I think it's time to put a few of these guys on the job.

Oh, a wise-guy, eh?

Takin pot shots at our guys, eh? Eat this!

Maybe you weazels might want to consider staying on the other side of border! (warning, 2mb file - cable/dsl recommeded)

It's interesting that you show A-10's. One of the biggest A-10 squadrons is based in Tucson at Davis-Monthan AFB, and they are always going out to the Gila Bend (now Goldwater) Gunnery Range, which is just west of where this "incident" took place. It would be no big deal for a coupla Warthog's to be sitting alert or even on patrol along the border 24/7, since they are a) close and b) in need of target practice.

If you go to Tancredo's website and read the incident description, you'll see that the BP agent first saw a helicopter southbound into Mexico before he encountered the HumVee. Whether that helicopter was doing recon or actually returning from carrying cargo into the U.S., I don't know, but I suspect both Customs and USAF saw it on their radars. There's not much that a Citation or even a Mohawk could do even if they could get there in time, but hey, an A-10 could get there about as fast as the Citation and then proceed to chop both the helicopter and the HumVee into scrap metal.

The aftermath of which would be suitable for framing, and eventual posting to FR, for gratuitous chortling.

That wouldn't be hospitable. But as long as the Wartie drivers are around, maybe they could throw a nice welcoming barbecue for our uninvited guests:
