Mexican Armed Troops Conduct Vehicle Search On U.S. Soil!!
From Randy’s Right: Mexican Armed Troops Conduct Vehicle Search On U.S. Soil!!
While Homeland Security is busy telling Americans to spy on each other and insisting that domestic extremists are a national security threat, a truck of twelve uniformed Mexican soldiers armed to the teeth brazenly violates national sovereignty to conduct searches of vehicles on U.S. soil.
The incursion was captured on surveillance footage taken at the Anzalduas International Bridge. The clip shows at least a dozen armed soldiers in Mexican military uniforms cross into U.S. territory at high speed.
“The vehicle travels down the bridge toward the U.S. Customs checkpoint. Its driver makes a U-turn just before reaching the lines of cars there. It then starts back south toward Mexico. The men pull over and search a vehicle for a few minutes then resume their trek south,” reports KRGV.
Having spent around 10 minutes on U.S. soil conducting an impromptu search of a vehicle, including a search of the trunk of the car, the soldiers head back to Mexico.
The car that was searched then also heads south, confirming that it was traveling from the United States into Mexico, and raising the possibility that the Mexican soldiers had targeting American citizens for the search, not to mention the fact that they were agents of a foreign power exercising law enforcement duties inside the U.S., which would normally be sufficient to cause an international diplomatic spat in any other country.
However, when KRGV interviewed Chief Leo Longoria of the Mission Police Department, he defended the Mexican soldiers by saying they might have been unsure that they were crossing into the United States, before stating “we applaud their efforts”.
Longoria politely asked the soldiers to “coordinate those approaches, particularly coming into the United States,” failing completely to acknowledge that the action was an illegal violation of U.S. sovereignty.
Despite the video footage clearly documenting the fact that the Mexican troops crossed into U.S. territory, Mexican authorities lied to KRGV by insisting it didn’t happen.
This is by no means the first time that the Mexican military has violated the U.S. border to conduct operations on American soil.
On March 10 last year, residents of Falcon Heights, a south Texas border town, saw a Mexican helicopter hovering over a house shortly after 6pm. The chopper conducted surveillance for about 15 minutes before flying back to Mexico.
“They had armored individuals in the chopper, open ramp, very military looking, in style and preparation,” said Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr.
“It’s proof the Mexican military sees no boundaries,” reported local KRGV News’ Stephanie Stone, adding that the incident wasn’t the first of its kind and wouldn’t be the last.
“The markings I understand read ‘La Marina’ which is equivalent to the Mexican Navy,” said Gonzalez.
KRGV contacted nearly a dozen government agencies in an attempt to get answers. After contacting the the FAA about the chopper, KRGV were told to talk to the Customs and Border Protection, who said they knew about the incursion but were apparently unconcerned. State and local authorities refused to return phone calls about the incident after they were also contacted by KRGV.
“A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman says that a Mexican military helicopter crossed the border into south Texas late Wednesday afternoon before returning to Mexico without landing,” an Associated Press report later confirmed.
Mexican military helicopters invaded U.S. airspace at least three times last year, prompting Texas Congressman Ted Poe to make an official complaint during a speech in front of the House.
“The Federal Government is MIA on our borders. Our government ought to spend less time protesting States like Arizona, trying to protect their citizens from border violence, and start getting some answers from Mexico about their military helicopters flying into the United States,” said Poe.
In 2007, the U.S. Border Patrol warned its agents to look out for Mexican military units crossing into U.S. territory that could pose a threat to their lives.
It seems that the USA and Texas are not as safe as Janet Napolitano wants us to believe. Not that the entire Obama administration is a bunch of blithering IDIOTS, but, well, just sayin’.
Mexico is a BROKEN Country. We need to close the border.
We have two very serious problems: Islam and Illegal Immigration. With an open border they can and ARE becoming one and the same.
This particular incident bugs me, but not as bad as the Helicopter incident did. I would feel a lot better if they allowed our guys to go down and help them with their cartel issue. Then there would be some sort of “Co-operation” between the countries. As of now, the Mexican Military IS the Cartels. We can’t trust any of them and our guys can’t trust their leaders in DC. It’s truly FUBAR.
IF we locked up the border tight, this shit would cease. BUT if we did then the current democrat voters wouldn’t be getting reinforcements….They still have the cemetery though…
Wonder how Mexico would react should one of their helos get shot down on US soil? Lot of deer rifles on this side of the border.
“If a tree falls in the forrest and nobody is there to hear it . . .” We must yell louder. Thanks Fred for keeping us informed.
The Mexican Army is always arrogant and in your face.
They think this covers up their stupid commanders on the scene.
Give them an inch, they take a mile. They strut like bullfighters.
I worked with them, and their arrogance was overbearing for me.
It’s time to shoot out their tires, and catch them inside the USA borderline, while filming it all.
But also realize that their commander will give you the finger and drive back into Mexico, and taunt you to “come on over”.
I taught Platoon Combat Tactics to them in 1958.
Now, I wish I hadn’t.
It’s just a matter of time before one of these Mexican military incursions opens fire upon American Citizens within the boundaries of the United States.
This is more proof (as if more is needed!) that the border is out of control no matter what Napolitano says! It is beyond time to close the border and yet the government is doing nothing. It is absolutely unforgivable and unacceptable that ANY foreign army is allowed to conduct manuevers on out soil!
On the radio on my commute to work, the news moonbat was talking about the drug problems with Indiana youth. She said… now get this crap… “we have been improving our relationship with the Mexican government which has helped” What a deluded POS!!! The drug cartels RUN MEXICO! How many thousands of Mexican citizens died last year because of the criminals there while the government sat on their hands, sang la, la, la and blamed Americans for their woes! The Mexican government helping any problem in America is about as likely as me having a baby next week! Ain’t happening!
HAM, according to the info I have:
For the year 2010 in Mexico
11,583 Mexicans murdered in reference to Drug Cartel violence!!!
Here’s a little breakdown:
10,829 (male)
754 (female)
902 were totured
776 left with a message attached, painted nearby etc. MOST by the RIVAL Drug Cartel)!
715 were members of “law enforcement” (and boy do I use that term loosely!!!)
389 were decapitated
61 were soldiers
(I’m sure a few happened that weren’t reported or were mis-reported)…
But hey, Hussein et al are “creating jobs” ’cause the border is fine!!!
Sounds like if the US would send several embalmer/funeral directors over there we could “create” their replacement jobs on this side of the border
Stay safe and STAY ARMED!
A free man can never be too well armed Native Son! A fact that guys like us are well aware of…
The ICE Agents that were killed a day or 2 ago, they were UNARMED… That is so much bullshit, I can smell it through the screen… The ROE’s for agents and officers in Mexico, Central and South America sure have changed…
All these goofy bastards that make the rules, you have to wonder, have they ever fired a gun NOT on the range? Have they ever been if a *life or death* gun fight?
