This is big…
In a shocking incident that happened earlier this month, United States military commanders say a small group of armed Mexican soldiers briefly detained a pair of U.S. soldiers who were conducting a routine surveillance mission.
What’s worse: The U.S. soldiers were sitting on the Texas-side of the border when the incident occurred.
United States Northern Command told CNN the incident happened in the afternoon on April 13.
“On April 13, 2019, at approximately 2 p.m. CDT, five to six Mexican military personnel questioned two U.S. Army soldiers who were conducting border support operations in an unmarked [Customs and Border Protection] vehicle near the southwest border in the vicinity of Clint, Texas,” the military command said.
During the incident, the Mexican soldiers, who were armed with high-powered assault rifles, ordered the U.S. soldiers — one sergeant and a private — out of the unmarked vehicle, pointed their firearms at the U.S. personnel, and briefly detained them.
The Army sergeant, who was armed with his service pistol, was even disarmed, an incident report said.
“After a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area. The U.S. soldiers immediately contacted CBP, who responded quickly. Throughout the incident, the U.S. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols,” John Cornelio, deputy director of public affairs for NORAD and U.S. Northern Command, told Newsweek.
The Mexican military personnel moved “tactically fast,” preventing the U.S. soldiers from radioing for backup. To make matters worse, both the uniforms of the Mexican soldiers and their truck were not marked with “identifiable seals or symbols.”
The incident took place south of the border fence, but north of the Rio Grande, the official border demarcation at that section of the border.
After the incident, Customs and Border Protection agents arrived at the scene, along with members from the soldiers’ regiment.
According to U.S. Northern Command: “An inquiry by CBP and DOD revealed that the Mexican military members believed that the US Army soldiers were south of the border.”
“Though they were south of the border fence, U.S. soldiers remained in U.S. territory, north of the actual border,” the statement explained.

Miscommunication
Hardly.
something does not sound right
they (the mex side) wanna make sure their drug cartels are not being held up.
Odd isn’t it? Mexico wants to protect its border but the US isn’t supposed to protect ours.
I don’t believe this, I think the US was attacking Mexico and got caught. It is time we mind are own business.
You win for dumbest comment of the day!
Yep, some people had no clue what going on :
right? this was on US soil, and do NOT tell me they didn’t know. if they truly did not, they do not belong in the military.
my guess — more worried about drug cartels being safe than anything else.
yup, both of those us soldiers were out to take over Mexico.. SMH
Ummm, I think you have it ass backwards. The Mexicans have done this before and have killed Americans on American soil.
You are a dumb ass! What would the US gain in doing that? But just mabey we should
I don’t believe you are human…hymen perhaps!!
You are an idiot.
Close the border now, next time may be worst & maybe loosing a American soldier. Congress will never fix this problem both parties have walked around it for years. Mr President your are last hope for all Americans that believe in the laws of the land.
That is an act of War !!! we can’t let them get away with this.
These morons better watch it! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Mr. President, that’s an act of war! You know what to do!
AMERICA DOES NOT EVEN HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEACH, THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE PERMITED TO OST ARE THE IGNORANT BRAINWASHED IDIOTSM SPECIALY IF THEY ARE WAR MONGERS
Aline,
What is unfortunate for us, is the President cannot declare war. The declaration of war is up to our slime-ball congress to do, which they won’t because they won’t see it as an act of war, but Mexico’s right to detain our military on our side of the border.
But I do totally agree, this aggression from Mexico is an act of war.
The president can send in marines as they are not congress controlled.,Once he does that it is up to the “lawmakers” to act.
Actually,, the Pres. can declare an emergency temporarily.
No more 2 man patrols. Make it at least 4, with some kind of “radar” system to detect movement in the area and who it is that is moving. These people are getting to bold. It is past time for a show of true force. Next time, the report should indicate that the Mexicans either surrendered, to face US courts for committing an act of war, or their bodies will be sent to their homes of record. Either way, “Mexico” needs to have it’s teeth smashed down their throat.
President Trump close the border and don’t open it until congress fixes this mess. Corporations don’t like it to bad they do not put pressure on Congress to do their jobs.
It was an act of war. But by tge same token, it was a.mistake. I have a feeling they are going to be.more careful. There is.No way Mexico wants to go to war with us. I am.thinking those Mexican soldiers are up.for a serious demotion/a$$ whooping from thier CO.
NO mistake!! When you’re working near the border, you KNOW exactly where the line is! The US soldiers had every right to SHOT those invadig SOBs and start a fire fight right then and there!! The after action facts will show EXACTLY where the skirmish occurred and more importantly, Mexico or the cartel members parading as Mexican militia will think twice about pulling this kinda crap next time!
Roy, you weren’t there, were you? That ‘These TWO US Soldiers were armed with one .45 Cal pistol that holds 7+1 rounds and the numerous Mexican guys were armed with high-powered rifles! Our guys would have been slaughtered without even getting off a shot and even if they did there was no chance of hitting a invading member.
Jim, the U.S. Military carries either a M9 Beretta or the new M17 Sig, both in 9mm with 15 or 17 round magazines. They haven’t carried a 1911A1 .45 in decades.
