Mexico urged to act on border tunnels
WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | March 20, 2006 | Jerry Seper

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has asked the Mexican government to enact legislation to criminalize the construction or financing of border tunnels between the United States and Mexico.
In letters to Mexican President Vicente Fox and members of the Mexican Congress, the senators -- led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat -- said 40 tunnels into the United States have been discovered since 2001 and urged the Mexican officials to enact legislation to crack down on those involved.

"Our countries must continue to work together to address this problem by discovering and shutting down those who build, finance or use border tunnels for illegal purposes," the senators said, urging Mexico to enact legislation similar to a bill offered March 2 by Mrs. Feinstein to criminalize the construction or financing of border tunnels.
In addition to Mrs. Feinstein, the letter was signed by Republican Sens. Pete V. Domenici of New Mexico, Conrad Burns of Montana, Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Jim Talent of Missouri, and Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and Maria Cantwell of Washington.

Another law? Here's what I don't understand...

How can tunneling from one nation into another be anything but illegal?

Oh wait, there I go using common sense again...

Common sense - a virtue sadly MIA among the Washington crowd who are supposed to be representing us, but aren't.

So what would happen if the Mexican government found tunnels leading into Chiapas from Guatemala?

Guatemala City would be a smoking crater a couple of hours later.
