My neighbors are disrespectful? What should I do?

Well, I have these neighbors that always climb over our dividing fence whenever we have a BBQ. They come over uninvited and eat all of our food. What is worse is that they invite their family members as well to jump over and eat. Once they have had their fill, they quickly jump back to their side and leave. This happens all the time. I tried talking to them but they won't listen. I built a larger fence but they still climb over.

What should I do? Help!

PS- I am mexican by the way.

Update:

You guys! This question was a metaphor for our current mexican border problem!!!!

    Wow I dont know what you can do. I guess all you can do is talk to them about it. Invite them or plan the party when you think they are away. Or stop having outdoor BBQs. You can have parties inside the house and lock the doors to keep them out.

    You might want to consider moving. I would maybe go to your local police station and ask to speak to a police officer about an issue with your neighbors and ask them what you can do. You need to make it clear to the police that these people are uninvited and always CLIMB your fence and eat ALL your food then leave and they do it every time you have a BBQ. Maybe you can call the police next time they 'drop by'.

    Omg... That's so not right. That is disrespectful. They sound like freeloading animals. Do you talk to them and get along? If so it sounds like there taking advantage of you. Don't let people walk all over you don't be scared to say something when they climb the fence to freeload. Tell them they gotta put in on some food if they wanna eat when you bbq or just tell them there not eating your food and nobody invited them. Your Mexican but what are they? If all that fails buy some barbwire and wire the fence up real good. BTW I'm so serious.

    I can hardly believe that . That is sick. Do you have enough money to hire a security guard the next timeyou have a bbq? He can tell them that it is a private celebration and they need to get off private property.

    get a dog put a beware of dog sign ( the dog don't have to be mean) but they don't know that no one will jump over a fence with a dog on the other side

    I'm sure you could go down to your local Home Depot and get a handy-dandy flamethrower.

    That way you can have your bbq meats done super-fast, while still keeping those unwanted neighbours at bay.

    Call the police next time and have them thrown off your property. If they do it again bring them up on charges of trespassing.

    I dont know but I remember my neighbors having a cook out with their family, cousins uncles they would tell me and my sister to go home she would use our last name and kids go home .I have never forgotten how mean they were to me and my sister It was,nt like we were going to eat alot.My parents never cooked out when we were younger but they had a bbq pit that my father built and have must have used it on etime or another before we were born,Kick your neighbors out! call the police and tell them you have unwanted guest they will do the rest its trespassing.

    I believe a simple "no" or "get off my property" will suffice. They'll probably get pissed off, but who cares? They don't care about how you feel when they trespass on your property, so you shouldn't give a damn about them either.

    just have your BBQ and tell them there is nothing left to eat tell them to bring some food and you will cook it for them if they let you have some of it.
