DONNA — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers were processing 33 Mexican soldiers late Tuesday afternoon after the troops inadvertently crossed onto the U.S. side of the Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge.

Details of the incident remain unclear, but CBP spokesman Felix Garza said his agency was processing the soldiers for return to Mexico after they found themselves in U.S. territory with four Mexican Humvees.

We were going to park and walk across into mexico but
before we knew it bang we were over the border no problem.
Now coming back we were searched minutely.

Mexican Humvee...... tiny silver chain steering wheel, low rider with hydraulics, milspec jumper cables, 6,000 watt speakers, $2,000 rims with bald tires.

No wonder they were able to cross the border without anyone noticing.

-——just a Kinetic Military Action-——

A kinetic action involves live fire. No live fire, passive action

"Gee, Julio I think we might have took a wrong turn"

This is not one of those rural unmanned border checkpoints in Canada where you stop at the booth and pick up a phone to report yourself as entering their country. lol.

Maybe it was a trial dry run to take over California.

That was juarez thirty years ago....there was literally
no place to turn off once you approached the border.
Coming back we had to turn out everything in the truck,
while guys with mirrors checked underneath.
I was rather straight looking but my friends, well,
Michael had a red afro about the size of a small bush,
and Rowe was a folkie singer who dressed all in black.
Ah the good old days.

"Processing?" That isn't what I'd do with armed alien invaders. But then, unlike the Usurper regime in Washington, I believe in national sovereignty.

They should wait until, well if, Kalpornia ever gets its economy straight

Easy there Buzzard. Not every trip across a border is an invasion. I have a friend who was on board a California National Guard helicopter that took off from San Diego, took an incorrect bearing in clouds, then had an "Oh, (expletive deleted)" moment, when the clouds cleared, and they saw that the road down below them wasn't IH-5.

Nobody was court martialed, but doing something that causes your state Adjutant General to have to apologize to the Pentagon, because the Pentagon had to apologize the the State Department, because the State Department had to apologize to Mexico, is not calculated to enhance your prospects of promotion.

Not to be outdone, a crack team of Mexican SEALS also crossed over the Rio Grande ... where one of them was captured and placed on display

Oh sure, they cross into Texas as a dry run to take over California.

Brilliant!

With 1000 anchor babies being pumped out at Dallas Parkland Hospital each month, it’s only a matter of time until they turn the Alamo into a medical clinic for pregnant illegal aliens.

Maybe they all were going to defect and claim political asylum.

Were the serial numbers on their guns checked?

Were the Vee’s confiscated for entering illegally?

Did they have time to enroll in a college of their choice?
