U.S. Border Patrol agents on the American side of the Rio Grande were forced to take cover Friday night when high-caliber weaponry was fired at them from the Mexican side of the river, sources told FoxNews.com.
The weapons were fired at the U.S. side of the riverbank in the area of the Rincon Peninsula across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico, at about 8:30 p.m., sources said. Bullets ricocheted into an area where Border Patrol agents were positioned, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told FoxNews.com.
Border Patrol sources confirmed Gohmert’s account, and said the shots may have been fired by .50-caliber weapons.
“We don’t have any armor that can stop a .50-caliber round, so our Border Patrol agents had to take cover when the rounds were richocheting around them,” said Gohmert, who has been in the area for the last week to get a first-hand look at the border situation.

Why are they shooting when they could just come over, get free clothes, meals, a shower and bus fare to anywhere in the USA?
A set of balls. The only reason he isn’t is because the establishment GOP is pro-amnesty and alot of Perry’s $$$ backers are too...he doesn’t want to ruin his 2016 run. Perry can call them out, but instead he’ll just pose with Hannity running around looking tough on the issue.
0bama is too busy playing ... at anything ....
the Impostor Moslem Tyrant could not give a damn.
the hated, EXEMPT Congress could not give a damn.
Traitors all!
They’re firing at the Border Guards....Do you really think the Texas National Guard is going to fir into Mexico?
Counter fire then with the same, they’ll fold like a wet noodle!
Probably having a beer and reading the Koran.
Hell. At this point send in a batch of good, seasoned hunters with scoped .308 rifles.
I’ll bet they’d inflict more damage than those POS cartel scumbags.
Shades of Pancho Villa! Black Jack Pershing, where are you?
I am starting to look back fondly at the Clinton years. At least then we knew he was only boinking his Interns, not all of us.
How many acts of war will we endure and not respond.
Next it’ll be rockets.
man is not yet capable to do or know what to do to have an earth that is living in the will of Christ, we need God and the new kingdom to be fulfilled...come Lord..
When is America going to start shooting back at these lowlife bastards?
For all you Texans, please read the wikipedia on The battle of Chapultepec (halls of Montezuma) 1847 where Americans once again had to fight against Santa Anna some 11 years after the Alamo. There were well known heroes on both sides of the civil war, fight against the Mexicans. Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, Scott, Beauregard, etc. The Marines wear a blood stripe on their pants because of this battle.
Also Antonio López de Santa Anna. After having executed 342 Texan prisoners in 1836 (the same March month of the Alamo) he was allowed to return to Mexico by president Andrew Jackson (looks alot like John Kerry I might add) in 1837. This really chaps me right here, later in life he lived in New York of all places.
Note to service men: traitors need to be killed or hanged outright when you catch them. Enough is enough, we’re being fired on. I’m at a rally point.
Most likely, he is in the counting room counting up the funds raised!!!
Some law makers and other officials need to be dragged by their ears down to the border and have to stand there for 48 hours day and night. I don't mean 5 miles away I mean at the border. I'd drag a few special interest donors behind the invasion down there as well. Let them crap their pants.
If the House wants to put pressure on Obama to do something, it could pass a Declaration of War resolution and then send it over to the Senate for action or inaction. But, at least it would require a response.
read it in the papers
Could take more than weeks, if they learned to read via commie core. Or if the reporters learned to write using commie core, no one can understand it.
And Hussein is arming both sides.
