A Mexican military helicopter flew over the border from the state of Tamaulipas into Texas "amid ongoing fighting between the Gulf Cartel and its former enforcers, Los Zetas" as reported by Lynn Brezosky and Gary Martin for the San Antonio Express-News:
The Zapata County sheriff Thursday was questioning why a Mexican military helicopter was hovering over homes on the Texas side of the Rio Grande. It was one of the more jarring incidents of the fourth week of border tensions sparked by drug killings, and rumors of such killings, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said he'd reviewed photos of the chopper flown by armed personnel Tuesday over a residential area known as Falcon Heights-Falcon Village near the binational Falcon Lake, just south of the Starr-Zapata county line. He said the helicopter appeared to have the insignia of the Mexican navy.
Meanwhile, U.S. federal agents testified on Wednesday "before a subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security Committee on rising corruption among the ranks of federal law enforcement officers who patrol the border and guard ports of entry" due to influence from the Mexican drug cartels as reported by Randal C. Archibold for The New York Times: "Although the vast majority of officers do not betray their jobs, the corruption problem, said Kevin L. Perkins, an F.B.I. agent who helps supervise corruption investigations, 'is significantly pervasive.'"
Little news has been coming out of Mexico on the escalating drug war between the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas along the Texas border due to a campaign of violent intimidation against journalists who have chosen to sit out this battle following the disappearance and murder of several of their colleagues.

The invasion continues.
Notice no latinos or latino groups occupying US soil are decrying this.
They are all in cahoots-—getting ready for reconquista.
And then the finale-—takeover of the US Treasury.
Janet N and the other pro La Raza rats in Homeland Security were busy trying to find US Vets, who are Christians guilty of jay walking or something as serious.
Give me an M-72 LAW and I can get it done. But I am an old guy.
Except for the sizable Rio Grande river, and the large dammed lake at this particular location; it must be difficult to tell where Mexico stops and Texas begins.
A country without borders is not a country - it's just open territory.
“The sheriff needs a few SAM’s down there....”
No need for a SAM. I have talked to vets who were flying a copter in Nam and had their copters shot down with an AK47 shot or two in the tail rear rotor motor or the rear rotor blade.
One guy was on his first flight in a combat situation and survived to fly on a few more tours.
Another fellow ended up in a Hanoi Hilton Franchise for a couple of years.
So any good shot with a deer rifle could do the job by taking out the rear tail rotor motor or the rotor.
Maybe a black op by the Grupo Beta’s. Might have been a hot
pursuit of bad guys. Maybe they threatened a Mexican police
commander and he didn’t want them to gain refuge in Texas.
Without communication beteen the Federales and BP its hard
to tell the players without color coding.
Were they cleared to fly into US airspace? My bet is they were — even if OUR gov’t won’t admit it. If they weren’t, they should have been intercepted by F-16’s and escorted to Lackland AFB (or the nearest military air base); or else, shot down.
My suggestion is to send a couple of squadrons across the border into Mexico and fly a few dozen sorties against the drug cartel’s strongholds. And no, we shouldn’t ask Mexico’s permission. 20 million of them cross our borders, live on our dime, suck our resources illegally — we don’t need no stinking permission.
Why do we have the Department of Homeland Security again? A mexican helicopter is hovering on homes on our side of the border? Oh wait, Janet incompatano is on the job.
Los Zetas ping
Ma Duece will work too, I’m getting old as well.
Does Janet Napolitano have any military experience at all?
Does the Council on Foreign Relations, i.e. John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Margaret Albright, sanction border invasions by a foreign power?
Is our Federal Government, under the control of a cabal of hidden agenda elitists, working for us, the citizen taxpayers, or for it's secret manipulative vision?
“Is our Federal Government, under the control of a cabal of hidden agenda elitists, working for us, the citizen taxpayers, or for it’s secret manipulative vision?”
I take it that was a rhetorical question?
And in reply to the poster that suggested that US officials had given permission for the helo to be in U.S. airspace - I wouldn’t bet on it. Our borders are dying from neglect. We are no longer a sovereign nation. It’s that simple.
And of course actual Americans are forced to put up with and be endangered by this crap because our DC corruptocrats don’t wish to offend all of those future democrat voters!!
“Notice no latinos or latino groups occupying US soil are decrying this.
They are all in cahoots-—getting ready for reconquista.”
We sure as hell DID notice.
Just on Fox News.
1) Only 10% of new border patrol officers given a polygraph
test.
2) It is estimated that 60% would fail it.
Might as well send them all home.

