boogieman:Hey, the debris fell on the Mexican side. It would be illegal for our people to cross the border to pick it up!
calenel: The debris is certainly also on our side of the border, if not the US side of the wall. So Mexican illegals are crossing the border to clean up a mess that would otherwise cost us mucho $$.

The eco-whiner, whom you quoted, could easily have meant “Mexican side of the WALL,” which is how I read his quote. Could be he meant border. Doesn’t really matter since everything on the Mexican side of the WALL is effectively Mexico. In any case, Mexico is still paying for the cleanup, heh, heh.
The distance from the actual border varies as a function of terrain. it would be stupid to build directly on the border as Mexico, in a fit of pique, could just knock it down. And I am sure that they’re not going to build the wall in the middle of the Rio Grande, should they ever get to that part of the border.
