What a hoot! The Mexican government's all upset because US fence contractors appear to have stepped ten yards into Mexico. It's not a problem, though, if Mexicans step ten thousand yards - or even more - into the USA. The hypocrisy is absolutely stunning.
Many Mexicans see the fence as offensive and say it will be ineffective and potentially cause more deaths in border crossings.
An estimated 1.2 million illegal immigrants were arrested in 2005 trying to cross into the US via the border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
Darn. If the see the fence as "offensive", then maybe they shouldn't go anywhere near it. All that most of us see as "offensive" is the continued disrespect by Mexican nationals and their government for the laws of their neighbor to the north.
