Mexico tells Texas to lay off the National Guard — or else

Mexican president condemns Texas’ decision to deploy National Guard along border

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto says Texas’ decision to deploy National Guard troops along the border is “unpleasant” and “reprehensible.”

Last month’s deployment had previously drawn Mexico’s ire. It says the border should not be militarized and issues should be solved jointly.

In an interview with the newspaper El Universal published Friday, Pena Nieto said Texas’ move could affect bilateral relations.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has criticized border security and suggested last month that Islamic terrorists could be entering the U.S. from Mexico, a charge Mexico has dismissed as “absurd.”

Let’s see: Boko Haram, ISIS or al Qaeda having to get their ankles moist via the Rio Grande, or trying to enter via other methods?  I think I know the answer of ISIS et al.  Besides, it’s already occurred.  And the feds themselves are warning of Islamist border incursions!  There is already clear evidence of Muslims having entered the US via our southern border.

Nieto is perturbed that his citizens cannot cross the border in order to acquire their share of Free American Cheese and either stay or come back readily.  Clearly, it is onerous to enforce one’s borders and attempt some semblance of sovereignty.

Sorry Mr Nieto; you’re dealing with Rick Perry, and he doesn’t much care for hypocrisy.
