MEXICO UPSET AT US AGAIN

Mexico's Congress (there's a Mexican Congress? Evidently yes.) Anyway, they're upset because they say our border fence has gone 10 yards into Mexico. Fine...perhaps we should file a complaint because 12 million of their citizens have gone several miles into our country? I guess that doesn't count. So what are we going to do about this border dispute? Perhaps we should've filed a request for an easement with the Mexican consulate ahead of time.

The alleged violation has taken place at the border with Arizona, where the Mexicans are complaining workers and equipment have strayed into their space. The U.S. Ambassador has released a statement saying "The US is sensitive to Mexican concerns.....and has the deepest respect for the integrity of the sovereignty of Mexican soil." We do? Well, we shouldn't....they have no respect for our border, so why should we respect theirs? But fear not...there will be high level talks soon. Condoleezza Rice will be in Canada to meet with her Mexican counterpart to talk about border security.

It's funny how in all of Mexico's complaining about the United States, nobody ever asks them why millions of their people flee their country every year. I mean, really...you'd think they'd be a bit embarrassed. Evidently not. At any rate, we should tell them to take their complaint and shove it. Besides, what are they going to do? Nothing, of course.
