Well, presumably, since they appear to be part of the Mexican Army, they can lawfully be blown up with mortar shells and tank rounds.
If it turns out they were not really soldiers, maybe they will still get the idea that it is unwise to adopt such a disguise.
Seriously, we should have some marine recon units scattered along the border, ready to deal with this. Are these guys mafia in military garb? or Mexican Army contracting themselves to the mafia? In the end, it makes no difference.
Take them out.

'Cept in this case, it'll probably be US citizens doing the work the US government won't do.
Where's the problem? Shoot them or arrest and hold them. If the Mexican government claims them back, then leave it to them to inform us whether they are rogue criminals or official invaders.
Let Vincente sort it out.
Listen, Delbert Dumbunny, whoever these latest guys were, they crossed over the Rio Grande, which defines the border between much of Texas and Mexico. They had to know that they were in the U.S. Moreover, they took up defensive positions to shield the smugglers they were protecting while they hauled their marijuana back South after being discovered. This was no, "Whoops, we should have hung a left on Avenida de la Playa" mistake.
We can settle the issue of "were they real military" by running the VIN of the hummer they abandoned and burned on the U.S. side. If it was sold to the Mexican government, we have our answer.
When the hell are we going to end this Kabuki theater with Mexico?

The way to get them out of limbo is to capture (preferably) or kill a few. The Mexican government would then either have to claim them or disassociate from them. If the latter all future incursions would be treated as criminal acts. If the former they can be treated as a hostile invasion force.
Let's all face it, the incursions have been going on for a long time and will continue.
Let's also face the fact that the State Department does not want to deal with this issue and neither does President Bush.
Nothing to see here, please move along.
Oh, puleeze. Typical lawyer, can't open his mouth without lying. Mexican military has been crossing over the border since they were booted out nearly 200 years ago. How the heck does one inadvertently cross a river, crawl through tunnels, cut through fences, and fire at BP and not know where they are?
How far have we fallen when lawyers argue about an invasion. These useful idiots will use the same argument if a nuclear bomb goes off. Well was it an attack by foreign country or was it a criminal action. In either case we the dead will still be dead. Why are we not talking about how many troops need to be deployed? Or whether we should shoot first or try to arrest first.
WE ARE BEING INVADED, AND ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT ARE GOVERNMENT PROTECT US.
Either it is a crime and they can be extradicted by Mexico to the US or they were doing the deed.
