Confrontations With Military Uniformed Mexicans Getting Common At Southern Border
0 Comments
Last week’s latest Mexican-standoff between three Texas sheriff’s deputies, at least two Texas state troopers and at least 10 heavily armed men from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande has validated a serious breech of border security, that left unchecked will cause loss of lives. There have been over 216 incursions since the late 1990’s and several Border Patrol agents have been wounded in the confrontations.
Mexican officials have insisted their military is not involved with these incidents. Fox News reports:
The Mexican Foreign Relations Department issued a statement saying that drug traffickers and other organized criminals have used uniforms and vehicles before. "It is possible that these actions were designed to damage the image of our armed forces," it said.
The article continues:
Police stopped and watched as the vehicles began to cross the shallow river into Mexico. Both sides — the Americans and the smugglers — had their weapons drawn.
One SUV got stuck in the river, and another blew a tire on the Texas side. Its driver ran into Mexico.
U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza has called for an investigation by Mexican officials over these incidents. Now the Mexican government are putting the blame on the U.S. World Net Daily reports Mexico’s response:
"Members of the U.S. Army have helped protect people who were processing and transporting drugs," Derbez told a news conference. "And just as that has happened … it is very probable that something like that could have happened, that in reality they (the uniformed men at the border) were members of some of their groups disguised as Mexican soldiers with Humvees."
Texas Governor Rick Perry has ordered an investigation. But will our government do anything that might upset the Mexican government?
