The U.S. Border Patrol has warned agents in Arizona of incursions into the United States by Mexican soldiers "trained to escape, evade and counterambush" if detected -- a scenario Mexico denied yesterday. The warning to Border Patrol agents in Tucson, Ariz., comes after increased sightings of what authorities described as heavily armed Mexican military units on the U.S. side of the border. The warning asks the agents to report the size, activity, location, time and equipment of any units observed. It also cautions agents to keep "a low profile," to use "cover and concealment" in approaching the Mexican units, to employ "shadows and camouflage" to conceal themselves and to "stay as quiet as possible." Border Patrol spokesman Salvador Zamora confirmed that a "military incursion" warning was given to Tucson agents, but said it was designed to inform them how to react to any sightings of military and foreign police in this country and how to properly document any incursion. Mr. Zamora added that although incursions by the Mexican military do occur, they usually have taken place in areas of the border "not marked by monuments or signs." He said U.S. military units also have crossed mistakenly into Mexico. But Rafael Laveaga, spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, denied that Mexican military personnel are crossing into the United States. "I strongly deny any incursions by the Mexican military as inaccurate allegations," Mr. Laveaga said. "The Mexican military is a well-respected institution with strict rules on how to control Northern Mexico. It maintains a protocol of not going within a mile of the border, and those who would trespass would be severely punished." Mr. Laveaga said some drug smugglers headed "both north and south" wear uniforms and drive military-type vehicles, and might have "confused" U.S. authorities.

This would be absolutely hilarious ....were it to be taking part in some sitcom. I real life however it has to make people think (although, as I've said before, the government doesn't care about illegal immigration. Not the Dems, and not the Repubs either. Actually it is quite funny ....someone should google 'Individual Taxpayer Identification Number,' or simply 'ITIN').
You got it
I'll take one Texas rancher on his own land against a whole platoon of Mex soldiers, and give odds.
We just need to start shooting them when they're on our side of the border, period. We'd be perfectly justified, especially if they are armed.
If a rancher started shooting at the Mexican Military on our side, and someone got killed, I am sure the people in Washington will figure a way to cover it up, they won't want to upset Fox or Mexican's in this country. They probably arrest the rancher and give the farm away.

One jet and one GPS bomb will quickly take care of the problem.
There's your problem.

The A-10 would be just perfect for this situation.

See... This is the kind of junk that results because the business owners wanna hire the illegals. They have put our country at risk! ...Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go consult one of those business regarding another moral issue...
Wth? Why do our border agents have to hide in their own country from invading Mexicans or who knows who?
Others have already posted good ideas for the correct violent response.
president bush says that the mexican troops are just coming here to do jobs Americans refuse to do..............
LOL..... LOL....
+
A joint congressional committe is now being formed to study the problem.......
And the problem is .. . ? When any foreign army invades the U.S. it is the job of the U.S. armed forces to repel that invasion.
Usually the best way to stop an invasion is to take and hold the enemies country. But can we afford to rebuild Mexico?
Probably the best solution is that the next time the Mexican Military sets bare foot on U.S. territory they should be kicked out together with the Toyoda they rode in on.
State Governors have the authority to put Nats on the Border. Why are they NOT doing this?
I think after a few armed clashes between Iraqi Vets and Mexican Troops, SOMEONE would take notice and put regulars along the border along with tanks, artillery, choppers and fast movers.
Our Neighbors aren't acting very neighborly.
Mexico: Making Iran look like our best friend.
