Mexican anger over US 'trespass'
BBC News ^ | 2/23/07 | BBC News

Posted on 02/23/2007 5:06:39 PM PST by melt

Mexico's parliament has condemned what it says is a border violation by US workers building a controversial barrier between the two countries. Legislators say workers and equipment building a section of the barrier have gone 10 metres (yards) into Mexico.

The alleged border violation comes ahead of a high-level meeting in the Canadian capital Ottawa.

US, Mexican and Canadian foreign ministers are to discuss border security and trade issues. Mexican legislators said they had photographs and video, taken on Monday, of the workers and heavy-duty construction equipment that showed them about 10 metres inside Mexico near the border city of Agua Prieta and the town of Douglas, Arizona.

The Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa said she had complained to the US authorities and that the men and equipment had been withdrawn.

They have no idea how well their complaint will be received here.

But their soldiers routinely cross the border with guns to protect drug shipments and we are expected by their government and by our own to ignore it.

lol..

They actually complain about some equipment sitting 30 ft inside their border.

While at the same time, they send their criminal immigrants thousands of miles into our borders.

Make you a deal. Take your 30 million criminal immigrants out of our borders, and we'll move our bulldozer.

I got a great email forward that will be very appropriate here.

The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants!

That would be 11 million less people using our gas.
The price of gas would come down.

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border.
When they catch an immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq

Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military.

Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it.
After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.

He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot.

This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.

Actually, I agree that this is a serious problem.

I have a suggestion that will prevent it from happening again in the future: Let's build a wall along the border. That will keep the Americans from going where they're not wanted... :-)

Tony Garza, the US ambassador to Mexico, and Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala are married.


How can an American diplomat marry into a foreign family that helps to both control and loot Mexico and not have a conflict of interest?

Well, since about 30 million citizens of Mexico are about 1000 miles into the United States, let's just call it even, shall we?

WoC Ersatz News is reporting that DOJ will bring charges against the construction crew and is seeking Mexican witnesses; offers SS cards, stipends in exchange for testimony.

That's funny Melt.

Do you remember the Frito Lay logo character the Frito Bandido? If he came to life he would look just like that!

I loved the Bandido that you stuck on the end of your pencil.
It was like jamming the pencil up his....

Gee, if you tried to market something like that today, Maldef, Lulac, and LaRaza would arrest you and deliver you to Johnny Sutton for further processing.
