Deacon? Did I detect a racial remark from a man of the cloth? That if there was a narrow channel that Mexicans would flood into Belize. Shame on you.
Read Tim Jeffers, crackedup and my posts above. Also look at Chris photo.
The channel between Mexico and Belize is only 10 to 20 ft in many places as it passes through mangrove swamps. You can see that the Mexico only channel is around 150 ft or more. I have been through both channels with Mexican the military. If you had been through I doubt anyone would say it was done by a hurricane.
Belize has a Natl Park on the Northern end of AC both land and marine plus the security and drug issues mentioned in above posts . I would like to see a bridge to Mexico but I believe it has the same chance of happening as Hell or the channels freezing over.
