Mexico owes the U.S.A.!
Happy New Year! I had a little time off during the holidays and got to thinking (which often worries criminals) about the recent changes in federal legislation regarding homeland security.
It occurred to me that in all this new legislation, nothing has been mentioned about holding Mexico’s President Vicente Fox and his country responsible for failing to secure the Mexican borders. It appears to me that he is doing little or nothing to stop anyone in his country, or anyone entering his country, from freely crossing Mexico’s border into the United States.
Because of this, it seems to me that the United States should make Mexico fiscally responsible for the increased expense of securing our southern border and compensation to the victims of crimes committed by persons who came illegally into the United States through their “open” borders.
To accomplish this, I feel the United States government should seize Mexico’s assets located in the United States and use the money to pay for having to increase OUR border security, compensate the victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens who came in through (or from) Mexico, and to reimburse our jails for housing them!
What do you think about this idea?

Mexico has some spare change they could part with.