Now is our chance, declare war on Mexico. Any person crossing the border illegally is an enemy combatant so when they surrender they go to a military prison. If you don’t surrender? This will stop the illegal crossings.
Mistake? Here is the real fear,if a fight had broken out who do you think the Mexican people here would support?It would be hard not to support your own kind.There are enough of them here to turn on us.
Are the mexicans really that stupid? Could be.
With the Mexican shoulders over stepping their boarder against our official military deployment, we have no choice but to shut down our southern boarder totally. Our southern boarder should be totally closed until the wall is completely in place and totally controlled entry points are in place with proper security and proper veting of all personnel and cargo coming into the US. Also keep it closed until the Mexican government, starts working with us on stopping the mass migration at their southern boarder. It is time we take a serious stand on our boarders and stop the Left Wing Nut Socialist Democraps from obstructing the protection of the people they represent and the same people that pay the taxes for their salaries. Democraps and Rhinos it is time you uphold your oath of office to defend and protect the people of this country and our constitution. That is what you were elected to do, and I want to know why you can not do the job you were elected to do and took an oath to do. A Coup over this country to create a dictatorship is not going to happen. We the people of the United States Of America are Free and protected by the constitution of this great nation, and it is the privilege of the free people of this country to protect our constitution form any attacks upon the constitution and our rights.
Those are drug cartels !
SURE WHY DON’T WE JUST DROP A NUCLEAR WEAPON ON THEM AFTER ALL WE DO IT WITH EVERYBODY ELSE. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONLY NATION THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO INVADE OTHER NATIONS WHEATHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT. LIKE WE ARE DOING IN VENEZUELA AND SYRIA, ETC. MEXICANS DO NOT HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS BUT THEY DO HAVE LOTS OF OIL JUST LIKE VENEZUELA, SYRIA, IROQ, LYBIA, RUSSIA TOO HAS LOTS OF OIL FIELDS, AND GAS MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST SEND OUR MILITARY THERE AND DESTROY THOSE 100 MILLION RUSSIANS SO THAT WE CAN STEAL THEIR OIL.
You are a moron and a liar! Who else but the japs did we dorp a nuke on?
“We drop nuclear bombs on everyone else”…..tell your mommy it is time for your meds
That only works once; US Military and US Government will request that in future all Mexican Military personnel check their position on gps satellite position on the military gps coordinate grid to make sure that they are not in the US; and if they are; they will be fired upon without question in the future; without reservation as they have been warned and cautioned in advance; future Mexican government poor incometent judgement, excuses and/or confrontations in US territory will be met with being automatically fired upon first before questions are asked if Mexican government and/or military decide to pull this kind of stunt again!!
Mexico NEEDS to be thought a Lesson….NO MESSING with The UNITED STATES!!!! THAT WAS an ACT of WAR!!
Let’s DUMP All ILLEGALS in the States, BACK INTO MEXICO!!!the
THEN CLOSE The BORDER!!!! PERMANENTLY!!!!
if only…………..
The way they were described i would guess they were cartel checking their routes. Mexican army wear a easy to identify uniform that is well known.
Are you kidding me!!
What right does the Mexican soldiers bold enough arrogant enough to test our country
I’d say that’s an act of war
How embracing USA to let this happen and not react
Can you imagine this same act happening in Europe countries
Are we being so democratic passive we are allowing Mexico to disarm our soldiers !!!!!!!
Hello America
Do not let this go unpunished
Completely close our borders
Mexican police set one ft to disarm our soldiers
Put a bunch of democrats to arm the borders
It gets worse.
El presidente, el presidente la presidente de estados unidos es on la telephone.
President Punyeta, President Trump here, I regret to inform you that out military crossed your border 20 minutes ago
I ordered 40 cruise missiles armed with thermobariatric warheads targeting Mexico city, you have 5 minutes to put your head between your knees and kiss your ass before Mexico city is turned into a smoking crater.
Adios mother***er
Mexicans know where the Border is. They have lived with the Border in their head their whole life. There is a good chance these “Mexican Army” guys were drug cartel folks out looking for some “kicks”. Even if they truly were Mexican Army, the same reason holds, thugs like to intimidate.
could be Mexico does not seem to support their own laws and these could be drug cartel punks
How come its always the other guy fault, to eer is human,
Just close the border and stop all these bleeding heart games and pussy footing around. Close the border, get combat units deployed to the border and deport every stinking illegal in this country. Dump them back across the border and let them get back to their own country the same way they got here or let mexico,our enemy, take care of the mess they helped create. As long as we are deporting trash– all the organizations who are aiding these foreign invaders need to be deported right along with them. It is time to start acting like adults — not 5 year old little girls.
Gerry is correct. Enough of this crap. George Soros and other leftie organizations r funding this bullshit. Shut it down.
We need to shut down the border until the wall is built and the democrats stop obstructing immigration reform. It will cost us but it may now be the only way to keep our culture and way of life.
Maybe what is needed is a real show of force. First, stop any group, by a show of force that they are not to cross the border. If they do, they will be fired upon, with lethal ammunition. If they come anyway. give them 20 feet, then fire. Soldiers should make a willful effort to avoid children. They should be marksmen enough to do that. Look at the uniform of most soldiers in dress uniform, there is usually some kind of medal marking their success in marksmanship.
