President Trump’s first order of business was to declare an emergency on the US-Mexico border.
The Mexican drug cartel was put on notice today that they are no longer in charge of the US border.
Border Patrol agents exchanged gunfire with Mexican drug cartel members on Monday as they tried to bring a group of illegals over the border in Fronton, Texas.
The illegals did not make it across the river.
Nobody was struck on either side.
Via Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: Per multiple law enforcement sources, within the last hour, Border Patrol agents near Fronton, TX were fired upon from MX by suspected cartel gunmen as a group of illegal aliens were being brought across the river. I’m told BP returned fire, nobody hit on either side, and that the illegal aliens did not make it across.

Texas DPS is patrolling the area and using a drone to monitor the Mexican side.
Texas DPS @LtChrisOlivarez tells me DPS is now patrolling the area and has a drone in the air and can see Mexican military assets now staging on the other side of the river. pic.twitter.com/z61RkrVvEq

Bring some artillery up. Shouldn’t take much...
Too bad a flight of warthogs weren’t around.
Would put the love of Jesus into their hearts
Sounds like the cartels are trying to give the 82nd Airborne (now deployed to the border) a good reason to ‘stir things up’ down there in Mexico.
Put A-10s and Apache’s on call. A couple of fire missions and there will be no more shooting
Good and bad news.
Good - No border patrol casualties.
Bad - No cartel casualties.
“Nobody was struck on either side.”
We got to get some night vision on U.S. rifles.
For the first few milliseconds...
A10s. Long loiter time, low and slow.
Anything moving towards the border, Warthog gives it a squirt from the ‘30.
They want war, we will wage war…White Man style.
“Mostly peaceful” invaders.

Might lead to much of Mexico become South Texas.
Shouldn’t have let it go in the 1850’s.
Saw this earlier, were the BP aiming to miss, or do they need more range time?
Have a couple of Predator drones loiter in the area. Zap the bastids.
That is from that 160 acre fortified island in the center of the Rio Grande, “Fronton Island”.
Is is disputed territory, but the cartels us it as a base. We have a US Military unit that specializes in assaulting islands.
The USMC needs to be tasked with taking that island, and then notifying Mexico to sending Army representatives to jointly hold it as a cartel “no go” zone.
What was the range? What was the weapon? Our guys need to up their game.
Folks, don’t get me wrong, I LOVES me some A-10s, but a few Predators with a pair of Hell Fires could light up their tree-houses in a Glorious way.
“I’m told BP returned fire, nobody hit on either side.”
Fine each BP Agent involved $5 and have them spend a week at remedial marksmanship training.
