Major Border Incident Could Spark War With Mexico

US Department of Defense

Reminiscent of the 1848 attack on American forces by Mexico, Mexican troops disarmed and detained two soldiers in unmarked border patrol cars. The Washington Examiner reports:

Armed Mexican troops disarmed two United States soldiers while they were on the American side of the border, U.S. defense officials have said.

U.S. Northern Command said in a statement that “five to six Mexican military personnel questioned two U.S. Army soldiers who were conducting border support operations” this month. The U.S. soldiers were in an unmarked Customs and Border Protection [CBP] vehicle near the southwest border near Clint, Texas.

Officials confirmed that the Mexican troops were armed with what seemed to be rifles. They raised their weapons when they saw the two U.S. soldiers, and then took a pistol from one and put it in the CBP vehicle. According to officials talking to CNN, the two Americans obliged “in an attempt to de-escalate a potential volatile situation.”

“Throughout the incident, the U.S. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols,” the statement said. The two U.S. troops were on the south side of the security perimeter but north of the Rio Grande and thus were in the U.S., according side American territory, it added.

This is outrageous. Not only does Mexico let thousands of illegals cross into America, but are now invading sovereign American territory and arresting our men and women in uniform. It’s time for Congress to act and BUILD THE WALL.

Or we should! A shoot out is what these Mexico goons are going to cause and the so be it. Proves their military is doing nothing but harassing our military on our side of that border and likely delivering the illegal aliens to that border or escorting them. Make sure Mexico knows there will be consequences if this happens again. And why are they on our side of that border at all? Then detaining our military? This is just not acceptable. What is their excuse if they have one. But be alert and make sure there are more military around to disarm them, arrest them, escort them to our posts and get to the bottom of what the idiots of Mexico think they are doing on our land.

We need to be armed with rubber bullets, I bet that will stop whoever wants to come over illegally. Take out the adult males/females. ’nuff of this nonsense. We should grab all the Congressmen/women and put them down there to defend the border. Maybe then they’ll figure out what’s going on…and just maybe, something will happen to them?!

Using rubber bullets against an armed force is like taking a knife to a gun fight. Who ever has the rubber bullets is going to lose. Congress needs to get behind our President and take forceful action against our enemy and mexico has been our enemy for years.

America has been too complacent with this southern border situation!!! Either we get serious about stopping illegals and stop these ridiculous entitlements, or our country will become a 3rd world country as is Mexico!!!!

It’s not America that’s been complacent it’s the Democrats who WANT the illegals so they can vote! They know they can’t win honestly against President Trump so they do this underhanded thing that is bringing thousands to our border. This just shows that Pelosi and her posse don’t care about us. They just care about themselves. The courts should step in and stop the persecution of our President. They are sick!

Give Mexico an ultimatum either teach your military where the border is and if an incident like this happens again the US will take it as a declaration of war, they cannot be allowed to get away with this, these men were not stupid they knew exactly where the border was and accosted the soldiers just because they outnumbered them the US needs to have Mexico identify these men and fine them for creating a national incident

Outrageous. Furthermore, HOW could 2 U.S. Soldiers
‘let’ ? Themselves BE Dis-Armed, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
ON U.S. Soil. I Do Not ‘know’ specifics. BUT, IF LAW say
‘Stand Down’ THEN Law NEED be adjusted To Protect
American Soil. Some Legislation IS ‘sponsored’ by Non-Patriots
& Traitors. & WE Know ‘it’. A TOTAL MAJOR Dis-graceful TEST.
The 2 U.S Soldiers MUST Be Held ACCOUNTABLE for ‘cowardly’
back down.
