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Minister Patricia Espinosa said she had complained to the US authorities and that the men and equipment had been withdrawn.

Talking Logic

Reading the rules of Mexico I bet these guys are really into it. But, do you see the difference? They withdrew after they told them. How many times have we said WE DON'T WANT THEM. They stay. There is the difference between them and us. But, I really doubt if they were over. They just don't want a fence built. At least this lets us know they are doing a Great job.

Imagine that ! Maybe thats why they leave that place a cess pool, that way everyone will WANT to come here and no one will really want to be there.

I like the idea of building two fences with a huge ditch in between, we have alot of alligators here in Florida that we won't miss. We can go back to the fuedal mote system.

I don't blame Mexico ONE BIT . NO Country likes its borders violated. Now, maybe when we finally settle the problem of Mexico's being "violated" by ITS next-door neighbor, we could help some OTHER country. Anyone know of any country (nearby, if possible) whose borders are being disrespected by its neighbor? Anyone have any ideas how we can HELP? Any way that Mexico might be called on to 'help', now that we've re-established ITS sovereignty?

Right! Like they would ever allow a drain on their system the way the US does. They won't even give aid to their own citizens.
