Sounds like an iffy story, actually. What would be the logic of "Mexican military incursions?" There's nothing to be gained from them.

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.

I don't deny it. But that is not the same as saying that it's the policy of the Mexican government. It's a not-so-subtle distinction.

I urge EVERYONE to read the above statement and understand what it means.

This order to stand back has to come directly from Washington/The White House.

To simply say that this is alarming is a grave understatement.
