Well, if we didn't notify them that we were building the wall, then we probably should have done so. I'm not buying that it is on Mexican soil, nor do I think that any flooding is our fault.

However, it's only being good neighbors to let them know that the new wall was built so they could evaluate it's effects on their precautions to deal with flood waters.

If we didn't notify them, I wouldn't bother apologizing at this point, because that might be seen as accepting blame where none exists. However, it would be good to try and notify them of such things in the future.

It is on the Mexican side by about 10 feet. Tucson’s Channel 13 ran video last night. They said, when asked about construction of the wall, that the Border Patrol did not answer their questions.

This article’s statement of fact regarding construction should probably be taken with a grain of salt...

I can’t believe Mexico wasn’t consulted. That’s what half the fuss was over when this was passed, that DHS insisted on consulting Mexico over everything. I think Mexico is doing what they do best, whining.
