MEXICO CITY, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Mexico wants a full investigation by U.S. authorities on Friday into a shooting on the U.S. border that left three illegal migrants dead and two injured.

Mexico's Foreign Ministry said it had told the Mexican consulate in Tucson, Arizona, to ask local U.S. authorities to probe the attack by unknown gunmen, which took place on a back road often used by migrant traffickers.

The ministry requested "an exhaustive investigation" into the incident, it said in a statement.

Armed men stopped a bus full of people on the remote desert track near Tucson and began shooting at it, the ministry said. Police say the gunmen may have been bandits.

The nationality of the three dead men is still unknown, although the consulate in Tucson has identified the two injured as a Guatemalan woman and a Mexican man.

U.S. police officers found two of the dead bodies in a pickup truck in the desert some 20 miles (32-km) from Tucson on Thursday, and the body of a third man on a roadside nearby.

U.S.-Mexico relations over their 2,000-mile (3,200-km) border have been tense since gangs of U.S. vigilantes who call themselves Minutemen began staking out the border area in 2005 to hunt for illegal Mexican and Central American immigrants.

More than 1 million undocumented immigrants trek over the U.S. border from Mexico each year to search for work in a journey fraught with danger.

Last year more than 400 people died making the trip. Most of the fatalities were due to dehydration, drowning or vehicle rollovers, although attacks, rapes and robberies are common in the borderlands.

Mexico is in no position to demand anything from America.

So far there has been no violation related to the minutemen. Drug smugglers and other mexican leaders have violation related to them. Once again Mexico is trying to interfer with the US government.

The nationality of the three dead men is still unknown, although the consulate in Tucson has identified the two injured as a Guatemalan woman and a Mexican man.
Will Mexico send some of the fine,honest well trained police to help?

Bag the bodys and send them back
