[history]
Mexico wants to help supervise a U.S. plan to fortify the two countries' common border and slow the flow of illegal migrants who cross illegally into Arizona.
The Arizona Border Control Initiative, launched Tuesday, will station at least 200 additional Border Patrol agents along the Mexico-Arizona border. Some 1,800 agents already man the area.

Thanks, but no thanks.
They can "supervise" whatever they want on their own side of the border.

"Geronimo Gutierrez, undersecretary for North American affairs at the Foreign Relations Department, said Mexico will ask to join U.S. authorities in overseeing the implementation of the new plan so as to better guarantee that the human rights of migrants heading north are respected. "Well if they don't make it across the border their "human rights" are mexico's problem not our's.

"He said border delegates from the Mexico's Immigration Institute and Mexican consulates in the United States have been instructed to keep a close watch on the border protection plan to ensure U.S. authorities are following international guidelines on repatriation of those migrants detained."Maybe the US should start keeping a "close watch" on mexico's treatment of border crossers on their southern border.
To: sarcasm
Heads up idea!! Mexicans will also want to be involved in an administrative process because they will be able to solicit bribes to circumvent the rules. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing the new plan will do that Mexico couldn't already do on its own. Mexico could stop the flow of criminals into the US if it wanted but it doesn't. The criminals send back $10 billion and Fox and his drug lord employers take a cut.

The only thing that's more ridiculous than this offer by the mexicans............................
Is that our president will probably think it's a great idea and propose a couple of billion dollars to get the plan started.

The initiative, which will run through September....What happens then, does the increased effort stop? Doesn't make sense, maybe it means the implementation will be completed in September.
As for the Mexican request, they just want, IMO, a quick route where they can complain about the 'inhumane conditions' the migrants are enduring.

So are you saying Mexico should do like North Korea and Cuba and forbit its citizens to leave if they want to do so?
