#1 "We really havenât heard anything," said Reynosa police officer Roberto Cantu Aregulline. "Weâre continuing our protection like always."

What "protection"? Mexico is only a transit point, so there's no real reason for them to pay any attention to what's going on in their backyard. Whatever passes for border control in Mexico along the border with the U.S. is a joke. If terrorists are sneaking through, why should they care? As for their own citizens illegally crossing the border, well, with all the money they send back, shooting themselves in the foot would be rather stupid...

#2 "Manana". Yep. If a team slips through the border and causes any havoc, be sure to understand the border will close tighter than you ever thought possible. All those unemployed will stack up on your side of the border trying unsuccessfully to get north will turn into the tinder long needed to burn out the corruption and xenophobia that is the governing body of Mexico. No politician on this side of the border will be in any position to bail you out then. Sleep well and put it off till manana.

#3 I guess we need to stop considering Mexico sovereign territory anymore and operate there if we need too. Same for Canuckland.
