Mexicans Prepare to Help Texans
In anticipation of Hurricane Rita, one of the most powerful storms on record that is expected to make landfall in Galveston, Texas on Friday, officials in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon are preparing to establish shelters near the countries' border in the event that they are needed. In addition, Nuevo Leon Governor Natividad Gonzalez sent a letter today to Texas Governor Rick Perry offering the assistance of Mexican medical and rescue crews.
In Nuevo Laredo, border officials noted that the volume of Mexicans returning from Texas began to pick up on Wednesday night and by Thursday morning, over 1000 people had crossed into Mexico.