Amen! Close the border now.
Do not insult 5 year old Girls
Good for you….. well said!!!!!
I concur all Illegals should be deported along with all their cronies.
I agree with you 100 percent. It’s time we took this crap seriously and start getting physical with this trash that is invading this country. When the weather warms up enough to where I can leave home without worrying about my house freezing up, I plan on going to the border and join up with my Oath Keeper brothers to help stop this kind of $hit from happening! God Bless President Trump…God Bless this great country!
I would stand behind President Trump if he would go ahead and do these things instead of oh we will do it later. Send all of these illegals back to where they come from and not let any more in. Let Pelosi Schumer and the Democrats keep running their mouth. They want them here so bad They are looking for votes. They need to make sure everyone that votes have a government issued ID. Try cashing a check without one. The government is saying you have to have one to get on a plane. I agree with all of that. Congress has done nothing since President Trump got in office. It’s time they get voted out and hope they lose in the primaries. That goes for Roy Blunt from Missouri. It is time he leaves as he is just like the Democrats.
You bet shoot anything that purs a criminal foo on American soil as wqell a any liberal mfer caught aiding and abetting them
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Thank you Gary, the fact that our previous leaders permitted these other nations to snub their noses at us really galls me too, they need a good lesson in manners when confronted by superiors!!
sO EVERY PERSON IN THE uNITED sTATES TAT HIRES AN ILLEGAL ALIEN SHOULD BE DEPORTED?
I totally agree with you Gary, just as I am sure many American Patriots do.
I agree with you. Enough is Enough. We have got more than our share of Illegals in this country. I am sick and tired of opening doors for all of these illegals to come in have their Babies here for the sake of getting Citizenship, getting all they want through the expense of the taxpayers. Next, will it be drawing Medicare, getting food stamps, and Federal assistance????
I like your comments. I agree.
Those who give them jobs should be prosecuted! No more welfare
Getting kind of pushy aren’t they??????
Next time you send out a Patrol, have backup IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE AND TAKE THEM OUT. (Probably on of th4e drug cartels to which Obama sent THOUSANDS OF AUTOMATIC AR-15 RIFLES
“getting” – NOPE – this has happened numerous times in the past – with little to no sanctions taken against them. Gotta agree, close the border – or maybe capture the next bunch that pulls this type of ‘stunt’. They are pushing to see how much they can get away with, whether it is on their own initiative or that of the cartels.
NO, don’t arrest them just SHOOT THEM and put an end to it…Close the border, don’t let ANY of them in. Sick of this bunch and all the MSM’s the MSM president let in….Arrest him for being a Traitor…..
Yeah this could be the start of something new they plan on doing, just trying it out to see what they can get away with. Shoot the *astards- we DO NOT need to take a single chance with any of those worthless scumbags. Trump needs to close the border immediately, I could care less what money it costs anyone. I hope it costs mexico a whole lot, hurt them SEVERELY financially then maybe the backstabbing worthless pieces of garbage would finally do their part in stopping the money grabbing AHs coming into OUR country to either live off of us or steal our jobs. I was ecstatic with what Barr did until I learned that it does not apply at all to families and that is not just infuriating but heartbreaking, that means 60% can still get in and that is sickening.
**** CONGRESS, SOMEBODY HAS TO STOP THE DEMONRAT’S INSANE GOAL TO DESTROY AMERICA.
What is our nation waiting for, a few of our troops to be killed? Then we say we should have done some thing? Right now we have the Democrats trying to destroy the country. Muslims committing violent crimes in our country. Obama with a shadow government trying to take over. In the mean time the lazy, gutless Republicans aren’t doing anything. Maybe if we start hanging out politicians they’ll start responding to what is going on.
Amen brother and don’t forget to pray!
I agree 100%!
Way past time for term limits, that way they don’t have to worry about reelection and special interest groups, that will stop all this border shit
An armed confrontation??!!? This means WAR!!! Exterminate them!!!
I still think that Flame Throwers, would be definitely ‘ adequate ‘! LOVE IT!
I agree; flame throwers and granade launchers, don’t have to aim to kill, just let them know we mean business….
like your idea, would have to think that Obozo probably took them away!!!
SEAL THE BORDER, and SHOOT TO KILL ANY AND ALL WHO ILLEGALLY CROSS OUR BORDER! It is time we started shooting criminal trespassers! Folks, we either uphold our own sovereignty or we don’t have a country. And to hell with what the mentally-deranged democraps have to say about it. They don’t care! WE DO!!!!
We can’t let this kind of crap continue. I think it’s time we start getting physical with this trash that keeps pouring into this country. Those soldiers should have been paying a lot more attention to their situational awareness! This is another reason we need combat troops stationed along the border to deter this type of thing from happening again! CLOSE THE BORDER and…BUILD THAT DAMN WALL!!
I hear you, Micheal! The Dam wall must be built. Now they’re shooting at my fellow brother’s in arms and if they shoot back it’s wrong on them. I say F..k That. These Liberals basterds are letting them get away with allot of s..t. I say no more. An act of War is an Act of War. Am Retired Military and am available to man my weapon for my country. Since President Trump was elected the Liberals have let this country fall to nothing but laugh at by other countries such as Latin America, MiddleEast, and North Korea. How much more do we have to take.
