Mexico sends first ever aid convoy to U.S.
Food, supplies, doctors come north in gesture fraught with symbolism, irony
A nice gesture since Mexico has been on the receiving end of our aid many times.

LAREDO, Texas - A Mexican army convoy crossed into the United States on Thursday to bring aid to hurricane victims, becoming the first Mexican military unit to operate on U.S. soil since 1846.
The 45-vehicle convoy was carrying water treatment plants and mobile kitchens to San Antonio, where the soldiers apparently planned to feed and provide other help for evacuees from the New Orleans area.
The first green trucks, with Mexican flags attached to the sides, crossed the international bridge at Laredo at about 8:15 a.m.

Muchas Gracias, Mexico?! 
More like we'll go ahead and take 10,000 illegal immigrants off you tab from the millions but thanks anyways. It's the least they could do.
For this one story of good faith we could have easily posted a similar story titled:
'Mexico sends 10 million workers to fill American jobs'
Don't get me wrong... I think this is the first time Mexico has ever given us something we truly need. It is MUCH appreciated but not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things regarding Mexico.
But yeah, the EU offering aid was unexpected and much appreciated.
