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.
So, who will be the first to shoot the messenger?
Reps. want illegals for cheap labor.
Dems. want illegals for easy votes.
The US is screwed.
And the illegals like pedro because that means there is someone stupider than they are.
#40 “So tell us, again, what voting laws are the Democrats opposing? Please try to be a little more specific than making a blanket statement.”
Google is your friend. You can now limit your search to a time frame. I’d say limit it to 18 months.

Actually, you said it, you get to defend it. Not the other way around.
You show the proof. It’s not someone else’s duty to prove you wrong. You’re making a well-known logical fallacy.
#42 Still melting down, I see. Good.
#44 “Actually, you said it, you get to defend it. Not the other way around.”
Actually, when I state well know facts I don’t bother. Like, “Texas got hit by a hurricane recently.” I don’t post the link.
Anything that has been covered EXTENSIVELY by all of the MSM as top stories I don’t bother with. Not my job to bring you up to date if you choose to live under rock, disconnected from civilization.

Apparently the words “logical” and “fallacy” are not in your vocabulary.
You lose the debate.
$47 No debate to lose. What has happened has happened. Whether you choose to look it up doesn’t change reality.
You’re right, no debate to lose.
You haven’t provided proof of anything you say, so there really isn’t a debate.
For your sake, take a debate class.
we should apologize to the mexican gov’t for putting border patrol there.
they deserve to be in this country just as much as we do.
the white man stole this land anyways!
It’s high time the United States hold them accountable for this.
If someone invades my property, I’ve got the right to defend myself by any means necessary. We need to send the message that this will not be tolerated and if that means a few invaders die, so be it.
Then we need to deport all illegal aliens and enforce the damn law. What ever happened to the US being a sovereign nation? We need to reclaim our seat at the head of the table.
This “sleeping giant” has been asleep for too long! It’s about time we woke up and let the rest of the world know that we are the United State and we wont stand for acts like these! Invade our territory and you will pay the price.
#46–Paddy==actually your “facts” are not that well known which is why you were challenged on it. You did say it and you do have the burden which you fail to meet meaning the fair inference is you have been caught blowing wind.
I do recall some groups opposing voter ID and they were lefties and maybe even a few Dem’s were against it, but I don’t recall that being a position of the democratic party.
It takes a man to admit an error/overstatement. Takes a fool to dance around it.
#51 – Patriotic American
Again, how many sovereign nations has the US invaded and/or occupied since 1945?
#53–Jag==excellent link but rather well known. Don’t miss at least one of the other links on your page–I was saddened by the reminders of what our old active CIA was up to during the same period==”shocking” is a fair review:]

It’s amazing how much illegal stuff the CIA managed to get away with… selling drugs and weapons to finance their business.
#53 How many has cuba since 53?
#56 – pedro
Make a list for us, pedro.
Actually, Cuba’s “medical intervention” is quite extensive:

#56, peahead,
OK, how many countries has Cuba invaded since ’53.
Then why not tally up the number of countries that has invited Cuban nationals into their countries to help.
#59 as soon as you make the one where the US has been invited to help.
