Ok, read this story... pay particular attention to the last sentence.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/americas/ ... index.html

"Mexico has long been sensitive by what it perceives as the United States encroaching upon its sovereignty. Such sensibilities are particularly heightened along the U.S.-Mexico border. "

EXCUSE ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yeah, the Mexicans have been very touchy ever since we sent General Pershing and his men across the border after Poncho Villa in the early 1900's. If I remember my history correctly we also invaded and occupied Monterrey, Mexico once.

Yes, but the problem is, we STOPPED invading... and, left.

I'm thinking the Mexican government is worrying about nothing. Unless we decided to take over Mexico City and call it Dallas South. But then they could just say, "See, I told you so."

Uh... Maybe it's a diversion to take minds off of the economic mutual interest USA and Mexico have in each other?... That is the large amounts of 'stuff', that 'accidently' make it over the border, to boost both economies... ?