That is such a childish and ignorant comment that reflects the true feeling of many Americans, but fail to realize the potential consequences, which most don’t give a hoot anyway because we are bigger and better than anyone. I think that’s exactly what Hitler and the entire Third Reich felt like. Invincible. How have we changed! We are supposed to be leveled headed.
Los soldados Mexicanos simplemente eran los testaferros al servicio del narcotráfico y entretuvieron a los fronterizos de EU lo que las mulas hacían su trabajo.El gobierno de México está corrupto hasta el tuétano y más con el gobierno socialista ☭ de la bellota de AMLO.
If this is true, then this is an armed invasion of our sovereign nation… wars have been started over little things like this. I cannot believe Mexico has not given an explanation or tried to calm this insult to our country and its people!
This is a little more serious than a “fly over of our borders by Soviet aircraft…..where is the US indignation?!
Now, this is tolerated??!!
Put 100,000 troops on the border and close it ….. build the wall and stop all this no asylum …… apply for asylum from your country not when you arrive here….. turn everyone around and send em home
Hey, is this Brian the Barbarian?
Amen
What are waiting for!!!!!!!!!!
Best idea I’ve heard all day!
The Mexican soldiers were simply the figureheads in the service of drug trafficking and entertained the US border what the mules did their job. The government of Mexico is corrupt to the core and more with the socialist government of the AMLO acorn.
It’s not an act of war (geez!). It’s a mistake from a backwards nation that has poorly trained conscript soldiers and uncontrolled officers. It was handled correctly.
We need the border wall and yards and yard deep razor wire between the fence and the border then we need signs every 20 feet that say us border stay out we really dont want you and we like target practice.
probably a distraction for the cartels drug smuggling activities.everybody’s on their payroll
It was the DRUG cartel looking 4 a opening !
Lookout Mexico you could get your ass kicked real hard and I believe our President needs to act so the Mexican people realalize that they can get hurt bad telling them in no uncertain terms that this type of bullshit can and will lead to war. Appoligize now period and desist from this type of action or if you want war we will comply if need be. Back off now while you can.
The president doesn’t have the balls. Keeps spouting off what ” I MAY CLOSE THE BORDER. NO MORE AIDE. NO ILLEGALS WILL BE RELEASED INTO AMERICA.” Etc. etc. etc. All B S lies. Then does the opposite. Bowing down to piglosis and the other traitors spitting on Americans. Barr spouting shit and pretending to do something. Meanwhile the effing roaches keep coming. Snipers should be out there taking them down. Kids taken to Mexico City and dropped at the presidents palace. STOP BLOWING SMOKE P. TRUMP YOU’RE MAKING AMERICA INTO A SHIT HOLE.
If a war breaks out,who will your neighbors fight for? We need to worry about the people who are all around us.An old mexican man told an american tourist that his people were going to take over America without firing a shot.When he was asked how,he replied their men are moving to America to get as many american women as they can pregnant.That was years ago,look around people.
We have to stop being nice and get tough, real tough. They use our laws against us and that has to stop.
Where is our president??? He seems to be all talk and no ACTION!
What’s next?
Move some apache gunships in there if it happens again kill them
Arm the military with Automatic weapons, Keep Apache gunships on call, Kill every fing Mexican
Shoot the lowlifes on sight!
There is no way to stem the flow of those wishing to exploit the many loop holes in imigration law here in the U.S.. The last spending bill trump signed all but dashed any hope of a solution to the crisis at the U.S., Mexican border.
In essence it made permanent the ability to migrate with a child and guaranty passage and legal residence to a sponsored child and anyone who sponsors that child.The wall is as well a dead issue, as the bill strictly states that no where may any new wall be built with exception to the Rio grande valley with the sole authorization of local officials there. We are no longer a country but, part of a trading block. The New world order is here and we have to take ownership of it because, we let it happen.
Send out troops in a hum-vee armed with an auto 40mm grenade launcher
WTH? What is their job? No one is trying to get into their country? Send them to their South border, there are people sneaking in there.
I agree with all these comments my opinion on this is it’s better to go out on your feet then on your knees so I say bring it on.
the Mexicans are being paid-off by the left-wing wing-nuts who are footing the bill for this mess so they can redistrict and illegals do vote anyone who thinks they don’t is liberal,however they do not want them in their area’s which is already under Democrat control it’s time to rid the Republican party of the RINO’s and act like the party in the white house.Close the border and deport all those who do not show up for their amnesty hearing and stop catch and release if Mexico let them cross their border they remain their until their amnesty hearing is concluded
How did the Mexican army trucks get on our side of the Rio Grande? Something is missing with this report.
Nibiru, the 10th planet that circles the our sun about every 5,124 years came last year closest to us in Nov. and is circling the sun now, and will be coming close to us around July 4, and causing asteroid impacts, it is bigger that Jupiter, as stated in Revelations, a lot of destruction here, keep an eye out for it, and prepare to survive.
The Lord controls the end times. No prep is going to spare those who are not forgiven by the Blood of the Lamb! There is no escape except through repenting of our sins and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is not by works, but by faith in the Grace and Mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. The end will come and then the Judgement. Seek the Lord while He may be found.
