It’s long past time to declare the Mexican Cartels to be terrorist organizations, and to deal appropriately with the Mexican government’s collaboration with them.

Regardless of that any Mexican soldier who ever again pulls a gun on an American citizn on American soil should be sent back home in a body bag. After that I doubt it will happen again.

NG not Military, Military went to Sig Sauer 2 yrs ago. Might explain the Unmarked vehicles too. NG gets left overs.

Do we get to bring our guns now?

[Magnum44]

We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border.

Long overdue.

The Mexican soldiers reportedly believed that the U.S. Army soldiers were on Mexican territory.

So, let’s build a ‘Big Beautiful Wall’ so that there can be no confusion as to which side of the boarder we are on.

Ensure we have aggressive Rules of Engagement and then send a copy to MX.

Mr. President, who knows better than to forecast intentions, please don’t say what you’re gonna do; just do it. It will be self=explanatory.

[McGruff]

Now there’s a leader!

[Big Red Badger]

Diversionary Tactics for Smugglers!

Absolutely!

[bgill]

Come on, Trump. You can do better than obammy’s stern words.

[KC_Conspirator]

One can chalk this up to the effing chaos at the border.

[gaijin]

HOW have the orders changed...?

I don’t care if they have yuuuuge guns:

If they’re told to never shoot, they may as well be unarmed.

[taxcontrol]

Do not ascribe to malice what can be described as ignorance.

Most likely scenario is that the Mexicans were incorrect on where they thought the border boundary was located. Without a wall, there are no lines on the ground. Even the Border Patrol says that the area is very confusing. Further, our guys were in an unmarked vehicle.

[Buttons12]

It’s hard for Americans to grasp how corrupt the Mexican authorities are — and were, long before the first drug cartel cropped up.
Today I heard some pundit speculating that these Mexicans were not actual soldiers.
They’re all on the take, down to the neighborhood cop. It’s baked in. Everyone understands.
It’ll happen again, of course. Somebody slipped up and it got reported.

Put a letter in their permanent record

[PGalt]

Perhaps we can recover some of Eric Fast & Furious Holder’s guns. HOORAY President Donald J. Trump!

[gaijin]

Why not simply CLOSE the border for 24 hours, maybe a couple days, to get the message across..?

Even with ZERO words, that communicates faaar more than, “Well it had BETTER not happen again..!!!”

[AmericanCheeseFood]

Drone strikes/artillery on the cartels and the military that defends them would be a nice development.

[LouAvul]

Sure, president Trump. Another empty threat on twitter is going to dissuade the murderous, demonic messycan cartels.

Is this your version of "double secret probation?"

[Fresh Wind]

Muck Fexico.
