The response would be a bloody border. Military or not Americans would not put up with it. They would take the issue personal.
There are no "borders"
The terrorists hit, run and evaporate. If you recall, our President warned us the WOT will be a war like no other wars before.....and he was not only prescient, he was right.
Thinking on today's war has to be updated and modernized. There will be no bloody border down Mejico way if jihadists from anywhere decide to take control of the strategy. The border will mean nothing. It means little right now because it isn't protected.
One solution if terrorists start lobbing shells at us would be to send excursion troops into Mexico, like the U.S. government did to hunt down Pancho Villa who was raiding across our border.
This effort failed miserably. They couldn't catch the elusive Pancho and his army hiding in the terrain of Mexico.
Plus, I have a picture of our hesitant government sending troops across the border to hunt elusive terrorists. Or even bombing towns in Mexico where terrorists hide among the women and children.
My point is that our government better get its head out of the sand before the present Mexican skirmishers and gangs shooting at us become infiltrated and taken over by terrrorists on a mission directed from somewhere else.
There are also many out of the millions of illegals in this country that can be a Fifth Column, performing sabotage if the situation on the border escalates into a broader war.
Definitive action better by taken now by our Republican leaders while there's still time.

Dream on. The few who would take is personally would be thrown in jail.
