Nuevo Laredo quagmire offers shelter of hurrican victims

AP via CBS News:

Mexico, coming to its powerful northern neighbor's aid for the second time this month, promised to set up shelters for those left homeless by Hurricane Rita and offered medical care, water and vehicle escorts to Mexican-Americans fleeing the storm.

Nuevo Laredo Mayor Daniel Pena ordered police officers to guide the evacuees, most of whom avoided shelters in the United States after the chaos that dominated Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath.

It was the second time this month Mexico has come to the aid of the United States. After Katrina devastated much of the Gulf Coast, Mexico sent an army unit to Texas and a navy ship to Louisiana to bring aid to the storm's victims. It was the first time in at least 159 years that a Mexican military unit was allowed to operate on U.S. soil.

On Friday, as Hurricane Rita headed toward Texas, more than 3,000 cars had purchased temporary permits to cross into Mexico. The majority were legal residents or U.S. citizens, and almost all planned to stay with family or friends in Mexico until the storm passed.

I guess the drug gangs muct have declared a storm truce.
