Mexican anger over US 'trespass'

Mexico's Congress 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.

Yeah - I'm just not understanding what Mexico's problem is. I mean, they're going to clime the barrier anyway....it'll just be 10 yards now and earlier instead of later.

wait till the spanish speaking become a majority in the south ... Pretty soon there ll be barriers within the USA.

That s the common point between the US and Israeli mentality, you love building walls, love feeling under threat ... scared
