INS Confirms 'Act of War' Committed at U.S. Mexican Border

Ajo, Arizona - The Immigration and Naturalization confirms A U.S. Border patrol Agent was fired upon Friday five miles inside the U.S. Border, increasing the calls for citizens to take direct action to halt what a U.S. Border Patrol agent called "an act of war." This is one of 21 border incursions that have taken place over the last year.
According to a U.S. Border Patrol Agent, the Tohono O'odham Police Department encountered a Mexican military incursion on Friday, May 17, 2002 at approximately 8:30 PM along the Santa Cruz trail inside the Papago Farms border patrol area, just south of Forest Road 21.
The unnamed agent spotted three Mexican soldiers in a Mexican Humvee on U.S. soil and was attempting to leave the area when the rear window of his vehicle was apparently shattered by gunfire. "The agent was leaving the area in an effort to avoid a confrontation" with the Mexicans, according to Lori Haley, and INS spokeswoman.
"I cannot in good conscience stand by and watch another incursion along our border take place," said U.S. Rep Tancredo (R-CO). "Unless we open our eyes and recognize that what's happening along the U.S. Mexico border is real, one of our guys is going to get killed.
The U.S. Border Patrol Agent, who wishes to remain anonymous, informed Rep. Tancredo during a phone conversation that approximately five miles north of the U.S./Mexico border, one the "GS-11" agents out of the Ajo border patrol station noticed a military helicopter flying overhead, heading south towards Mexico. Shortly thereafter, he came upon a humvee, which not only began to approach him, but to fire upon his vehicle. According to the agent's testimony, the vehicles rear window and back driver's side windows were destroyed. Fortunately, the agent was able to flee the incursion unharmed and concluded the conversation by stating, "As far as I am concerned, that [incursion] should be an act of war."
With the increase in hostilities now confirmed by the U.S. government, Sierra Times has learned that private citizens are making preparations to deal directly with such incursions in the future. Stay tuned.

Do not think that all soldiers wear uniforms! Groups of six, eight, ten, eleven men who are looking over their shoulders, advancing slowly, carrying bags or have their hands inside their clothing can and should be looked at as mercenaries or military units preparing to attack. Yes, unfortunately it's time to start getting ready for serious defense measures. Stay informed!
This is very real. This happens on a regular basis. the Border Patrol union has asked for something to be done but our government refuses.
Most of the time the only place you read about these invasions is on the net. The liberal elite media never mentions them.
These are acts of war. I don't care if it is soldiers from Monaco, Mexico, Canada or Red China, if foreign soldiers come into America and shoot at Americans, it is an act of war and our military should respond with so much force and violence that no country in the world will ever think of letting that happen again.
We should have a full scale counter attack underway today. It should be so violent and overwhelming so that neither Mexico or any other country even thinks about coming here again for a couple of hundred years.

I don't fall for the stranger politely informing me that my fly is open either. Just keep my hand in my pocket, smile and proudly reply that I'm keeping it cool.

I wish them well--as our government is obviously not going to address the problem. Never forget Mexico is our friend. GAG!
Oh they will address, by attepting to arrest those law-abiding U.S. citizen attempting to protect their family and propery from foreign invaders. And all hell is going to break loose.
U.S. citizens are facing a war on two fronts, one front by the U.S. Government and it's enablers and the other front by foreign governments and terrorists.

This type of thing would happen a lot less if Border Patrol Agents took out their M-4 rifles and shot back.

Either the agents are lazy and do not want to take out their M-4's, their Sector/Station policies prevent them from doing so or they don't have M-4's. At my station every agent has an M-4 rifle and shotgun available to them. The reason the agents don't take them out is because they are lazy about defending themselves. Our sister station in Calexico has a policy that prevents agents from taking their rifles into populated areas. I don't know what the case is in AZ but here in Ca the lack of firepower is for the most part a result of laziness.

Uh.....I heard a rumor regarding possible Chinese incursions as well. Does anyone have any credible information confirming or denying the veracity of this rumor?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Tucson does not allow the M4. I'll ask one of the BP guys tomorrow.
IMO, it should be standard issue, just like the Barrette.
Speaking of which, I'll miss mine. We are going to the Glock 9mm that Customs Inspectors carry.

IMO, its false. I doubt Mexico would let foreign military units run around their country.

I've seen the Naco agents carry the M4 on occasion, especially around the San Pedro.
Gotta run -- renewal class for my CCW.

JackelopeBreeder - I've seen the Naco agents carry the M4 on occasion, especially around the San Pedro. There you go. If they don't carry the damn thing, they are lazy.
When I was in the Corps, team leaders and squad leaders would complain about having to carry the M-203 equipped M-16. It was too bulky or too heavy or too hard to clean.
Not me, I loved it. Anything that can toss a grenade further then I could was always helpful.

I remember one of the Agents in Ajo telling me they could not carry them, but that was pre 9-11.

U.S. citizens are facing a war on two fronts, one front by the U.S. Government and it's enablers and the other front by foreign governments and terrorists.It sure seems that way.
Our federal governments lack of border enforcement is one example of how we are being sold out. This shouldn't be happening.
To: Missouri
This shouldn't be happening.
But it is, the question is what are we going to do about it.

I liked the 40-MM Grenade Launcher M79. Watching a grunt use one without the sights and actually hit the spot he was aiming for made me feel good top to bottom. That's like being tucked in by Mommy and she says, sleep well, Son.
