U.S. border fence protrudes into Mexico...What to do?

Yahoo News >>COLUMBUS, N.M. - The 1.5-mile barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was designed to keep cars from illegally crossing into the United States. There's just one problem: It was accidentally built on Mexican soil. Now embarrassed border officials say the mistake could cost the federal government more than $3 million to fix.<<
>>When the barrier was built in 2000, the project was believed to cost about $500,000 a mile. Estimates to uproot and replace it range from $2.5 million to $3.5 million.<<

What should we do? The Mexican gov can look the other way and in return, the US would agree to legalize a few thousand undocumented persons.

Answer:
piss on them they have no clue of what a BORDER is
Wrap it in gift wrap and give it to Mexico as a gift for all their help in stopping the drug and human trafficking across their northern border
mexican government isnt looking for the legalisation of illegals. Mexican government is looking for an immigration reform
No way. I'll pay more taxes. Bush spends more than that every day in Iraq.
mexico will not look the other way unless it is to ignore the fact that they are losing so many of their citizens to the U.S. as illegal immigrants. if the mexicans want the fence moved let them move it then we will put it back. why should we have to move it? are their arms broke? i think for every foot of fence we move we should also force American companies doing manufacturing in mexico to leave mexico.
The law say that if someone builds something on another persons property and they do not immediately complain, the other can not ask to have the object removed. My father's neighbors' wall reach into his property line, but we can't do anything until they know down the wall. Let's use that rule for now.
there is no mistake just the USA trying to exercise it s foreign policy by taking land that doesn't t belong to them just like they been doing for several hundred years.
If it was our mistake, then we should fix it. In the big scheme of things, three million bucks isn't that much. Heck, NBC wanted to pay Paris a million for an interview !

We should start sending Mexico the bill for all the border patrol and law enforcement we have to keep down there to stop their drugs and dirty people from coming in.
Leave it like it is....if Mexico doesnt like it, let them tear it down...THEN build another fence. But if Mexico is too lazy and indifferent to tear it down,..so what ?

Since when has Mexico EVER done anything that was not tainted by corruption?

Mexico should be grateful they got a free fence
It is BS article. 120 year agreed upon boundary all of sudden declared theirs? Where is their mapping? The boundry from 120 years ago? All of a sudden at a 1 ft to 6 ft is in question. Yeah right. Mexico is ticked. They want bribery money.
Use the money Mexico sends to the US to reimburse us for all the expenses of 25% of their population we have here illegally to fix it. LOL

Seriously.3 million in the grand scheme of things is nothing. I've heard it's a very small area and if it's that important to them..let them have it. Anything to stop this flow of illegals.
Well, since they are doing nada about their migrants sneaking into our border illegally, then we take a bit of their territory to have more space to fit them in. ; )
I way this immigration thing is going it looks like it might be another war with mexico soon things are getting scary.
I took law rural law in collage, and according to the law in the states, if the fence stood there for ( I believe) 10 years or longer , then the land belongs to who ever built the fence.

But this is international law, so not sure if the same rule would apply.


I think it is petty of the Mexican government to complain about the fence, when their military keeps entering into the U.S. illegally.
Screw them! Let them fix it. It was less than 90 years ago we had the Mexican/American war so consider it ours now.
My question is so what? Do they even know what a border is? Hey, if nobody tells them, what difference does it make?
By the looks of how many have crossed the border Illegally, I would say that the dont have a clue what a border is let alone WHERE it is...
