Looks like another instance of the Mexican government acting to undermine American sovereignty.

Two Tucson-based immigrant-aid groups were expected to sign an agreement of hospitality with the Mexican government Tuesday evening.

Members of the Coalición de Derechos Humanos/Alianza Indígena Sin Fronteras and the faith-based No More Deaths movement were scheduled to sign the document, along with Jesus Lopez Quiroz of Mexico's National Institute of Migration and Enrique Flores Lopez of Sonora's State Commission for the Care of Migrants.

No More Deaths members say the agreement will formally allow the U.S.-based organizations to provide food, water, footwear and basic medical care to migrants on the Mexican side of the international border.

No More Deaths, which provides food, water and medical assistance to illegal entrants in distress on the U.S. side, has a new program of providing aid to migrants returned by U.S. authorities to Mexican ports of entry at Nogales and Agua Prieta.

The Coalición de Derechos Humanos/Alianza Indígena Sin Fronteras is a grass-roots organization that aims to promote respect for human and civil rights and fights what it calls the militarization of the southern border region.

When are we going to cut off aid to the Mexican government until it acts to stop, rather than assist, the violation of our border by its citizens? And will the American government take action against these groups that are clearly aiding and abetting the violation of American law?
