Border Patrol agents in Arizona were reportedly fired upon by a Mexican military helicopter that traveled across the border.
KVOA-TV reports that Mexican authorities were conducting a drug interdiction operation when the incident happened early Thursday morning on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The Mexican chopper fired at the agents and then flew back into Mexico.

Relax, people. It’s an “act of love.”
The article doesn’t say a word about the BP agents returning fire. That would be my first response! Until I exhausted all the ammo available!
Human sheilds for Democrats policies.
‘Apparently you’ve forgotten the Murial Boat Lift, as well as his immigration amnesty for millions in 1986’
If I remember correctly the boat lift was when Castro snookered Carter by sending his violent inmates to us. The amnesty under RWR was nowhere near the numbers we are looking at now, the dems keep mentioning 11 mill as the number of illegals when I think it is more like 30 to 40 mill. I bet I am closer to the mark.
It’s the exclamation point at the end of a long sentence saying that Obama is helping our enemies to invade and attack this country. Not his country. Our country.
He is a foreign enemy combatant, and I don’t understand why the military hasn’t labeled him an enemy combatant and ordered a drone hit on him - as his own “policy” would allow. The lawful thing, IMHO, would be for the military to detain him and take him to Gitmo.
He has harbored Ayers and Dohrn who are communist terrorists who made attacks to try to overthrow the US government.
He was a signed member of The New Party, which was to carry out through legal means the overthrow of the US government via Cloward-Piven.
The Egyptians say he is a signed member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and every action he’s done suggests that’s true - including having Lois Lerner give tax-exempt status to a MB branch even while harassing US citizens for political gain.
He has armed, trained, financially supported (to the tune of 8 billion, according to the Egyptian military), hidden, let free from captivity, and given political cover to Muslim terrorists all over the world. He quickly deported the Boston Marathon Massacre’s “Saudi person of interest” before the Boston Police, CIA, or FBI could arrest him - and had somebody change the “known terrorist” classification from this Saudi’s file. And then he made sure that this guy was at a July 4th White House celebration for US military members so the guy could gloat - just like they did when photos of Michelle Obama visiting this bomber in hospital made it into the Muslim world.
He has given aid to Hamas and Hezbollah, allied with the Mexican drug cartels, by refusing to allow the US - feds or states - to do the Constitutionally-mandated DUTY of protecting the country from invasion.
The guy is a foreign enemy combatant, and he is making a run for it right now - trying to do as much damage to this country as he can, before Sheriff Joe reveals the particulars in support of that factual statement.
Anybody who doesn’t see the truth of this by now is hopelessly - or willfully - blind.
“Flying cover for a cartel shipment….”
Thanks, the summary had me all messed up.
I was wondering why an official Mexican Helicopter would be firing on our guys.
Now I know.
One of these days we will find out how much drug money bribes, Holder and his thugs were given to turn the other way.
Surface to air missiles? Nice thought.
But Obama is president. He hates America.
Pancho Villa (sp) and John Pershing come to mind.
ALL the outrageous actions 0 is creating or allowing to happen has one goal...prodding republicans to start impeachment hearing against him.
It shouldn’t be a War. Just blow up Mexico in one hour. No problem. We wouldn’t have these problems in the Middle East if we had just blown them all up in the first place. Make it a huge parking lot with OUR oil fields.
Border Patrol needs to be a well armed military unit—the Border Guard—with Stinger Missles to shoot down the cartel paid helocopters. In Mexico the bad guys won-—maybe we need a new Mexican War!

The Texas posts are in no way meant to hijack this thread, but it is important to spotlight the crimes and atrocities of illegal aliens and corrupt Mexican military
which are ignored by our governors and representatives.
We MUST demand that our reps put a stop to this insanity.

Texas border patrols are regularly shot at by Mexicans and suspected Mexican military from across the border.

Mexican Army troops had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards inside the U.S. border — near Neely’s Crossing, about 50 miles east of El Paso — when Border Patrol agents called for backup.
Mexican officials last week denied any incursions made by their military.

Texas Ranchers along the border terrorized by Mexican illegals:
http://www.ndsn.org/oct96/texas.html
DEA officials say 70% of the drugs smuggled into the U.S. come across the U.S.-Mexico border. Texas, with 1,268 miles of border with Mexico, is a major channel of drug smuggling. According to Hutchison, drug gangs are moving illegal drugs through rural areas in Texas because federal officials had increased enforcement in border cities. Ranchers claim that gangs of Mexican drug traffickers bring tons of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and amphetamines across the Rio Grande to the U.S. with impunity. This year, Border Patrol has seized 65,330 pounds of marijuana in the Del Rio sector, nearly double the amount seized last year.
On the cattle ranches that stretch for miles along both sides of the river dividing the U.S. from Mexico, gangs have torn down fences, scattered cattle, commandeered houses and threatened citizens who get in their way. One rancher recounted sitting in a deer-hunting blind recently when a man dressed in camouflage and toting an AK-47 assault rifle emerged from the cane by the river in broad daylight. A column of drug-carrying “mules” with another armed escort followed close behind. Hutchison said the heavily armed gangs are so frightening that Texas ranchers are selling their land, in many cases to buyers fronting for drug gangs who use the ranches to get a foothold in the U.S. “This means that we are now looking at the possibility of open access from our border ranches into the interior of our country,” Hutchison said. “It’s just not our land anymore, when armies cross it,” said the wife of a rancher.
...border agents interviewed over the past year have discussed confrontations those they believe to be Mexican military personnel.
“We’re sitting ducks,” said a border agent speaking on condition of anonymity. “The government has our hands tied.”

Nuevo Laredo, across the river from Laredo, has been the site of a deadly war between drug cartels and more than 100 people have been killed this year. A gang of Mexican military deserters known as the “Zetas” work out of Nuevo Laredo to protect cocaine and marijuana being brought into the United States.

Farmers and ranchers along the Texas border are losing their farms and ranches that they have owned for generations to drug cartels and illegals.
Many claim a wide swath of Texas along the border already has been retaken by Mexico.
Ranchers and farmers regularly find rotting corpses of illegals on their property.
Their houses are broken into and are looted.
Fences are destroyed and cattle scattered.
Guard dogs are shot.
The ranchers are shot at- and are forced to arm themselves at all times on their own property.
All this while Rick Perry and our Texas reps DO NOTHING.

Thank you, Rita. Appreciate that.
Thank you, HiJinx, so much for clearing that up, before I further embarrased myself. I have been working stories on the TEXAS border exclusively, and jumped to an incorrect conclusion. I appreciate it very much. Sorry.
You’re welcome.
RE Return Fire:
One would hope they did.
However, one is not optimistic that they did.
But a Marine still sits in their jail for accidentally making a wrong turn.
This stuff is beyond fiction. No one could write this.
I’d just wipe out their entire military. It would take what? A weekend?
I’d take offense to that but I’m too busy watching the Kardashians.
