Another Incident with the Mexican Army on U.S. Soil: Mexican Solidiers Point Rifles at Border Patrol

There was another border incident Sunday night; two Mexican soldiers crossed into Arizona and held a U.S. Border Patrol agent at gunpoint until BP reinforcements moved in to assist. They then withdrew into Mexican territory without further incident.

This may have been an accidental encounter; BP agents have sometimes accidentally crossed into Mexico, and Mexican army soldiers (or drug smugglers dressed up as soldiers) have crossed into the U.S. over two hundred times.

In the age of GPS, it seems strange that government agents from both sides don't realize when they're either approaching the border, are on it, or have gone over it.

But in any case, Mexican drug smugglers are using heavy weapons and equipment to get our BP and local law enforcement officials to stay away from their drug shipments. This was the reason for moving our military closer to the border to assist the Border Patrol when they're heavily outgunned by Mexican drug smugglers.

Authorities are right to believe that things will turn violent. They inevitably will; will we take the necessary steps to insure that our people have what they need to turned back these armed infiltrations of our border areas? Or will things keep getting swept under the carpet?
