Clearly, we believe that they have been lying. I'm not anti-Mexico or anything. In fact, I basically lived there for short time. However, despite my enjoyment of their country, I doubt their government has the capacity to monitor fishing to an extent that would satisfy international rules.

I tend to agree. And to think they have people monitoring all of their fishing boats seems a stretch, at best. However, the WTO seems to agree, but world entities tend to lean towards everybody but the US. It seems it's the old "The US is rich, so they can afford it." mentality.
