Border patrol agent held at gunpoint
Officers fear Mexican military encounters will turn violent

A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.

Agents assigned to the Border Patrol station at Ajo, Ariz., said the Mexican soldiers crossed the international border in an isolated area about 100 miles southwest of Tucson and pointed rifles at the agent, who was not identified.

It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers.

“Unfortunately, this sort of behavior by Mexican military personnel has been going on for years,” union Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) said on its Web page. “They are never held accountable, and the United States government will undoubtedly brush this off as another case of ‘Oh well, they didn’t know they were in the United States.’

“It is fortunate that this incident didn’t end in a very ugly gunfight,” said the local’s posting.

The NBPC represents all nonsupervisory personnel among the agency’s 16,000 agents.

Border Patrol spokesman Michael Friel did not return calls for comment Tuesday.

State Department spokeswoman Nicole Thompson said Tuesday that the department had no information on the incident, and referred further questions to the Border Patrol. “It is not an incident that we are aware of,” she said.

Um Pardon me, but I think this would constitute an armed incursion in ANY nation on earth, well except France.

Some folks seem to think we should just let this continue, they meant no harm it was strictly a misunderstanding…Bullshit! This was, and it has been an armed invasion of a nation and our politicians are too damn stupid to deal with it, the main reason they aren’t dealin with it is POLITICS it has nothing to do with what is right, it is “IF we do something we lose the Hispanic vote” then we have to find a job. OR and this is the best reason… “IF we do what needs to be done, it will be considered racism, and the media will help the la-raza folks”

Screw it, I am sick of the PCness of our politicians, our so-called Biased media and all of the whining, bleeding heart libtards (and at least one RINO) I am ready for the damn Rio Grande to run red with blood from the invaders….I have said it once if I have said a thousand times, WE NEED TO CONTROL OUR BORDERS. Right now WE don’t, the drug runners, the coyote’s and the Mexican Corrupt military/police control OUR border and for a nation as strong as WE are this is pathetic.

We have been nice, we have been compassionate, look what we have got for it. We got a prison system full of worthless ILLEGAL Immigrants kids, we got an education system DUMBED down to the point of a 3rd world nation because of the dual language learning because it’s offensive to people that only speak spanish, again due to the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT KIDS we call ANCHORS.

Call it a hate speech because honestly right now it is, I hate the fact that we as a nation can not control our borders because no one is standing up for what is right. Time to stand up or you will be run over. I call it like I see it and it’s FUCKING TIME the rest of our nation does too.
