Maybe They Can Send Hans Blix to Inspect the Fence

Here's proof that politicians outside this country are just as dumb as the ones here...

Mexico's foreign secretary said Monday the country may take a dispute over U.S. plans to build a fence on the Mexican border to the United Nations.

Luis Ernesto Derbez told reporters in Paris, his first stop on a European tour, that a legal investigation was under way to determine whether Mexico has a case.

The Mexican government last week sent a diplomatic note to Washington criticizing the plan for 700 miles of new fencing along the border. President-elect Felipe Calderon also denounced the plan, but said it was a bilateral issue that should not be put before the international community.

(hat tip: Captain's Quarters) Well, at least Calderon's actually got a brain. What, exactly, would the UN do to stop the border fence? Threaten to pass a resolution condemning us? Maybe they would send us a nasty note or an email chain letter.

Then again, we might have a way that the UN could be less popular in the U.S. and be seen as a less effective. This could pave the road to sending them packing from all that plush and expensive NYC real estate... hey, is there any way we can help the Mexicans file this protest?