Exactly where in Revelations did you find this?
US military should be ordered to take necessary actions to protect themselves and the sovereignty of the US. Armed to the teeth and if attacked return fire. No questions asked.
It’s about time we secure our border to everyone unless they come in legally. When people cross illegally they should be shot and dragged to the border. The representives are just trying for more votes. Put them all in Polosies district
as a non law enforcement land owner i will shoot first and then we can find out who they really are.. tired of the crap 24/7
“Look, the average democrat voter is just plain stupid. They’re easy to manipulate. That’s the easy part.” ~ Hillary Clinton in Rewriting History 2005
Just cut off all the foreign aid we send them and then see how long this crap keeps happening!
That is so obvious!!!!!!!!!!
Hell they could have been cartel masquerading as soldiers. Even if they are Mexican soldiers; this is an outrage we must not stand for. This needs to be taken seriously. It’s no joke.
Million man march to the border and stop the shit. I bet the government would stop us.
This is not the first incident of Mexican military invading US territory. This has happened numerous times in Arizona and New Mexico where the Mexican military was guarding smugglers. They were on USA soil guarding criminals, and were armed. There was no way they could be mistaken as to where the border was. If they were there without the knowledge of the Mexican government the military members should be punished, and if the Mexican government knew of these incursions it should be considered an act of war and treated as such.
do you know that the Mexican army came across uninvited and helped for weeks during the Texas hurricanes and tornadoes and floods?(and Katrina), when our government wasn’t doing diddily. These are our friends and neighbors. Our soldiers have been firing into Mexico for years….. Get a grip. Stop with these hate posts..
A true sympathizer! Every nation needs borders!
We need to stopthisbullshit the US is scared to do anything cause aclu and other bleeding hearts will cry .I say fuck them and the democrats who don’t do anything for our country just crying about president trump they are just sick cry babies that can’t get over losing. Wait till they lose again in2020
William Stout, if you think that the Mexican military are your friends and neighbors you are completely ignorant or just plain stupid. Mexico has tried on numerous occasions to encroach on the sovereignty of the United States of America. They got their asses handed to them at the battle of San Jacinto and have been trying to renew hostilities since then. This is just the latest example of their illegal actions. We need to close the border and shoot anyone who tries to cross it illegally. If you are so fond of the Mexicans why don’t you move to Mexico. We won’t miss you!
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
I don’t know how many of you aggressive folks have served in the armed forces, but speaking as one who has there
is no glory in firing on men who have no more idea what’s going on than you do. Holding the border with overwhelming force is the most peaceful solution we have.
A boarder wall would prevent all this hostility and BS.
The Democrats have 2 reason for not wanting a boarder wall.
Democratic votes and more representation in Congress.
Democrats give enough stuff away, they give false hope our to our millennials.
Socialism and communism never works. Look a Venezuela, Cuba, Russia.
That’s unAmerican! All these Democrat leaders are un American. They have a chromison missing.
What a hell of a way to hold our wonderful country hostage to MS13, gangs, drugs,Cartel,muslems,terrists radical Islamists you name it.
This is not the first time armed Mexican soldiers have crossed our border. In this case, they could not capture the offenders and it can be considered ‘accidental’ and not a sufficient incident to declare war. In past incidences in California the Mexicans were support troops for drug shipments.
I agree with most statements here, and it needs to be now!
Our Soldiers working the border better start arriving with a back up squad to keep an eye on the Mexicans. I have said before and I will always say it. We should have declared war on Mexico a long time ago and straightened this BS out. They don’t allow people to cross their Southern Border unless those people are heading for the US. Not kosher in my book. If the Mexicans want to play this game, we can out too.
Fhck off!
Comment has not shown up. Am I being censored?

If this was an honest mistake I can forgive and forget because none of our people were harmed. However, it is a mistake and it needs to be addressed and Mexico needs to make sure it doesn’t happen again. But from some of the news I’ve heard it might be drug cartel related and if it is, those responsible need to be arrested. I don’t want to go to war over this incident, I fought in and got shot in the Viet Nam War and I don’t want to see young men sent into and have to live with the aftermath of a war for the rest of their lives over this incident. I’ve also heard a lot of criticism of the civilian militia that is now patrolling our border. I don’t like it either but unfortunately a lot of us are sick and tired of these do nothing but obstruct politicians who care nothing about us or our country. The only thing they care about is their political future and their billfold. I’m a democrat. Yes I know the obstructionist are democrats, that’s why I voted Trump and will again in 2020. I’m a Trumpcrat.
This website has blocked my comments several times.
I just read your comment in three different parts of this discussion, so they aren’t blocking it, you just aren’t finding it.
I’ve commented twice on the issue of how did the Mexican army get a truck and armed soldiers across the Rio Grande to confront our guys on our side of the border, and questioning how their “tactically fast” could have prevented our guys from keying a microphone to report what was happening in real time. It has not made it through censoring. Maybe as a reply?
How did a Mexican truck get across the river (Rio Grande) with armed soldiers? And, the Mexican troops were so “tactically fast” there was no time for a radio transmission? Somethings are missing from this story!
