We're from the Government, and We're Here to Help You

CANOE -- CNEWS - World: Border fence accidentally built on Mexican soil: "COLUMBUS, N.M. (AP) - The 2 1/2-kilometre 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 U.S. government more than $3 million to fix."

I like that "it will cost the U.S. Government" bit, as if we taxpayers are off the hook.

Why don't we just claim that land. We've done it before. What's Mexico going to do about it?

Leave it to the Cap'n to come up with a sensible solution.
