NOGALES, Mexico – Residents here say the U.S. border wall
construction has intruded twenty meters onto Mexico’s land and are urging a
halt to the construction of the U.S. Apartheid Border Wall, being fought by
Indigenous Peoples all along the US/Mexico border.
The Nogales site is located west of the Mariposas international border
crossing at Nogales, which is south of Tucson.
“A serious problem has resulted from the all powerful program to construct
the 'Wall of Shame' by the U.S. government in this border,” said concerned
residents Teresa Leal and Alejandro Castro in a statement.
The news comes as Homeland Security Michael Chertoff plans to view the
SBInet spy towers on the Arizona border on Thursday. Boeing's spy towers
still are not functioning.
Calling it an invasion of Mexico, Leal and Castro said, “In Nogales, Sonora,
they have flagrantly moved the International Boundary obelisk, which marks
the boundary of our national geography in the area of Las Mariposas, about 3
kilometers west of the Gate No. 3."