I think we should take all pelosi , aoc. omar ,shummer , mueller and a few more berrie too money built the wall and hang their heads at the entrance put a base right there to stop everything no matter what no more games these demo/socialist are selling out our country so they can be in control , maybe people we need a million people to go there new town made and we put an end to it forever its time to take back America , or just take soros who is backing it all
This must be thouroughly investigated. Every inch of the border needs to be video monitored. We cannot risk US servicemen and women!!
Hey Trump.I voted you to be my President. You have too many promises that you do not fulfill. You promise to shut the border with Mexico then you back out.
Common Trump have the balls or I will not be voting for you. You look like you do not have the balls. Now the Mexican military is trespassing our border to capture our military man. What are you going to do another promise? that you do not fulfill? Cammon Trump be brave to do so,meting. Send our combat troops to defend our country.
Angry Bert
If this happens again, if possible detain them then release them by pelosi, waters or feinstein’s compounds. They want them, let them have them.
They were testing our readness dry fire they should be no next time these Mexican soldiers were out of line it should not have happened
During the Obumo ADM… with totally open borders .. the cartel buddies of Obumo AG Eric Holder drove easily back and forth with their drugs… with the Mex Military flying over head .. across the border into the USA.. protecting the drug shipments……
LETS MAKE SURE TRUMP WINS THE ELECTION SO HE CAN FINISH WHAT HE STARTED!
William Stout
If this is true, and I don’t for a minute believe it’s not!
Why wouldn’t an honest tv network talk about something positive.
After these major events down there one would think Our American public would want to hear something positive the Mexican government has done for America. All we hear is negative. I guess that’s CNNs Mantra.
The thing that really gets me is that the United States military cannot defend our boarder. That’s crazy , I also know this rule was established after the civil war,Congress came up with this rule to take power away from Abraham Lincoln. But I think this rule is being misused because our military is not being dispatched against American citizens but are defending our boarders against foreign invaders. They should be allowed to do that it’s crazy
All of the previous comments were made with too little thought, or no thought at all
No one should get in anymore..we have too many problems here to take care of…let’s stop taking a soft stand..and do whatever it takes to keep our borders secure ….build the wall..
This is not the first time something like this has happened. There has been a time or 2 where a Mexican Army helo has fired on a Texas town.
these could be drug cartel punks trying to start a war
This happened and the Democrats will sit around with their thumb up their exhaust pipe. They are a bunch of sissified twits. The Republicans would be on this like white on rice!
The sooner you recognize them for what they are that being the communist a.k.a. Democrat party the faster will get this charade of the so-called people who care about America are there, missed activist to destroy this country that being the comments they gave Democrat party and the affiliates in the Republican Party. 45 goals of communism to take down United States read them!
We put up way too much crap at the border..even our border agents play too much political correctness with these refugees….the drug cartels have murdered millions of people over the years…including many border agents….that border should be considered a dangerous and hostile environment…and all Americans should be aware of the dangers there….if the United States government takes a lacks approach to the border and it’s dangers..then we deserve what ever happens….the next time our agents should be well armed and when approached again ..our troops should bring their weapons at the ready and not hesitate to shoot…when u.s. military are disarmed by anyone at the border..it’s a sad day…
I don’t recall the exact date, but several years ago our border patrol officers on our side of the border were fired upon by Mexican Military from a helicopter. My question has always been: Why wasn’t that hostile helicopter shot down?
This is another good reason we need the wall built now!!!!Pelsoie and her gang are going to get us in a war with Mexico over some stupid thing like this!!BULID THE WALL NOW!!!!!!!!!!! The dumbocrats need to stop playing get Trump at all cost,and get back to what they were elected to do!!The voters are tired of all their bull crap,and all the tax dollars they have wasted for nothing….I think the dumbocrats need to be held accountable for their do nothing attitude!!!I hope the voters wake up ansee all the crap they are trying to force onus,Socialsim for one,that never has worked..All the dumb young people believe all their crap.All they think is they are going to get everything for free..not going to happen!
It is high time to build the wall regardless of what the liberal corrupt ungodly DNC wants, they are finding ways to further get illegals in with, drugs, sex slaves with Pelosi, Schumer and Warren supporting them for votes as they can not enter any election race on an honest US Regulations and their funding of illegals, Abortion (Murder), same marriage at taxpayers and Federal funding them. President Trump needs to give the word and let all Veterans, Military and Law Enforcement take control once and for all, we have had it with Islam wearing Religion jihads of hate but condemn hats support of our President, as a Vietnam Veteran still in great shape would be the 1st. to want to keep them out at all cost, would rather die protecting our country than the DNC Pelosi and sidekicks of destruction to the USA, to keep them out with illegals deported out with Cortez, Omar, and Tlaib, have no place in US Politics, run your own country.
If America did the right thing with these illegals they would quit coming.
Don’t fuck with the US military.
People this is reported by cnn and they are one of the worst for reporting twisted stories there also known just to make shit up to see people’s reaction.. There ratings depend on how many views they have and how much they charge for advertising (that’s there money maker). We only matter as a tick mark in there viewer column. If it’s true something needs done but it’s probably just another bunch of BS….
Time to make Mexico understand this country does not belong to them. If they are so bold to try it again they will need a good supply of body bags
Cut off all funding south of the border till Mexico has the wall built
I’m glad that I wasn’t in the WH when our Pres. heard this———-I bet things were flying.
