Our government really should encourage US citizens to shoot at any military vehicle which bears foreign markings.

"What? You saw a Mexican army helicopter over your house? And you didn't shoot?? What kind of citizen are you?"

But, of course, our government's reaction would not quite fall along those lines.

Isn’t this an act or war or do they have to fire on us from that helicopter for it to be considered so?

Blow the friggin thing out of the sky if it does it again.

I am with you on that. Of course I think if Obama were going to try to declare martial law he would do it with foreign troops.

Why are no Army or Air Force commands involved? One wonders how far it could fly north until some one responded?

A Mexican helicopter? That’s a joke, right? There are no helicopters in Mexico.

You ask a very pertinent question.

There are all sorts of radar warning areas, military and FAA.

Incursions from outside the borders are supposed to be intercepted.

So does this mean someone was asleep or does it mean that the US is winking at Mexican incursions?

Or was this a training flight of some kind with US approval?

An insult to our sovereignty, yet Zero will do nothing about it.

If we had a President with balls, he'd inform the Mexican Government that the next intrusion of U.S. airspace will be met with lethal force.

Mexico is our friiieends!

Why, don't you know that they contribute to our Social Security system, supplement our tax revenue and provide us with good quality oil for processing into our lifeblood?

Are you not in the least aware of the economical impact that Mexico has on our nation?

You need to travel to Los Angeles, for example, and see the wonderful neighborhoods the immigrants have created.

Or perhaps to, well, someplace like south of Collinsville, AL, close to the chicken processing plant.

Why, it is a virtual paradise of housing that is manufactured especially for the hispanic immigrant, with the intention of providing a pleasing living area for those workers that are necessary and that have the requisite skills to prepare chicken for the consumption of our America.

There are many, many of these areas, some for the comfortable housing of the professional produce handlers that are required to travel from farm to farm, in order to provide succulent produce such as lettuce and tomatoes, to the consumer at the peak of freshness.

Why, whatever would we do without them?

An accidental incursion of our sovereign borders by an armed gunship of the Mexican Army is not a problem, when one considers the contributions of the people.

Shame on you for even questioning the event.

I think they actually have to fly the thing into a building before the gov’t gets concerned.

Then they will blame it on a right wing tax protester.

Any Mexican military plane flying over the US should be shot down ASAP.....more than likely it is running cover for one of the Mexican cartels

Of course, there will be whining from Liberals, Open Borders America-Haters in both the DNC and GOP, and the La Raza/Hispanic Ku Klux Klan crowd....but America has a right to defend itself. Anything less of this amounts to treason

Falcon Heights is a community of less than 100 homes that sits just above the dam which has a road crossing over it to Mexico. It is a very long dam and there could be no doubt that they knew they had crossed the border.

There is a Border Patrol check station less than one quarter mile west of the village which is manned 24/7. There are always about 10 people working there and they would have to had seen it.

Mexican military has crossed over into the U.S and fired on American border patrol.
Thought this was an act of war- however nothing was done about it by our PC crippled govmt.
