Suspected Mexican cartel members were caught on video opening fire on US Border Patrol agents near the southern border Monday – as a group of migrants reportedly tried to enter the US illegally, authorities said.
The ordeal unfolded at about 1:30 p.m. near Fronton, Texas, Customs and Border Protection said in a statement without revealing more details.
The apparent cartel members had started firing as the group of migrants were trying to cross the Rio Grande, Fox News reported, citing law enforcement sources.

Face it, this is a war. The cartels have been outed as a terrorist organization and an enemy of the United States. Most Americans would love to see them eradicated.
They have lots of weapons. But they don’t have air power.
US Border Patrol agents: “Go ahead punk, make my Monday...”
I’d say deploy some Apache helicopters, ASAP.
In time, we may see reports of cartel bosses being made examples of El Marino Loco style.
The sooner the better.
Soon, my Friend, soon.
The US military should create a kill team to hunt these thugs down in Mexico itself to terminate them with extreme prejudice.
A-10s on call will put a stop to that
Cue sobbing from Selena and AOC.
El Marino Loco.
Getting pretty brassy, aren’t they? They must not know there’s a new sheriff in the USA who says what he means and means what he says! I understand that Marines have been sent there now? Good if they’re given the go ahead and I can’t imagine they wouldn’t!!!
Why are the terrorists still sucking air?
The occasional SEAL or Delta sniper could have a field day.
Well then if they insist on doing it the hard way President Trump needs to unleash our top rated military snipers. Those idiots will think twice before even thinking of taking a shot at any of our law enforcement folk!
Oops; there goes that boner again.
... bring in a few A-10s ...
BRRRRRRP ... cartel soldiers become giblets.
And if that’s not enough we’ve got Tx ranchers who are so precise at taking aim at coyotes or whatever animal is threatening their lives stock. Authorize them to snuff out those evil SOBs cartels!
Stop screwing around and patrol the border with a few A10s and Apaches until this crap stops.
