Default A current border event that need not be political

I just could not pass up the opportunity to post this article for discussion without inciting a political debate.

Most know about our immigration situation...like it or not....agree or disagree is not the point of this post.

The point of this post is to show the flagrant differences in approach to border control....using the same borders and the same people:

A fee to go into Mexico? Pilot program underway - 10News.com KGTV ABC10 San Diego

After I read it I could not stop laughing. On one hand there is a philosophy that supports an open border with little control reqired. By the other involved country they have among the strictest border control to a point where visitors must pay to come in.

Given the state of the two countries involved I just find it absolutely comical, discouraging and depressing all in one.....so I chose to laugh.

Maybe this should be posted in the for fun forum

Please walk the fine line of staying away from a political foray and cast your opinion/comments.
