Hmmm. Spose the Mexigovernment is meaning to establish soveriegnty over some land north of the border. If they increase the number, extent, and personnel and go unchallenged, Mexico may just put itself in position of owning some currently US real estate after awhile.
Given the recent addition to Homeland Security of one Jackboot John Magaw, you should ask yourself, who does the administration plan to burn alive in their homes?
Hint: It won't be Mexican invaders.
"Borders! We don' need no Steenkin' borders!"
Kick them out and the Toyoda they rode in on.

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
It's stunning that this is the state of our border in time of war, 4 years after 9-11.
Sounds like an iffy story, actually. What would be the logic of "Mexican military incursions?" There's nothing to be gained from them.
Should work both ways, now shouldn't it?
I can see units being bought off. But it's rather difficult to see this being done as a policy of the Mexican government.
Just to see if they can.
I had good info that there *used to be* evidence of Russian military excursions on Alaskan shores.
And I personally know of an incident on the East German border where a patrol got a bit misoriented in some heavy brush and emerged on the wrong side of the markers. But that was an accident.
Perhaps, but I rather doubt it. There are better explanations than it being an official policy of the Mexican government. For example, it's easy to imagine poorly-paid Mexican soldiers being bought off by a very wealthy drug or people smuggler.

Sure ... in the context of the Cold War. We're not in a cold war with Mexico, though. The illegal immigration problem is a result of other factors, primarily domestic, on both sides of the border.
This is consistent with what I was told by a border patrolman, whom I saw as a patient a couple of weeks ago.
I also understand we have a huge "hole" in the fence, along the "sovereign" Tohono O'odom Reservation, where a nice chunk of the drug/human running occurs, courtesy of the tribal government.
Is there any reason to believe that the Mexican government isn't bought and paid for by drug cartels?
Allowing for that possibility, then having the Mexican military running operations across the border doesn't sound outrageous.
Then check your reading glasses...
The tunnel is across the border from an area that is either owned or leased by Mexican Customs.
Have you been on another planet? Mexican police and military units actively support drug and alien smuggling operations. They provide security, do diversions, and in many cases just plain haul the dope themselves, in uniform, in military vehicles, knowing full well that the USBP has been ordered to run from them and never ever ever challenge them.
"This is occuring in "my backyard" It is a bit unnerving to say the least. "
I know where you can pick up a used German 37mm antitank gun. It's WWII vintage but works great! You have to machine your own shells though.
My great-great and his son were in the 10th Tennessee under Gen. Forrest.

They're escorting drug and human smugglers.
