"They weren't part of the Mexican military"


Mexican military personnel have been known to moonlight as Cartel operatives. I wouldn't suggest entering Mexico armed or with any amount of ammo. Unlike here, they will throw you in jail for that offense.

I agree

"Some of the most violent criminals at large today are illegal aliens. Yet in cities where the crime these aliens commit is highest, the police cannot use the most obvious tool to apprehend them: their immigration status. In Los Angeles, for example, dozens of members of a ruthless Salvadoran prison gang have sneaked back into town after having been deported for such crimes as murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and drug trafficking. Police officers know who they are and know that their mere presence in the country is a felony. Yet should a cop arrest an illegal gangbanger for felonious reentry, it is he who will be treated as a criminal, for violating the LAPD’s rule against enforcing immigration law."

This passage stands out. These gangsters need to be deported. They are given refuge by the leftists who run cities. Michael Bloomberg and Guliani have/had sanctuary city policies too. For NYC.
