Mexico's 'Sieve'-Like Border Creates Concerns After 9-11.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(NATIONAL ISSUE)
Byline: BRIAN MITCHELL
It's not the U.S. border, but it might as well be. It's Mexico's back door -- 600 miles of mountains and marshland separating Guatemala from Mexico's troubled southern states. Migrants from Central America cross it on their way north.
"You can see them floating across (the Suchiate River) any time of the day or night," said George Grayson, professor of government at the College of William & Mary.
The border leaks like a "sieve blasted by buckshot," he said.
Mexican President Vicente Fox has tried to tighten things up. But Mexico's border security is not even up to U.S. standards, which are nothing to brag about. And Fox's real interest is getting the U.S. to open up its back door to Mexico.
That brings him up against the post-Sept. 11 worry that opening the border will create a highway for more illegals, a market for ID fraud and a thousand ways around new safeguards to keep out Muslim terrorists.