Should have shot the bastards ! They can’t take care of their own country against the drug cartels but decide to “Post Up” on U.S. soldiers on American soil ? That’s a special kind of STUPID !
Castrate all males who are illegals when caught on this side of the border. When the word gets out that crossing the border illegally could cost you your nuts when caught might change some minds about coming to America as an illegal.
Very, very good comments. Close the Border, cut Mexico funding, Send all illegals back into Mexico. BUILD THAT WALL, TRUMP 2020
RED ALL THE WAY 2020
Patsey is right, we need to build the wall, but, it should have been done 40 – 50 years ago or maybe even 60 years ago. Also, as I said in my last comment, I’m a democrat, but don’t identify me with the Pelosicrats. I’m a Trumpcrat. I understand that Pelosi is telling the democratic congressmen/women what to support and what to oppose and what to vote for and against. You talk about a corrupt system. Were those people elected by the voters in their district to represent their voters or to represent Pelosi. The voters need new people to represent them and not represent Pelosi. Those people in Washington D.C. still don’t understand why Trump won, it’s because we are sick and tired of politicians and Trump isn’t one, he had never held political office. Hope he wins again. If the Capitol Building was a big commode I would volunteer to pull the handle.
We owe Mexico a serious ass beating.
Blow the wet back brains out
that was a move to see how strong we are on the boarder, STOP messing around and SEND more MUCH more military people to the damn boarder. Those soldiers went back and told others and sooner or later, we will be in BIGGER TROUBLE at the boarder than we are RIGHT NOW !
The minute any military from any other country sets foot on our soil they should be shot and killed. PERIOD.
If the cheap business men wouldn’t give them jobs. Any one who gives them a job Should pay heavy fines, they would not come. Stop giving them welfare, it’s our money and it’s not up to the government to give it away. We r paying their salaries and they just throw our money around like they earned it. Stop giving them aide, close the border, shoot to kill. If the do goder’s don’t like it let them go to Mexico, maybe they can straighten out the country.
this is a lie. Our troups were on US soil between the wall and the Mexican border.
America could and should be doing something that would send the illegals back across the border screaming.
Mexico needs to be informed if such an incident happens again the US will not make excuses for them, it will be seen as an act of invasion and war, the US will not tolerate a second happening no matter what the excuse
I want to become an illegal so I can get all of the freebies.
Land mines work in Guantanamo Bay. They can work on our southern border. More economical than using military personnel.
Just call a few of the “good ol boys” down there in Texas and let them do a little Target shooting practice.
Better take a FIRM hold on this INVASiON. STOP them in their tracks. Make a big impression on them.
It saddens me that our soldiers gave up their weapons. If Mexico has soldiers working for ther drug cartels and coyote’s, we should give them the ass whooping they are asking for. Mexican military acting against orders and working on behalf of the outlaws should not be considered Mexican soldiers and fired upon. I hope and pray our men and women aren’t on our borders under the BarryO rules, no ammo allowed in their guns.
NEXT TIME SOME MILITARY OR PARA MILITARY GROUP IS FOUND ON US PROPERTY SHOOT THE SOB’S FIRST THEN AS QUESTIONS.
I SAY CLOSE THE BORDER, STOP US DOLLARS BEING TRANSFERRED TO MEXICO,, SANCTION THE BASTARDS. TEACH THEM A LESSON THEY WON’T SOON FORGET. LET THEM EAT DIRT AND DOG TURDS WITH ROBERT FRANCIS O’ROURKE
It’s time to shut the back door Mr President use all the border workers to keep these cockroaches down south and out of the pockets of the American people .enough is enough Americans need to realize ever $ they use to buy ileagal drugs goes right south to the cartels to make that chit hole even more violent and profitable.you may be giving the $ to a friend orlocal dealer but may as well be handing it to cartels .smartin up america get clean and quit feeding the problem
Hey, PIGLOSSI, THE SPEACHLESS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
So, In Your Small, Shriveled, Demented Mind, You Think it is OK to Allow Unauthorized Mexican Soldiers to INVADE THE UNITED STATED, TAKR U.S. SOLDIERS CAPTIVE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY (THE UNITED STATES), DISARM THOSE SOLDIERS WHO ARE DOING THEIR ASSIGNED DUTY, HOLD THESE SOLDIERS PRISONERS, INTERROGATE THEM REGARDING THEIR PROPER LOCATION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES BORDER.
Suppose this MESS had Resulted in the DEATH OF U.S. SOLDIERS, were you just going to ESCUSE IT AS A REGRETTABLE MISTAKE, Just Like You REFUSE to Meet with ANGEL FAMILIES. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR A$$ AND DO YOUR JOB, MOST AMERICANS WANT THAT WALL TO PROTECT THESE UNITED STATES, SO DO WHAT YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO, not what you think will MOST FINANCIALLY BENEFIT YOU AND YOUR SCUM BAGGED THEIVING “FRIENDS”, Because the NEXT TIME and THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME (YOU CAN BET ON IT) You Might just have to EXPLAIN to Some SOLDIER’S FAMALIES WHY YOU ALLOWED THEIR SONS OR DAUGHTERS TO DIE FOR YOUR PROFIT.
