Mexican Army troops cross into US to aid
The border frontier is not a job that our border patrol is capable of handling at this point in time. Here is another valid reason as to why we need to have the U.S. military establishment be responsible for insuring that Mexicans that violate our laws are jailed and/or dispatched to another world, immediately:

Mexican soldiers and civilian smugglers had an armed standoff with nearly 30 U.S. law enforcement officials on the Rio Grande in Texas Monday afternoon, according to Texas police and the FBI.
Mexican military Humvees were towing what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the United States, said Chief Deputy Mike Doyal, of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department.
Mexican Army troops had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards inside the U.S. border -- near Neely's Crossing, about 50 miles east of El Paso -- when Border Patrol agents called for backup. Hudspeth County deputies and Texas Highway patrol officers arrived shortly afterward, Doyal said.
"It's been so bred into everyone not to start an international incident with Mexico that it's been going on for years," Doyal said. "When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do? Who wants to pull the trigger first? Certainly not us."
An FBI spokeswoman confirmed the incident happened at 2:15 p.m. Pacific Time.
"Bad guys in three vehicles ended up on the border," said Andrea Simmons, a spokeswoman with the FBI's El Paso office. "People with Humvees, who appeared to be with the Mexican Army, were involved with the three vehicles in getting them back across."
Simmons said the FBI was not involved and referred inquiries to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE www.ice.gov/ did not return calls seeking comment.
Doyal said deputies captured one vehicle in the incident, a Cadillac Escalade reportedly stolen from El Paso, and found 1,477 pounds of marijuana inside. The Mexican soldiers set fire to one of the Humvees stuck in the river, he said.
Doyal's deputies faced a similar incident on Nov. 17, when agents from the Fort Hancock border patrol station in Texas called the sheriff's department for backup after confronting more than six fully armed men dressed in Mexican military uniforms. The men -- who were carrying machine guns and driving military vehicles -- were trying to bring more than three tons of marijuana across the Rio Grande, Doyal said.
Doyal said such incidents are common at Neely's Crossing, which is near Fort Hancock, Texas, and across from the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
"It happens quite often here," he said.
Deputies and border patrol agents are not equipped for combat, he added.
"Our government has to do something," he said. "It's not the immigrants coming over for jobs we're worried about. It's the smugglers, Mexican military and the national threat to our borders that we're worried about."
Citing a Jan. 15 story in the Daily Bulletin, Reps. David Dreier, R-Glendora, and Duncan Hunter, R-San Diego, last week asked the House Judiciary Committee, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, the House Homeland Security Committee and the House International Relations Committee to investigate the incursions. The story focused on a Department of Homeland Security document reporting 216 incursions by Mexican soldiers during the past 10 years and a map with the seal of the president's Office of National Drug Control Policy, both of which were given to the newspaper.
Requests by Dreier, chairman of the House Rules Committee, and Hunter were made in jointly signed letters.
On Wednesday, Chertoff played down the reports of border incursions by the Mexican military. He suggested many of the incursions could have been mistakes, blaming bad navigation by military personnel or attributing the incursions to criminals dressed in military garb.
Mexican officials last week denied any incursions made by their military.
But border agents interviewed over the past year have discussed confrontations those they believe to be Mexican military personnel.
"We're sitting ducks," said a border agent speaking on condition of anonymity. "The government has our hands tied."

kimi...you would enjoy the John J. Carpenter book A WELL-REGULATED MILITIA. It is about this subject. A novel where the citizens do what the government/corporations would not. Thanks for the info. 0 -
I might pick myself up a copy of this book. Thanks.
I sure hope we start kicking ass on these criminal Mexicans. To include those in Washington who make every every effort to cripple our nation's security and the patriot's desire to have a government of, by, and for the people come election time 2008.0 -
It is one hell of a sell out. Are they paralyzed by legal entanglements? or are there too many kickbacks to turn down?
The Minutemen are the real heroes here.0 -

God Bless the Minutemen!0 -
I wonder if the Minutemen accept donations? I'll check their web site. 0 -
Our Government had agreed to let Mexican and Canadian troops come across our borders in time of natural disaster or terrorist attact. I think the Mexican army is trying to push the issue and Pizz on them and their drugs. When we went across their border in error with the fence they screamed bloody murder but not a whimper from our government when they cross our borders with or with out drugs.[V][xx(][:(][:(!] 0 -
If the Minutemen became a "well armed militia", I'd join em! 0 -
when the man in charge of homeland is making excuses, blaming someone else, calling it a mistake instead of jumping right down there & closing the gap then there is NO HOMELAND SECURITY....disgusting crap crap crap shameful 0 -
snipers. snipers. snipers. 0 -
Remember that GW Bush called the Minutemen, troublemakers, and rascists.
Wonder why?0 -
Refusal to accept the fact that the government has sold you out will be the death of this Nation..and not a moment too soon.
A nation of cowards OUGHT to get out of the way of young, dynamic cultures.
Just keep right on condoning the sell-out by voting for the Republican
nomineee..just like you have good sense.0 -
Yes they take donations but better yet join them we need all the help we can get. Everyone in the Minuteman org has to have a background check none of the Pro Legals have that. Enforce our current immigration laws, close our borders, fine and jail employers that hire the illegals. Vote out the ones that support the illegals, come here legal and make this country great.
If you have proof of employers hiring illegals call ICE and be prepared for a wait on the phone.It's not going to stop until the employers fear they are going to jail and lose everything because the government can charge them with federal laws and the money they got thru illegal gains. ICE number ((((((866-347-2423)))))) and pass it around to all patriots and use it if you have proof of hiring illegals.
You don't have to go to the borders to be a Minuteman member because there is no border now. The Minutemen were the main group that brought the illegal problem to light and helped get the Amnesty crap out.Any questions just ask there are several Minutemen on these board and will be glad to answer any question about the Minutemen. No we don't take physical action like some people want,we watch and report and work with the Authorities to stop the flow of illegal on the border and where ever the illegals are.0 -
I wonder if we could solicit the Federal Government to allow a small company called, let's just call it "River Water" to enter in a contract. The company would specialize in anti-terrorist/anti-drug tactics. It could capture and secure evidence for future cases against the country of Mexico.
This would allow spin off companies to make money while supporting the Border effort.
Hmm, who can I get to put there arm around me? There has to be a politician out there who wants to make money.0 -

They not only keep you up to date on what immigration legislation is being voted on, but they let you send FREE pre-written faxes (or you can write your own)to your reps. PLUS, they hire people to do lobbying to stop amnesty legislation and pass tougher immigration laws.0
