Mexican leaders say the soldiers, who had just been deployed to Nuevo Laredo, didn’t know the area, got lost and then made their way through Bridge Two.

Article said it’s not clear if they actually made it “through”. Uhhh... they either did or they didn’t? Where’s the “reporting”? /s

How could those Mexican soldiers be expected to know they were crossing the largest river in the southwest?

What does ‘Ricky Ricardo Perry’ have to say about this violation into his ‘Texas’?

Just another reason to have a border that is actually controlled.

My new theory on how to fix things is to get (near) absolute control of the border and then to put and keep drug users on the South side where all the drugs are.

Our so-called Federal government, at its best. Anything for votes. Ain’t it amazing how Mexico controls American “foreign policy”.

“Hey, what’s that river?”
“Oh, that’s the umm, uh, the Trinity, maybe?”

The blaze has produced stories short on facts before. If you read the whole story they say they don’t know if the troops ever crossed the boarder. I calling the headline a lie to gain traffic to their site.

They just wanted to return their Fast and Furious guns to the ATF.

They sure do seem to get lost a lot and they always seem to end up getting lost here.

I guarantee the mexican military wouldn’t get lost in the states if there were American military within sight of the borders.
