“A person entering Mexico must report to Mexican immigration officers and to (Mexico’s equivalent of) customs. Also, persons must cross at an authorized point of entry,..."

LOL! Same to you, Consul Fernando J. Valdés Vicencio!

Sounds like a job for the Texas Minutemen!

Mexico’s acting consul in Del Rio called a crossing of the Rio Grande earlier this week by two Val Verde County Sheriff’s Office investigators illegal and “unacceptable.”

Who said Mexican officials don't have a sense of humor?

==========================================

Mexico’s acting consul in Del Rio called a crossing of the Rio Grande earlier this week by two Val Verde County Sheriff’s Office investigators illegal and “unacceptable.”

~SNIP~

In an interview Thursday, Fernando J. Valdés Vicencio, who is currently serving as the Mexico consul here, said Lt. Larry Pope, who heads the sheriff’s office criminal investigations division, and VVSO Sgt. James McGonagill, who is also assigned to the criminal investigations division, violated Mexican law when they crossed the Rio Grande to retrieve property stolen from the U.S. side.

“A person entering Mexico must report to Mexican immigration officers and to (Mexico’s equivalent of) customs. Also, persons must cross at an authorized point of entry, and (the two deputies) were performing acts of authority in a place where they have no jurisdiction at all,” Valdés said The old "do as I say and not as I do" ploy

No kidding. Those little dudes have real huffy attitudes.

"Also, persons must cross at an authorized point of entry, and (the two deputies) were performing acts of authority in a place where they have no jurisdiction at all," Valdés said.

“This is something that has to be dealt with at the highest levels of government,” Valdés added.

I've actually been to Del Rio. I seem to remember the river being a little wider there than at Brownsville. I also remember that the river didn't exactly look like it had the best water for swimming, thanks to pollution and flies.

Gubner Perry hasn't declared an official state of emergency due to cattle rustling by illegal aliens like New Mexico's Richardson has . .

Mexicans won't do.

Mexico’s acting consul in Del Rio called a crossing of the Rio Grande earlier this week by two Val Verde County Sheriff’s Office investigators illegal and “unacceptable.”

But, he added, he values the close working relationship members of the consulate and the sheriff’s office have built over the years and said he hopes the incident will further open the lines of communication between the two agencies.

In an interview Thursday, Fernando J. Valdés Vicencio, who is currently serving as the Mexico consul here, said Lt. Larry Pope, who heads the sheriff’s office criminal investigations division, and VVSO Sgt. James McGonagill, who is also assigned to the criminal investigations division, violated Mexican law when they crossed the Rio Grande to retrieve property stolen from the U.S. side.

“A person entering Mexico must report to Mexican immigration officers and to (Mexico’s equivalent of) customs. Also, persons must cross at an authorized point of entry, and (the two deputies) were performing acts of authority in a place where they have no jurisdiction at all,” Valdés said.

Oh, but we were just following the fine example set by your folks coming here.

They illegally entered Mexico?


I DARE this cretin to try and come arrest these two men.

Methinks there might be a border war if the burrito scented douche tried it.

It's time for a state of emergency in Texas!
Contact Governor Perry here:

Now is not the time to play politics. We need a strong bipartisan coalition.
