I'm not sure they'd be landing in Mexico - but in a place where the US
decided not to exercise it's sovereignty but which isn't "the other
side's", either.
It seems to me like a zone or area where both side have agreed (or
operate without an agreement) that neither side will exercise certain
prerogatives, making such areas customs AND immigration free zones.
That leaves only the "other laws" to be invoked if something happens,
and either side can probably do whatever is practical under the
circumstances. Maybe we have here a true sharing of sovereignty which
I didn't think was possible. Sharing through abstinence.
