OK, so I don't know if this is considered a main stream source or not. I tend to stay with CNN and then think for myself. I got a link to it on Fox on Facebook. It does appear to have happened. And maybe it has been posted, but I haven't seen it.


​A Mexican law enforcement helicopter crossed into the United States early Thursday and fired on two US Border Patrol agents.

Andy Adame, a spokesperson for US Border Patrol, said in a statement issued soon afterward that the incident had indeed occurred and that the two government agents targeted were not injured.

The incident occurred early Thursday around 100 yards north of the US/Mexico border, Adame said, around eight miles southwest of the Village of San Miguel on the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation.

and this administration will accept the apology and nothing will happen to improve border security.:mrgreen:

It is good news that the agents were not hurt. The crossing into the US by Mexican military personnel has got to stop.
 
Probably a honest mistake...

I agree. Too bad they weren't there to grab a few of the ones who jumped the river.

Wonder if its legal for someone from Mexico to bring military type weapons into the US? Let alone firing at a federal agent (BOR).

Seems the people in the helicopter should be thrown in jail. But that won't happen. Not to derail the tread, when one of our own mistakenly enteres Mexico, admits he has weapons, sits in a Mexican jail. Makes you wonder who the Adminstration is supporting.:mrgreen:

mexico is only following our example.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

:roll:

Have you ever seen a border crossing? Really? An honest mistake? Bull****!

And the Mexican military shot at US Border Patrol for what reason? Perhaps we should declare war on Mexico and invade them... again. Would solve the illegal immigration problem. Oh had Polk had the trait of foresight :lol:

You avoid CNN because you prefer to, "think for yourself," yet, you do not hesitate to source from FOX?

That made me giggle some. I needed a giggle. TGIF.

Have a great weekend!

The person in jail last I checked isn't a government official, and frankly how our liberal gun laws are and how many weapons end up in Mexico, I can't really blame the Mexican government for throwing the book at the guy. He was a moron for crossing the border, even if it was accident. And for the record Mexico isn't alone in this, Canada has done the same to US citizens.

Where did you learn to read? I said I 'tend to stay with CNN.' I don't giggle that you can't read. I feel rather sorry for you.

Ummm there is no mention of a Border Crossing but crossing the border. not a noun but a verb. 100 yards across the border in Arizona, two shots fired and everyone says it is a mistake.
 
Someone should have shot it down and then they could have deleted their hard drives and claimed a video on youtube made them do it - all would have been fine.

I tend to stay away from peeing on an electric fence myself. But that doesn't mean that, "sometimes I do."

Perhaps I misunderstood you.

It matters not how you feel. You are rather insignificant to me. I just thought it to be somewhat ironic. Just pointing it out. I mean no harm.

You still can't read. Damnation! I did not say I stay away from CNN. I said I 'stay with CNN.' Jesus ****ing Christ. Where did you go to school? Or perhaps you are still in kindergarten. No. I know kindergarten kids that read better than that.

More likely corrupt Mexican military running interference for Mexican drug cartels.

Your president will leap to embrace their apology and take no action whatsoever.

Ahhh.........someone who can read. At last. Or perhaps who just isn't drunk already.

Does anyone really have a handle on all the ways Obama can sell this country out? I think it will be decades after he is out of office before we know even close to everything.

Yes, the US citizen was a moron to take weapons into Mexico.

At least he didn't shoot at anyone.

The Mexican Military personnel can't be to bring either to be shooting at Border Patrol personel.

So your ok with the Mexican military crossing the border and shooting at BP?
