Hello,
While it is clear to me that the PHP Group is currently not accepting new mirrors in countries that already have a good list of established mirrors, I thought that I would still voice my opinion on the matter. Based on the research I have done of the mirrors located in the United States and Mexico, I have concluded that the servers are in such a configuration that there is no real central tie between the two countries. According to the service that I used to pinpoint the location of the IP addresses of the mirrors, a lot are apart. While this is good to provide fast loading for people on the East or West coast and near Mexico city, I believe the system can be improved.
The server location that I am proposing is a server located in Fort Worth, Texas. While it may seem one in this location is not necessary, I can see it as a fine location for people on the border of the United States and Mexico to connect.

I do expect failure from this request because the number of already established servers in the United States, but I feel the tie could help PHP.
