Mexico's President Vicente Fox is preparing to respond militarily to a group of U.S volunteers who plan to patrol the U.S.-Mexican border starting tomorrow, positioning more than a thousand troops nearby, according to an Arizona TV station.
"The Mexican military is on stand-by," reports NBC's Tucson affiliate KVOA. "One unit has about a thousand soldiers. They're located just across the border." Over the last week spokesmen for the border patrol volunteers, who dub themselves Minutemen, have said they will not attempt to detain Mexican illegals, but rather report them to the Border Patrol and track them till they're apprehended.
Despite the assurances, Mexican officials met with the mayor of Douglas, Arizona on Tuesday to discuss how they will handle potential violence, KVOA said.
Last week President Fox warned at a Mexico City press conference:
"We totally reject the idea of these migrant-hunting groups. We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure these types of groups, which are a minority, will not have any opportunity to progress."
"We will either open the borders completely or decide that enough is enough."
That's pretty much what all this is going to come down to (i hope) force the issue until action occurs. No more of this lets put it off till next year, or we'll get to it trash.

Paging General Pershing.
I've said all along Mexico needs a violent, bloody revolution to oust the ruling class that is deliberately keeping 90% in sh*thole poverty and exporting them to the USA.
Doesn't anyone see what's coming? Within the next 10-15 years tops...the U.S., Canada and Mexico will become the "North American Union". The disappearance of the borders is the first step...and it's the next step towards Global Government.
BWAHAHAHA! If there's that much snow along the border, the end is near!!!!
Northern Border mititia here in Michigan.
I used to think that people were tin-foil freaks for saying stuff like this.
No longer.
The second solution would create a few problems, but would be less headache in the long run.
I'm glad somebody agrees with me!
The Mexican government isn't sending their army to fight. Their job will be to transport the illegals around the Minutemen. They can't have the Mexican people getting backed up at the border, so they will get directed to a new crossing point.
Drop the BULL$#!T Bush - if you want the mexicans, then make it legal to cross the border without documentation. Otherwise back up the law!

You know what? Now that I stop to think about it, I think your are right. I may owe a few folks apologies for thinking them reactionary nut-cases.
"Those guys are true patriots for standing up to this absurdity. If anything happens to them I think we need to revisit the halls of Montezuma."
Won't be long before Mexico sues the US Marine Corps. to change those song lyrics.
"Do we join with them? Losing some of our Soveriegnty in the process. Or do we get fed up with their BS and annex them?"
The merger of the U.S. and any other government would require a new constitution....that's been the goal for many years now. Our constitution has been trashed for so long...many Americans wouldn't notice a differance.
I would. A lot of us would. And no, we wouldn't sit still for such a thing.
Neither would I....but what is one to do? Civil War part 2?
ROTFLMAO!!
Yeah, wait until these clowns get within site of our guys! They'd be laughing too danged hard to be able to shoot!
Target rich environment, indeed!
QUESTION: Why is the mexican army amassing only 1000 men on the border?
ANSWER: They only have two cars.
