This Says Everything...

...about the state of border security (H/T Michelle Malkin):
Part of a vehicle barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was erected in the wrong country and soon will be removed and rebuilt on American soil, federal officials confirmed Monday.

"We respect our international boundary, and we want to be good neighbors," U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Friel told The Associated Press. "...We want to move quickly to ensure that we place the vehicle barrier where it should be, which is north of the border."

At least there is some place on the border that has a boundary. Even if we managed to, uh, annex a portion of Mexico for the past several years.

Gotta love this though:

"Mexico had indicated that it is not appropriate for this type of United States structure to be located in Mexican territory, and we agree," said Sally Spener, a spokeswoman for the commission.

On Monday, Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said it has sent a diplomatic note to the United States protesting the barrier.

"Our country will continue insisting for the removal (of the fence) to be done as quickly as possible," the Foreign Relations Department said.

Yes, Mexico is lecturing the United States as to what is and what is not appropriate.
