Why does the Mexican gov't have standing in American courts?

Sending the National Guard "will not stop the flow of migrants, to the contrary, it will probably go up," as people try to get into the U.S. in the hope that they could benefit from a possible amnesty program, Nunez said.
Yeah. The ONLY way to stop them is NO MORE AMNESTIES!

Juan Canche, 36, traveled more than 1,200 miles to the border from the southern town of Izamal and said nothing would stop him from trying to cross.

"Even with a lot of guards and soldiers in place, we have to jump that puddle," said Canche, referring to the drought-stricken Rio Grande dividing Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, Texas. "My family is hungry and there is no work in my land. I have to risk it."

I've been in Izamal several times. But I'm not responsible for the economic failings of Mexico; they and their gov't is. Straighten out that gov't and the economy will follow. There are countries more mountainous with less arable land than Mexico that are doing just fine.

"This is definitely not a militarization," said Aguilar, who also dismissed as "absolutely false" rumors that Mexico would send its own troops to the border in response.
Fine. Let 'em.

When are we going to Barbados? :-)