PROUD VIET NAM VET (TET’68, 173RD & 5TH GROUP), RETIRED LEO, AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!!
This is an invasion and we should be arresting everyone of them as they are helping the drug lords down the streets get their products over the Borders. Arrest them and charge all of them NOW!
It is not any type of hate statement when other government military crosses the border with guns drawn and force our me to throw down their weapons – that is a military act of aggression and needed to treated as such.
Shot to kill if it happens again – their military crosses the border with guns drawn.
I am thinking when the Mexican military helped with hurricane damage they did not have their guns drawn – totally different situation there.
The Mexican Army is not in control of the boarder, very seldom other than approved boarder crossing are there any Mexican Army action…. officially, the Cartels are in control of the border on the Mexican side. Mexican Military units are under control of the Cartels. The reason the Mexican Military unit was at the boarder was to support the Cartel smuggling… U.S. personnel just stumbled into a Cartel operation. The Cartels don’t like competition and perhaps it was thought the U.S. personnel were bandits as they were not driving easily seen marked vehicles.. but dollars to donuts, within 20 miles a Cartel operation is or was underway.
I’m SICK AND TIRED OF THAT SHITHOLE COUNTRY treating America like they own us. They do nothing but cause trouble for us.They let all of the illegals right through their country and expect America to take care of them, and the drug cartels control all of Mexico which leads to all the drug problems we have here. Wake up America!! before it’s to late.
In that area, I would wonder if they were actual Mexican military, or “military” of the cartels making sure the drugs were getting through.
They won’t stop migrants. They detain Our Soldiers, Sounds like an act of aggression, it should be dealt with severely!
one more reason we don’t need MEXICO and they need us more than we need them. the lack of education and “RAMBO” style from the cartel supports the building of a wall. If a migrant has a trade or craft we need then offer them a work VISA other wisw stay out.
This website is nothing more than a tRump conspiracy site!!!
We need to pull our troops out of every SH%$hole country they are deployed in at this time, and line them up on the border with orders to shoot to KILL
I wonder how many of these good folks, with good intentions realize how difficult it is for our military. With all the rules of engagement, that change with every given situation, our men and women are put in danger of loosing their lives because politicians want to play soldier. These two men followed the rules of engagement and prevented the lose of life on either side. If these “military” were not wearing the uniform of the Mexican army, then they could have been treated as spies. Some of you are probably correct in saying it is a possibility that this incursion may have been drug cartel members claiming to be Mexican Military, testing the resolve of our country and finding out exactly how much they can get away with because of the ridiculous rules of engagement set forth by non military politicians. That is the problem,,,the greater percentage of our “leaders” have never put on our uniform or faced any kind of danger from the enemy in the field.
Seems Mexico is getting rather bold they refuse to stop illegals from crossing their country now they want to confront US troops bad move.
Sounds like a test. How do you actually KNOW they were from the Mexican Military? The US is being tested at the border, because something is about to go down
Before we get TOO excited by the confrontation, note the last paragraph:
“Though they were south of the border fence, U.S. soldiers remained in U.S. territory, north of the actual border,” the statement explained.
The border is poorly marked there, I would presume. If I saw an unmarked vehicle on the south side of the border fence, I could easily assume that it was someone on “their side” who was up to no good.
A screwup? Yes! Incompetence? Yup. But was it some nefarious plot, or intentional confrontation? Naahhh.
Indeed, such scrutiny of the fence border area by the Mex army is something we’d likely like to see MORE of.
We need shoot to kill orders.
I am surprised that this has not been reported by the mainstream media as of yet. Wonder why? Suppose this sort of thing doesn’t support their narrative. I think it is time to send our military to the Southern border with the approval of carrying more powerful weapons than a 45 caliber handgun. And give them the right to fire if necessary to take out any threats. No questions. No second guessing. We are being invaded by hostile people and they need to be neutralized. Now.
” both the uniforms of the Mexican soldiers and their truck were not marked with “identifiable seals or symbols.”
There’s Your Answer Right There…They Weren’t Part of the Real Mexican Military…but…Fake
Past time to militarise the southern border. Give the mexxies what they want.. a border war with the USA. And next time, send in the military in to chase down “rogue” units of invaders.. crossing the border as necessary to bring them to justice. These “unmarked” soldiers may well have been cartel people. In any event they should have been pursued and shot. This crap must not be allowed to happen!
A 5-7 man patrol would be much safer for our soldiers. SAW eguipted. Let god sort out the bastards. Close the boarder. Get the wall up. Send them back to their country at their expense. The world has changed.
The Army should put into effect fire when sighted these invaders
The Mexican scum know where the border begins and ends. This incident only serves to bolster the need for a wall along the entire border to secure American citizens. President Trump needs to give the order for the U.S. military to fire on the Mexican military in any future escalation by the Mexican rabble.The Mexican military is hard to distinguish from the Mexican Cartel members since they work closely together. I personally blame Sam Houston for not having hung Santa Ana when he had captured him during the U.S. Mexican war in the 1800’s. This failure made it look like Americans were afraid to act to avenge our honor. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Enough said.
Build the long overdue wall
