U.S. Border Patrol agents on the American side of the Rio Grande were forced to take cover Friday night when high-caliber weaponry was fired at them from the Mexican side of the river, sources told FoxNews.com.
The weapons were fired at the U.S. side of the riverbank in the area of the Rincon Peninsula across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico, at about 8:30 p.m., sources said. Bullets ricocheted into an area where Border Patrol agents were positioned, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told FoxNews.com.
Border Patrol sources confirmed Gohmerts account, and said the shots may have been fired by .50-caliber weapons.
We dont have any armor that can stop a .50-caliber round, so our Border Patrol agents had to take cover when the rounds were richocheting around them, said Gohmert, who has been in the area for the last week to get a first-hand look at the border situation.

They are restricted by the kenyan’s ignorant rules and small arms only. The mexi’s are using 50 cal rounds and have more troops. No sense in another Picket’s charge. Bring in hunter-killer teams and Apaches; fuck them up with some hell fire.
Stalin would constantly blame others for things he himself did. Historians consider this trait of his so reliable that they are comforatble assigning Stalin responsibility for some acts where there is no direct evidence anyone is responsible, except Stalin's own claim that someone else did it.
Historians will find that Obama is the same way. Everything he claims to have learned about on television will be found to have been a scheme of his own design and execution. We need to pay critical attention to what he is not paying attention to at all, because that is where he really is paying attention behind the scenes.
You’ve got the kind of attitude that wins wars.
Obama to coyotes, “Thanks for your help, we’ll take it from here.”
And as much as we disagreed with him, he was pro-American.
Back in 2006 a couple Border Patrol agents shot back and got ten years each for shooting a drum smuggler. They should have gotten medals.
So why wouldn’t they hesitate to defend themselves now if they have an even more illegal-friendly administration now? Why risk going to prison?
Helmet defilade and pass the diapers. It’s a shameful use and bad treatment of border troopers.
Now some Yahoo is going to say they were bad eggs; I say: “Shoot first, ask questions later.”

Unbelievably, Obama elected twice: Could someone please tell me how this liar and incompetent President of the United States named Obama could be elected president not once but twice---and, sorry to say,if he was legally able to run for a third term, he could probably win again---when it was obvious from day one to anyone who took the time to study his history that he was a born liar and incompetent politician.
I can't understand it.
A Black Hawk with a FLIR system and a couple of side mounted weapons would be all it takes to wax these guys. The cartels are not used to being on the receiving end. The cartel’s gunmen would collapse and run.
Pops was partial to the 2.75 inch rockets with flechettes...
Where’s Blackjack Pershing when you need him?
