Crocodile tears all around. A group of contractors constructing our new border fence accidently wandered 10 meters into Mexico. And the Mexicans are furious.

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Minister Patricia Espinosa said she had complained to the US authorities and that the men and equipment had been withdrawn.

So where do we complain when Mexicans cross our border? We’ve got pictures and video too. The only difference is, when Mexicans invade our soil, they don’t stop at 10 meters.

Naturally, our “leaders” puckered up and kissed the Mexicans’ you-know-what.

In a statement, the US Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza said: “The US is sensitive to Mexican concerns… [and] has the deepest respect for the integrity of the sovereignty of Mexican soil”.

Anyone ever heard the saying, “Respect is a two way street?”
