Illegal US Crossovers Ruffle Mexico

Mexico, Feb 22 (Prensa Latina) Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa admitted that US workers on the border wall entered Mexican territory in the limits between Arizona and Sonora, local press informed Thursday.


Faced with graphic evidence, the minister recognized at the Chamber of Deputies the crossing over was due to the border wall construction, which Mexico rejects.



The incidents, which occurred Sunday and Monday, were kept secret by the Felipe Calderon government until several deputies denounced them at the congressional session yesterday, providing photos of the US workers in Mexican territory.



Media comments Espinosa was surprised at the accusation, and asked if that was due to negligence, complacency, or unawareness.



The minister informed the International Border and Water Commission between the two countries was asked to send a note to the US counterpart demanding to prevent such incidents from happening and, if necessary, request authorization.