Individual monetary remittances
The graphic below depicts the amounts (in millions of dollars) sent to Mexico, Caribbean countries, and Central and South American countries by means of individual monetary remittances from abroad during 2009. Out of a total of 58.8 billion dollars (the first time there has been a decline in the growth of these remittances since the year 2000,) Mexico was the largest recipient, with 21.132 billion dollars. Some of these funds originate from European countries as well as from the United States. The cited source, “BID,” is the Inter-American Development Bank (Banco Inter-Americano de Desarrollo.

Pseudoephedrine haul
Thirty-three million pseudoephedrine tablets were found in a shipboard container that had arrived from China at Puerto Cortes, a port on the north of Honduras near the border with Belize and Guatemala. No arrests were made. Lonel Sauceda, spokesman for the Honduran Minister of Security, said that the seizure resulted from good cooperation with U.S. officials. (Remember this is the stuff we can’t buy over the counter any longer....sudafed)

Another, yawn!!, day of violence
[Today, the local area news section of this paper featured seven primary, individual news items, each separated and headed by bold print. Beneath all those, in small and modest print, there was a secondary listing under the heading “More news.” There, in sixth place, was this item:
“Twelve are assassinated; a woman is wounded.” Going into that nearly hidden item then provides readers with details of the continuing slaughter. The main front page, however, deals with such news stories as: Cuba renewing sex change operations, a NY restaurant offering cheese made from human milk, and about a Chihuahua firm that provides ground beef to McDonald’s.]

A federal judge in Mexico City has issued a formal order of arrest for four municipal police officers in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, for alleged connection with the drug cartel known as La Linea. The officers were initially arrested in Cd. Juarez on March 12 when federal agents on patrol spotted several unknown subjects accompanied by a police patrol abduct a man, push him into the back of a Chevrolet Suburban and speed off. After a chase, the feds succeeded in stopping the vehicle in which the four police officers were holding their hostage. The car also contained fragmentation grenades and two AK-47 assault rifles.

A multi-national plan
The government of Mexico and representatives from Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and the Dominican Republic signed an accord and set up a work group to combat the traffic in chemical precursors in the area, as well as to share information about the traffic routes of drugs, weapons and persons, with the object of confronting trans-national criminal organizations.

U.S. Ambassador, again
The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Pascual, met with “parliament leaders of the (Mexican) Senate, and spoke about the Merida Initiative, immigration, weapons traffic and border security and violence.”
Senator Ricardo Monreal said that Ambassador Pascual informed them that “the presentation of a possible migratory reform in the U.S. is postponed at least until 2012 because this year there are elections in that country and it is an issue which generates much controversy, for which reason it will remain pending.”
[However, “Excelsior,” (another Mexico City paper,) reported on the same issue but said that Pascual told the Senators that the White House is analyzing a new initiative that would be made public after the elections.]

An explosive find
Colombian military and personnel from the country’s equivalent to our Dep’t. of Justice detected and destroyed a ton and a half of R1, an explosive used to manufacture anti-personnel mines. (The event took place in a rural zone near Argelia, in the department (state) of Antioquia (some 35 mi. S.E. of Medellin).)
This amount would have been sufficient for 10,000 such mines. In the last three months, in Colombia, 7,077 kilos of explosives have been seized from “illegal armed groups.”

Mexican officials are readying a project that could bring up to 500 Haitians to Mexico on a humanitarian visa program to reunite Mexican citizens with their Haitian relatives. The program would allow the Haitians a renewable 1 year stay in Mexico, during which time they would be able to study, work and travel.

Juarez doesn’t rest
(In the eighth place among the secondary listing of “more news” of the local section)
“Those assassinated yesterday add up to 7”
A more prominent item reported that, as of early afternoon, another four men had become victims of homicide today (Thurs.) And a later report stated that a man was shot and killed outside the Justo Sierra elementary school, just at the time that the children from the morning session were leaving and others were arriving for a later session of classes. “The deceased was identified only as Jose Filiberto, who had a handicap that prevented him from walking.” (photo relates)

Death threat to Juarez mayor
A pig’s head was found on a street in Ciudad Juarez yesterday morning. Beside it, there was also a note addressed to the city’s mayor, Jose Reyes Ferriz. It read: “Jose Reyes Ferriz, you are a pig, you have two weeks of life left ha ha ha.” (The photo in the newspaper accompanying that article shows what appears to be a dead and eviscerated dog, which agrees with other reports about this event.) “Norte” also added that there have been 76 homicides this month in Ciudad Juarez.
