Mexico objects to alleged border incursion over fire

MEXICO CITY - Mexico has sent a diplomatic note to the United States objecting to an alleged incursion into Mexican territory by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Arizona trying to extinguish a fire, the country's Foreign Relations Department said Tuesday.

The incursion allegedly took place on Monday, as Border Patrol agents stationed in Sonoita were trying to quash a brush fire on the U.S. side that quickly spread into Mexico, the department said.

The Foreign Relations Department said it was notified of the incident on Tuesday by the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, which reported that the border agents immediately returned to their side of the border after the fire was out.

The Embassy did not release a public statement Tuesday.

"The Foreign Relations Department has expressed to the U.S. Embassy via a diplomatic note, its rejection of the incursion," the Mexican government's news release said.

"While the department recognizes that the incursion may have been a response to an attempt to deal with an emergency, as the U.S. Embassy states, it has reiterated ... that even during emergency situations, it is required, without exception, to immediately notify the Mexican authorities."

The complaint comes on the heels of another alleged border incursion late last month, when U.S. workers erecting border fences between Douglas, Ariz., and the Mexican border city of Agua Prieta, allegedly crossed about 10 yards into Mexico.

At that time, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza issued a statement promising to look into the incident and asserting that the United States "has the deepest respect for the integrity of the sovereignty of Mexican soil and for the importance of the border shared by our two countries."

I can't decide if I'm more disgusted with my own Government or theirs.

Dear Federale' de Mexico:

We consider the pourous incursions of the United States borders by the undesirable citizen element of your country to be objectionable. Unless your cooperation is recieved to control the unwanted and illegal immigration of your nationals into the sovereign territory of the United States of America, we will have no other recourse than to annex the Republic of Mexico as a U.S. territory.

Thank you for your immediate attention in this matter. Should you have need of historical references used to support this decision, please see May 13th, 1846.

Sincerely,


Your friendly neighbors to the North.

FUCK MEXICO! I say if those god damn people cannot control their own problems, turn that whole piece of shit country into glass. Tired of it. And yes, I'm back! So fuck you too!

so they bitch if we step a few yards into their country to put out a damn fire, that they should have let burn and hopefully it would have burned all of mexico up, but it's quite alright for all of them to be over here in the US illegally?? go figure

[Piggybank Cop]

You guys got it all wrong.

It’s all our fault.

So to prevent it ever happening again; lets build a fence, wall and mine field along the whole border so no nasty gringo ever, ever makes that mistake again.

We will also destroy any tunnels we find.





ps: I know it’s not the correct finger, but the feeling is there.

[Gatekeeper]

Yeah Fuck Em! Somone should restart the fire, and then respond with a gas tanker and a giant fan.

[Willowdared]

Two words.....Eminent Domain.

[JohnnyReb]

How about "Manifest Destiny "

[So Fla Cop]

I object to Mexico.

[KaiGywer]

ps: I know it’s not the correct finger, but the feeling is there.

Let me take care of that for ya

[Ducky]

Maybe we should have rounded up a bunch of illegals and put the fire out with them.

[JohnnyReb]

Guys, they were pissed because they were going to use the fire for a massive bean fry to feed their country!
