We Should Start “Crossing” Into Their Border Too
Texas law enforcement officers faced off with men dressed as Mexican Army soldiers and apparent drug suspects near the U.S.-Mexican border Tuesday, after three SUVs attempted to flee state authorities, officials said.
Andrea Simmons, an agency spokeswoman in El Paso, told The Associated Press that Texas Department of Public Safety troopers chased three SUVs, believing they were carrying drugs, to the banks of the Rio Grande during Monday’s incident.
Men dressed in Mexican military uniforms or camouflage were on the U.S. side of the border in Texas, she said.
Simmons said the FBI was not involved and referred requests for further details to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin of Ontario, Calif., reported Tuesday that the incident included an armed standoff involving the Mexican military and suspected drug smugglers. The incident follows a story in the Bulletin on Jan. 15 that said the Mexican military had crossed into the United States more than 200 times since 1996.
I wonder why all the liberals who are going absolutely nuts because of an attack on a terrorist get together in Pakistan because it happened inside another “sovereign nation” aren’t going nuts over incursions on our own border?
Immigration is one of many issues that will force me to not vote for many politicians in any elections. I’m sick of every elected official doing nothing for fear of angering the damned hispanic vote.

I wrote about the “incursions” a couple of days ago. Our border patrol agents were basically told to cower in the shadows until the bad, bad men left. Nothing about getting on the radio to call in the national guard or US military. This administration has no national pride when it comes to Mexico. None whatsoever.

Actually, one of the vehicles was caught. All of the drugs on the vehicle were seized. A vehicle that got stuck in the Rio Grande River was torched before it could be captured.
The US asked the Mexican government to investigate any military involvement. The investigation turned up nothing. But that’s kinda like asking Tony Soprano to investigate a crime in his basement.
