Rita, this article is about an incursion by a Mexican helicopter into Arizona.

This did not happen in Texas.

That’s not to say there aren’t a whole train-load of illegals coming into Texas, there are! That just isn’t the focus of this post.

.
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:

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, 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.
