TIJUANA – Mayors from across northern Mexico formed a new organization yesterday to push border issues higher on the Mexican government's agenda.
Ten mayors from mostly northwestern border cities created the Association of Northern Mexico Border Municipalities after a two-day meeting at the Camino Real Hotel in Tijuana.

“Here at the border we feel abandoned by the rest of the country because they don't understand our problems. We as a bloc need to make more noise,â€

these mayors want to give policy to America. If they don't want the illegals returned to their areas. they should have their government arrange for pickup and taking the illegals to other areas. they are worried because the illegals are criminals. why should america have to worry about criminals who are illegals. The countries from which they come should have to deal with them and not have america taking reponsibility for them. We shouldn't have to pay the bill for other countries.
