A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.
Agents assigned to the Border Patrol station at Ajo, Ariz., said the Mexican soldiers crossed the international border in an isolated area about 100 miles southwest of Tucson and pointed rifles at the agent, who was not identified.

Mex army guarding drug shipments?
>>”You need a President with guts in the White House for a war.”<<
....and a MSM that will report something of this magnitude. Has anyone heard about this invasion on TV/Radio?
Of course, the Mexicans consider Arizona to be part of Mexico. They should be taught a lesson.
Mexican government complains to Washington
DOJ to investigate border agent
Possible 10 to 12 years prison sentence
WAR!!!
It is warfare if the Mexican soldier was acting on orders to invade the United States, which is unlikely.
RE:Fear-— See my tagline
I wonder when McCain will issue an apology.
We gotta start wiping out the mexican troops that are crossing our border. Enough of this crap. This is serious. Another country’s friggin ARMY, armed, is coming into our country, shotting at our agents, holding them at gunpoint.
We gotta start wiping them out when they attempt or do cross our borders. Use our armed UAVs and just take them out. Or use our troops to take them down. Get the guys coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan and use this as a transitioning-down time for them for a few months.
We are such pu$$ies when it comes to Mexico and we just gotta get over it and actually use the federal government for one of the few things it should do constitutionally - DEFEND from ENEMIES foreign and domestic.
As is the current WH resident.
Bush has always had a HUGE soft spot for mexicans. I still think someone/some group down there have something on the bush family, they have been so pro-mexican on anything controversial mexican-related. Campeon/Ramos to wit, having a personal friend/attorney against Campeon/Ramos in court defending the US Govt side of things. Forcing Texas to ‘re-look’ at death penalty cases becuase the UN Intl Court says so - even tho Bush dodn’t have the authroity to do it.
Bush is misguided on Mexico (ie wants to help their people, etc) at the very least, or is being blackmailed/hands tied despite knowing they are evil, at the middle, or is in cahoots with ‘em and wants them to be integrated with the USA at some point, at the worst.
The illegals are sending home millions, if not billions, of dollars to their families. That right there should be enough reason to envade Mexico and recapture the wealth that has been stolen from us. I’m sure this contributes to the small recession we are in right now.
If we went to war with them, they have over 15 million Mexican nationals already here in this country as a 5th column. The sabotage and guerrilla warfare they could unleash would be bloody. They already have 10's of thousands of shock troops existing in their paramilitary gangs spread throughout America and they have constantly demonstrated killing Gringos is not a problem.
“Mr President,
Confirmation that once again Mexican Troops are invading US lands for the purposes of smuggling people and drugs into this country, and are holding legal US authorities at gunpoint.
SO, Sir, whatcha gonna do about it? “
Answer: “Nada”
Nothing on the horizon to stop this crap and get us back on track. It will only get worse until the Civil War. I guess about 5 to 10 years down the road if we manage to keep our guns. Our Constitution spells it out. Hope not, but????????
Speechless.
Thanks for the ping.
