Mexicans fear US border control will lead to human rights violations
at 2:32 PM ET

[JURIST] The Mexican
government [official website] is concerned that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's
"Operation Linebacker," a pledge of $9.7 million to beef up security along the US-Mexico border, will lead to human rights violations. In a statement released

to combating crime on both sides of the border, but fears that militarizing the
border will lead to violations of humanitarian law [ICRC backgrounder]. Perry's "Operation Linebacker" [overview; press release] will provide the Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition with $3 million to hire additional deputies, $3 million for overtime pay and $3.7 million for other initiatives. Mexico also called for the US to establish new mechanisms that would allow legal migration that respects human rights."
