Mexican troops cross border for hurricane relief
WISTV.com ^ | September 8, 2005 | Bryce Mursch

The Mexican army has entered the United States for the first time since 1846.

A military convoy crossed the Rio Grande into Texas Thursday to bring aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina. The unit is headed for San Antonio.

The convoy is carrying water treatment plants, mobile kitchens and supplies to feed storm victims.

The 45 green vehicles will apparently be used to provide water, meals and other help for hurricane survivors from the New Orleans area.

A Mexican naval mission is sailing for New Orleans. Mexico says another convoy and another ship are ready to go.

Back in 1846, Mexican troops briefly marched into disputed territory along the border with Texas which had joined the US ten years earlier.

Don't count on it ... . It might serve to lure more here.

Have they dropped their guns and headed for the CA DMV yet?

Typical what FreeRepublic as become. House divided. We have just lost an American city now we have armed Mexican troops in Texas. And as the Titanic sinks the band plays on.

How about their trash and waste on your land and floating down into a neighbor's drinking well?

It will go into my well before it goes into a neighbor's. My well is 325 feet deep into the lower trinity.

But hey, you don't care.

Correct, if my property was in Val Verde, or Webb, or one of the heavily trafficked areas, I probably would care, but it's not.

Until the powers that be do something to slow down the influx, we are going to have illegal immigrants in Texas, whether they are passing through, camping out, or crammed 20 people into overpriced apartments with substandard wiring and plumbing.

They come here because people hire them. I am not one of those who hires them. I do know those who hire them. I have seen the living conditions a local developer provided for his illegals during a wet cold winter-it was 3 pieces of sheet metal. They cooked on an open fire. Their employer was so generous. I would see him buying eggs, fifty lb sacks of potatoes, masa trigo, pinto beans rice and onions at HEB.

I would hope that most people who hire them at least treat them as persons deserving of some human dignity. As for my little corner, if they want to camp/squat by my little spring that's fine by me. I assure you I've had both hunters and poachers out there who broke a lot more laws, and did a lot more trashing of things than the illegals out there have.

They're sending us more aid than most places, and it'll get here sooner.

Well I hope so...We paid for it...

First of all we don't need them. This is just a feel good political ploy by Fox and Bush. BARF!

Check their vehicles they're probably smuggling illegals.

How do you figure this? What sources do you have?

From what I can see they are sending foreign troops to our soil and you approve and thank them for this.

"From what I can see they are sending foreign troops to our soil and you approve and thank them for this."

The Balkanization of America is on tract and moving forward rapidly..Folks those who have one whit of common sense can see how the strategy of the left to destroy America by dividing US has worked ..Never Have I seen our Country more divided after a major tragedy like this Hurricane..I am very sad to see this great country sink to it's Knees and accept Third world countries coming to Aid and lecture us-Never would have our great leaders of the republic prior to 1960's have allowed this- Uncle Sam with hat in hand . That picture sums it all up the Communist Left has won. if they (MSM,SOROS,Hollywood,Liberal elite)continue to divide us America will cease to exist.

There's not enough money in Mexico to pay us what they owe us for taking care of their 15 million illegals. What a farce!

Hey "One Trick Quisling", what you said is silly.

"The American people should be outraged."

Ridiculous, as usual.
And speaking of "tiny contingents", Go Pat Go.

You really are starting to sound like your co-quisling, Dane. You know, that tendency to babble.

And here I thought Dane was probably the bottom of the quisling barrel. I may have to reconsider.

What you said is still stupid. (#26)
Your stalking and obsession of those that aren't in your One Percent Brigade is not my concern.

"What you said is still stupid. (#26)"

Only to the quisling class, who care nothing for American sovereignty, secure borders and the preservation of American culture, customs, traditions and language. As you will recall, I refer to this as the values test for loyal American conservatives. You took this test.

You failed.

You are not a loyal American conservative.

False, again. Show the link, if you're man enough.
I answered that my values are based on my family. How is that wrong?

Phfffttt! LP is calling.

That's exactly what's happening. A little opportunity presents itself to get the "Americans" used to the idea of seeing foreign guys with guns driving around their cities and towns.

A friend of mine just said that, 10 seconds before I read your post. I couldn't agree more.

"False, again. Show the link, if you're man enough.

Find your own link. It's a matter of record.

I answered that my values are based on my family. How is that wrong?"

In other words, you now admit you took the test. Family values are nice, but do not qualify as an acceptable answer to the loyal American conservative values question. You did everything you could to redefine the question with your evasive and obfuscatory answer. Hence, you failed the test.

Feel free to post your original answer now along with my reply to your unacceptable response to the test question.

If you're man enough.

We'll be waiting.

Just a more official invasion.

Yes, a drama queen would call it an invasion.
