Military Equipment and Weapons from Mexico Found in US

The Mexican government is saying that the incursions of our border by men in Mexican military uniforms are really drug traffickers. As messed up as Mexico's government is as evidenced by the report earlier that 1/5 of the Federal Investigation Agency were under investigation for corruption, they could be just full of bologna.

After long downplaying the number of incursions along the Southwestern border, top Border Patrol officials now acknowledge such incidents are all too common. Over the past decade, the Department of Homeland Security has reported 231 incursions along the border, including 63 in Arizona. Homeland Security defines an incursion as an unauthorized crossing by Mexican military or police, or suspected drug or people smugglers dressed in uniforms.

Incursions gained international attention after the Sheriff's Office in Hudspeth County, Texas, reported on Jan. 23 that men dressed as members of the Mexican military provided cover for drug runners near the Rio Grande.

Regardless of what the Mexicans are claiming we need to put a stop to this. Our border must be secure whether the invaders are military of drug smugglers. The time to play around is over.

A federal task force yesterday seized weapons, grenades and homemade bombs in Laredo, Texas, the scene of deadly border violence in the last year.

It was the second stash of weapons and explosives found by the team in the last week – a sign, Customs agents say, of a war between drug cartels vying for control of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The feds captured more than 30 homemade bombs, grenade components, assault weapons, silencers, machine gun assembly kits, bulletproof vests, police scanners and cash, Julie Myers, assistant secretary of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in a statement.

This is a serious situation. What help we are getting from the Mexican government is either ineffective or non existent. In either case we need to take this matter for what it is and deal with it decisively before it become unmanagable.
