Some Good News From The Border
Finally some good news from the border. World Net Daily reports, "The head of the U.S. National Guard surprised Border Patrol officials, declaring some of the troops he will send to assist them will work in close proximity to the border, be armed and allowed to fire their weapons if necessary."I think this is unbelievable good news. Now maybe we will do something when the Mexican military is firing shots at our border patrol agents.
The Department of Homeland Security said there have been 231 documented incursions by Mexican military and law enforcement personnel into the U.S. since 1996.
Mexican soldiers caught inside U.S. boundaries “isn’t a new phenomenon,” said David Aguilar, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol. Although the Mexican military has an “internal policy” that states they won’t operate within about two miles of the U.S., that policy is routinely violated or simply ignored, he said. “We often spot them” near or inside U.S. borders, Aguilar said.And on several occasions the U.S. has chased, apprehended and even detained members of the Mexican military, Aguilar said during his testimony.
The following report is from 2002, so this isn't something new.
Investigators are trying to confirm whether it was a Mexican soldier who shot at a U.S. Border Patrol agent Friday night on the Tohono O'odham Nation.
An agent reported coming across three heavily armed Mexican soldiers riding in a Humvee near Papago Farms, about 90 miles southwest of Tucson.
The agent said he drove away, but a shot ripped through the windows of his Border Patrol vehicle as he fled.
Mexican officials said Tuesday they think the shooter was not a soldier.
They think he's not a soldier?? Give me a break!
It seems that congressman Tom Tancredo is one of the only American politicians who is actually looking out for us.
