IIRC, they have shot across the border before, but not crossed over by air. Am I wrong on this?

I think you're right...at least, we haven't had any reports of air incursions. And I haven't heard anything locally. (I live about 15 miles from the AZ/Mexico border)

OTOH, there have been scads of land incursions west of me on the Tohono O'odham reservation by cartel members protecting their trade routes. That area stretches ~100 miles from the border to Interstate 8 near Casa Grande and is very much like Afghanistan in terms of terrain and climate. And some folks would also say people...

My SILs Step-father used to work the border between Tucson and East a few miles and he and his crew were shot at regularly but not allowed to return fire. To his knowledge, no USA personnel were ever hit.
