A federal document obtained and released by Judicial Watch reveals that there were dozens of armed incursions by Mexican soldiers and police into the United States during Fiscal Year 2007.
The report was obtained by the Washington-based organization that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and it documents 29 confirmed incidents along the U.S.-Mexican border involving Mexican military and/or law enforcement personnel during that time.
"These documents not only show the dangerous and chaotic situation at the Mexican border, but also the complicity of some Mexican government agents in violating U.S. law," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"The U.S. government must begin to take these incidents more seriously, publicize them and take measures to bring the crisis at our border under control," he said.
The report documents incidents such as the one at the Fort Hancock Station in El Paso.
"[Troopers] attempted to apprehend three vehicles believed to be smuggling contraband on I-10 . As the vehicles approached the border, [troopers] stated that a Mexican Military Humvee armed with a .50 caliber weapon and several soldiers were seen assisting smugglers return to Mexico . Officers then noticed several armed subjects dressed in fatigue type clothing unload the contraband into the Humvee. These subjects set fire to the stalled vehicle before leaving the area."
Judicial Watch noted that of the 29 documented instances, 17 involved armed Mexican government agents.
Another situation:
"On Sept. 16, 2006, a Border Patrol Agent assigned to the Calexico, California Station observed an individual in an olive drab uniform with a possible Mexican flag on the shoulder approximately 100 yards north of the International Border near the Calexico [Port of Entry]. The individual appeared to be carrying a sidearm... "
It's not as though the situations are new, but Judicial Watch spokeswoman Jill Farrell said it appears the U.S. government's policy on such cases is to count them and file the paperwork.
The document also states that between 1996 and September 30, 2006, there were 253 confirmed incursions into the United States by Mexican government personnel. The government has documented shots fired on both sides of the border, unmarked helicopters invading U.S. airspace, drug smuggling and actual confrontations between U.S. Border Patrol agents and armed members of the Mexican military.
One such case happened near Brownsville:
"As the boat proceeded to go down river towards the scene, the [Border Patrol] Agent on board advised via radio that several Mexican soldiers were pointing their rifles in his direction. The agent decided for his safety and the safety of the crew to turn back, but advised that the soldiers were still aiming at them."
Another case found a "Mexican Military boat" that was "providing security and escort for the two others that were later found to be transporting 2,716.53 pounds of marijuana."
"It seems as if, once again, the government is failing to secure our border," Fitton said.
Farrell told WND that the government needs to take such situations seriously, and make sure the public knows. Her group, which obtained the federal reports through a Freedom of Information Act procedure, believes there are some real concerns about the border crisis, she said.
"You would think that the State Department or DHS [Department of Homeland Security] would be involved," she said.
Revealingly, the U.S. government report notes that many of the incursions were both "armed" and "intentional" and cited one incident in a location where construction of a security fence was incomplete.
In another case near Yuma, two uniformed Mexican police officers advanced onto U.S. soil and spent some time there "before walking back south into Mexico."
Previous government documents obtained and released by Judicial Watch note that such "incursions" have been documented in sectors including San Diego, El Centro, Yuma, Tucson, El Paso, Mafa, Lareda and McAllen.
WND previously has reported such armed trafficking has in a series of research projects in the southwestern U.S. deserts.
"I got kind of allergic to pistols being held to my forehead," botanist Richard Felger said in the report.
Not a damn thing just turn their head and say nothing.[xx(][V][:(!][:(]

Violating the purpose of the Federal Military and allowing a foreign invasion. 0 -
quote:our Government
Contained within this question is the simple answer .
At one time, We the People WERE the 'Government'..and decisions were made reflecting the wishes of the people.
About 1865, it became 'Our Government'..and decisions are made reflecting the will of the rich and powerful.
It does not suit their wishes to protect the borders of America..the barbarians only raping, robbing, and killing average Joes...no problem for the Elites at all.0 -
The government has made it's position very clear by sending two border patrol agents to prison for shooting at armed Mexican drug dealers and their military escorts. 0 -
What is our government doing about this?
Raising our taxes and telling us they are taking care of it.0 -
on American soil you get a free pass unless your a citizen 0 -
hmmm...makes you wonder does`nt it! 0 -
Here's what Texas republicrat Kay Bailey Hutchison is doing about it!

What a Bimbo and they keep electing that trash[xx(][:(!][:(][V] 0 -
None of this matters. All that matters is that they are hard workers! 0 -
Honestly, if I lived in your neck of the woods, and witnessed a foreign military on my street, I'd have to assume, (having seen the movie 'Red Dawn' dozens of times) that I would need to be my country's first line of defense and open fire with my deer rifles......
no sarcasm intended or implied.
Of course I also contend that out soldiers should coat their ammo in pig fat and MAKE SURE THAT YOU LET THE 'INSURGENTS' KNOW YOU ARE DIONG IT![:D]0 -
The only way the government will do much about this is if they do something to a politican. It seems they don't care about the general public, but let something happen to one of them and it is a different story. It just seems to get worse. I was just with a fellow yesterday that lives in Mexico. I asked him about coming across the border, if he had to show his passport to get into the US. He said no they just waved him in when he drove through the border. Guess we are the only ones who have to have a Passport. Sure glad I pay taxes so I can get rotten treatment. When is Washington going to wake up? 0 -
Imagine if weeks before election day every American woke up to find the Mexican Flag flying over their state capitol.
Let's do it. [:p]0 -
It would never happen, but this is where our military needs to patrol. LOCK & LOAD! 0
