Mexico Threatens Suits Over Guard Patrols

I've been so delinquent in blogging due to apathy, sorry...but this just gets me. The Mexico govt has the audacity to threaten us with lawsuits for enforcing our laws and borders.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - Mexico said Tuesday that it would file lawsuits in U.S. courts if National Guard troops on the border become directly involved in detaining migrants. Mexican border officials also said they worried that sending troops to heavily trafficked regions would push illegal migrants into more perilous areas of the U.S.-Mexican border to avoid detection.

So because we make it more difficult for them to cross, they're threatening to sue us...

Look, we need to truly be compassionate about the whole immigration process. I mean, if you have children raised as Americans, we really shouldn't force them back to their 'home' country. But then again, before we do any reformation, we REALLY need to be able to seal up the border as much as possible.
