A convoy of three Mexican military trucks loaded down with soldiers and weapons may have violated territorial sovereignty near Laredo, TX on Thursday, driving through a border checkpoint and crossing into the United States.

KGNS-TV reports the crossing happened at a section known as Bridge Number Two:

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.

Hey How come Barack has that FENCE around the White House? Doesn't he know it divides people and is unnecessary?

On more than one occassion, Armed U.S. Army patrols in West Germany accidentally crossed into Czechoslovakia. In one incident, they sat down in a Gasthaus and ordered dinner. The somewhat surprised locals called the cops who managed to resolve the situation without creating a diplomatic fuss. On one occassion, a lost convoy of a Pershing Missile battery actually tried to cross a border checkpoint into Czechoslovakia after getting lost on their way to Camp Grafenwehr.

I just hope they went back to Mexico once they realized their “mistake”.

Exploratory mission to see how easy it really is to enter the US.

I am a Border Patrol agent and I can tell you that the American people have no idea how often the Mexican military crosses.

We get Mexican military on trail cams all the time, or at least they are people dressed as Mexican military with AK-47s.

Years ago a USAF convoy carrying a Minuteman III re-entry vehicle got lost and ended up in Canada.

Not pleasant when we annexed a small part of their territory as a National Defense Area when the convoy was stopped.

So all the traffic is people going to Mexico? Undocumented workers heading home for the evening?

[SwinneySwitch]

It was like that this morning. Only a few cars were headed to the US. I didn’t check the other bridges.

Commuter traffic to the Maquiladoras.
