SOUTH OF MISSION - Federal authorities are investigating an incident in which Border Patrol agents were forced to shoot into Mexico.

Heavily-armed agents swarmed Chimney Park RV Resort south of Mission this morning. We're told individuals in Mexico were throwing objects at agents patrolling the Rio Grande by boat.

The agents say they were forced to open fire to scare off the people. No injuries were reported.

Just wait and see what happens when the remittances stop coming, then they will come up here looking for their money and won’t care where they get it.

“Border Patrol Agents Shoot into Mexico”

Shoot into the air, of course...so as not to injure anyone, lest they spend time in the slammer themselves...

“We do not fire warning shots,” Agent Joe Treviño said. “We shoot because we fear for our safety and we’re trying to remove the threat.”

I’m truly shocked that there are still people that actually join the “Border Patrol”. It’s an insane set of rules that they have to live by!

God bless south Texas. I remember a time when a trip across the Laredo bridge meant an afternoon of carefree shopping and a good meal at the Cadillac Bar. I was just 16 the first time I made the treck.

I really miss La Mansion in Reynosa....I wish peace would return. Pray God it will.
