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.

Enough of this foolishness. The answer is quite simple.

Supplement the Border Patrol with Predator surveilance aircraft. When an incursion is spotted and documented using GPS/video confirmation we respond in an appropriate manner.

WE DROP JDAM WATER COOLERS FROM AN C-17 ORBITING AT 35,000FT. AT TERMINAL VELOCITY WE CAN BE SURE THAT THEIR THIRST WILL BE QUENCHED! {AND YOU LITTLE DOG TOTO TOO!}

Thanks for the ping. My co-worker told me this story very early this morning. She said Tancredo was on TV almost yelling, and she thinks if he had not made a big stink, no one would have reported it at all.

This shows just how extensive media censorship is in this country. With the exception of Fox News all the other networks ABC, CBS, NBC, PMSNBC, CNN, NPR invariably refuse to cover any issue that has to do with immigration, Mexican border violations & Acts of War, government corruption and crimes perpetuated by scared cow minorities. Yet, if a negative news story happens to involve a conservative or worse a Christian it is Open Season for the media. America desperately needs a few more Fox Networks. The leftists that run the Old Guard Networks are traitors that should be put out of business.

This is a reality. There are a goodly number of well armed citizens in that area who are seriously p*$$ed off.

I wish them well--as our government is obviously not going to address the problem. Never forget Mexico is our friend. GAG!

Cop, huh? Well, Little Guy, I have no power, and I don't cry to "the management" to get posts erased b/c if we here can't be decent or remind ourselves to be decent when we make a mistake, then who but idiots will take us seriously?

So you think in the big picture "taco bender" isn't racist, huh? Well if we're going to play games, fine, it's not racist if there's no such race, but it's an insult of a particularly low sort revealing a vulgar prejudice among it's speakers. That better?

Since when is it "PC" to call someone to task for being an jack@$$?

Just don't forget to round up and intern the 3 million Mexicans here illegally in some snowy Montana camps.

Sure, why not? Worked in Israel.

Of course, cooler heads will probably prevail...

Alas, If it weren't for those prevailing cooler heads, lots of "populist" blowhards would be left without an excuse for making good on their saber rattling. Thanks so much for advancing western civilization.

"Whatever knowledge of the terrain and the spirit of protecting one's home can do will be done, but it would be far less costly to have a military solution instead of a private militial one."

Would you please advise the White House of this fact? They don't seem to know it.

We all call it like we see it and sometimes toes get stepped on. That is what is great about the freedom of speech. If you though the comment was racist and want to call him a jackass is one thing, and it's okay, its your opinion and you are completely entitled to it. But to insinuate that they should not utter certain phrases, for fear of offending, is entirely different. That is trying to curtail free thought and free speech. Hence the suggestion of being PC.

I thought "taco bender" was kind of funny myself, having never heard that one before.

As far as people taking us seriously, if you have convictions firmly rooted in the Constitution, the majority of the people will not take you serious anyway.

This is what it's come down to? The BP from a PR standpoint essentially haven't the right OR permission to rightfully engage or protect U.S. citizens from illegal invasion?

Folks, how many ways must Americans, U.S. sovereignty, and the Constitution be sold out before we get real "leadership"?

Just because one has an enumerated protection from the prosecution of government to do something doesn't mean one should do it. Did I silence her? No. Did I inform her that she should shut up if she has nothing but that drivel to say? Damn straight, and rightly so. There's nothing wrong with telling fools to be silent. Shooting them or taking their homes to shut them up is another story.

If I recall, what's great about the freedom of speech is that it allows the truth to fight on it's own terms. I fail to see how calling Mexicans taco benders is aiding the truth to enlighten mankind. It does just the opposite, in fact.

I'd say that if Bush wants even a ghost of a chance of being re-elected (a pipe dream to be sure) he'd shake his attachment to extraordinarily corrupt Mexico like the case of the crabs that it is. This continual kowtowing to such a corrupt and aggressive nation of pinheads is an absolute outrage.

Yup, I guess this means we should bomb Mexico city with cruise missiles, capture and try the first non-PRI Mexican president bla bla yak yak.

Your right, lets just continue to allow our good neighbors to send millions upon millions of unskilled, uneducated, criminals, and drug dealers into our country.

We have plenty of room here. Jezz you would think our land fills were full, our social services were being choked off, our emergency rooms were packed with up non paying illegal aliens, and that our energy resources were limited etc etc etc. Everything is just peachy. I just can't figure out why anyone would be concerned about this little invasion.
