Thank you Graham for the reply, just seems an odd clue or we have given an incorrect answer

[HowardKennitby]

does the 'M' of ARM match with 'HEM'?

[Mamyalynne]

THE Mexican border??

[sandyRoe]

She's got it!! ^ By George she's got it. :-)

[shooty]

Please tell me, I havn't got it yet and its getting to me ?

[grahamr888]

Yes the 'M' of ARM does match with the 'M' of HEM, Thank you

[Mamyalynne]

[sandyRoe]

The clue should have read, or does read, coming from tHE Mexican...

[shooty]

Thank you Sandy as that also makes sense, but Graham has confirmed the full clue :

Yes this is the whole clue :)

2d) Coming from Mexican border (3)

[Mamyalynne]

[boxtops]

[shooty]

Maybe the northern scot should check for typo's before publication as your suggestion makes complete sense mamya

[Mamyalynne]

I am up for some proof reading if they need anyone :-)

[shooty]

Watch out for the IR if you're thinking of doing a bit of moonlighting : )
