Mexico is upset about the open border:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Friday that Washington is taking steps to address Mexican concerns the U.S. is not doing enough to stop illegal weapons from being smuggled across the border and into the hands of brutal drug gangs.

A meeting here of attorneys general from the U.S., Mexico and six other Latin American countries focused on Mexican complaints weapons from the United States are fueling a wave of cartel-related executions and violent crime that is battering the nation.

“We are concerned about the number of weapons coming into Mexico and Central America illegally from the United States,” Gonzales said. “There is more that we can do, and we are looking to do, to try and stem the flow of illegal weapons into Mexico.”

Maybe they should build a fence.
