It might be that people missed that this truck was not stopped on the US border, but in Chiapas, on Mexico's southern border. That's right, Mexican border officials actually stopped people from crossing a border illegally. Oh, well not crossing

in to the Mexican border. But it shows they have potential.
Notice also that the operation that caught the rats was called a "rescue" operation. Well, I feel a little "rescued". Good work Mexico. Now if they could only show similar enthusiasm for our efforts on our southern border.
