Mexico Halts Meat Imports Over Labeling. Fine Mexico, now as a gov't how about halting illegals crossing the border over something called the law.

From The Wall Street Journal:

Trade tensions between the U.S. and Mexico worsened as Mexico blocked imports of meat from at least 30 U.S. meat processing plants.

The move, which took effect Wednesday, came about a week after the Mexican government filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization about a new U.S. law that requires labeling the origin of fresh beef and pork imported to the U.S.

U.S. trade partners are concerned the country-of-origin labeling policy will encourage American consumers to favor U.S.-raised meat. The law, which was included in the 2008 Farm Bill and took effect Sept. 30, requires supermarkets or other food retailers to label or otherwise display the country of origin for meat, produce and certain kinds of nuts.
