It is *not* "occupied mexico" and has not been for over 150 years. The territory officially changed hands from the Mexican Govt. and became the property of the U.S. govt. Mexico recognizes U.S. ownership of these lands and has done so since the end of that war. -- Matt Who just remembered a random statistic saying something like: More people die attempting to cross the US/Mexico border each year than did attempting to cross the Berlin Wall during its entire existence. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
