that by mid-century the North American economic zone with have a population of 500,000,000.

At some point in time, did we adopt Mexico? Every time I read about Mexico's demands on the U.S. I wonder if I might have missed the adoption process. That's the only thing that would make us responsible for taking care of them. I will never cease to be amazed at their unmitigated gall. It's time we take Vicenti Fox to the woodshed! He needs a good ole' fashioned a$$ beating.
