AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspectors returned 33 Mexican soldiers on Tuesday who inadvertently crossed over the Rio Grande river into Texas, authorities said.
The soldiers, packed into four Humvees, crossed over the Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge into south Texas at around 2 p.m., said Felix Garza, a spokesman for CBP in Pharr, Texas.
"They crossed the boundary line on the bridge. Once they did that they were forced to continue traveling to our primary inspection area," Garza told Reuters.
"They were processed according to protocols, and they were released and returned to Mexico without incident or charges," he added, declining to say whether the troops were armed.
In a statement late Tuesday, the Mexican military said the troops "unintentionally" crossed over the bridge while they were carrying out reconnaissance on the border.

Your statements and reality are approaching each other at an increasing rate. Soon they will correspond exactly.
The Mexican military has been crossing the border at will for the past 10 or twelve years. A couple of times they even shot at American Border Patrol officers. Our government does nothing about it.
“Inadvertently?” Crossed a bridge inadvertently?
Come ONNNNN!
add five zeros to 33 and they have a good start..
How do these people spout this gibberish with a straight face?
“Inadvertently crossed” a bridge.....
Any public official or employee speaking inane bullcrap like this should be sent to prison.
