Folks, this is not so bad. It depends on how the administration interprets the word "consults". I would have expected any administration to consult with Mexico before building significant sections of wall. It is part of being a good neighbor, whether they are or not.
Remember that "consult" does NOT mean "ask for permission". For instance, a good parent always "consults" with their children before they are spanked.
Not to me and maybe not to you but what will it mean to the first federal judge to hear "the fence suit?"
"...a good parent always "consults" with their children before they are spanked."
Gee, do parents still do that these days?
I'm calling Childrens' Protective Services right now!!!

Do you consult your neighbor first?
The "consult" provision gives Bush a photo op meeting with Fox where Fox, with Bush's support, appeals to liberal guilt, MSM follows the line, some sheeple follow.
Bush and Fox and their elites will not be satisfied until there are no wage disparties on either side of the border.
I'd probably give the Mexican gov a heads up on basic info, however; I would not make it law.
It most certainly does. Consult=permission, that's what it means for the Nature Conservancy, the ACLU and every other liberal organization. Speaking of the NC, wait until you figure out their plans for MN, WI, MI, NY, and OH.
The funny thing is, when the GOP takes the sucker bet and is voted out of power this Nov, Speaker Pelousy and Senate President Reid is going to impeach and throw this whole miserable bunch into prison anyway. Jorge Dos, for all his efforts to suck up, will be the first impeached president actually removed. Start the tiny violins.
Cellmates of Skilling, indeed.
On the contrary, "consult" implies input and discussion, especially in a governmental setting. This is an opportunity for the Mexican governments at all levels to tie any progress on a fence up for years in court, claiming they were insufficiently consulted prior to building it. "Consult" gives them an implied right to review blueprints, construction plans, and raise objections at every point in the pathway.
No doubt there will be a string of lawsuits spawned by this measure, endless delays, and the result will be a fence 3 inches high with waterfountains and rest stations at no less than quarter mile intervals.
