Their Top is either reaming them a new one, or doing the same to the LT.
Punitive expedition needed. Push everyone in Mexico back from the border at least 10 miles. Shoot to kill all who stay.
For what it’s worth, I did a google map view of the border area of Clint, Texas where the story says this happened. I don’t know how authoritative Google Maps is, but it shows places where the actual border does not run down the middle of the Rio Grande, but some yards north of the river. This could be due to the fact that rivers do sometimes change their courses over the years and it has been agreed that the border will not change when this happens. Or it could be that Google maps is wrong. But it may not be as clear cut as we might think.
That is technically an act of war.
Regardless of their motivation, the Mexicans were wrong. Regardless of the numbers, the Americans were wrong to surrender. American soldiers should not hand over their weapons - they should if necessary hold the enemy off and call in an airstrike on any direct threat (okay, any threat other than Hillary, Pelosi, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, etc.).
Two whole cavalry companies? I think that the headline writer meant troopers, rather than troops.
Time to pull the army out and send in the Marines.
Meanwhile we've got the FBI trying to disarm civilians in the area and prevent them from stopping illegal entrants.
Time for Trump to get serious about border security.
They already have, look at California!
Kinda reminds you of the Chinese Empire in its decadent period, when the Chinese couldn’t even prevent the British from selling opium to their population or nations as small as Portugal from ripping off chunks of Chinese territory and establishing their own law there.

There are two or three locations on the Rio Grande where this is an issue.
Clint Texas is NOT one of them.
If Mexican troops are on the north side of the border with weapons, they should be challenged and ordered back across the river.
That area is VERY well defined as to the river, the adjacent strips of land on both sides of the river between the two levees which in that area are about 100 to 150 yards apart.
In that area there could not have been a "mistake" as to the boundary.
I would suggest parking 2 - 3 Humvee with .50 BMG with thermal sights in that general area to insure there are no more "mistakes."
.
Um, that’s casus belli - an act of war.
Search much?

I hope the President sees this on the news.
But it won’t.
FYI: Texas was INVADED by the Mexican Army at 2:00 PM last Saturday, April 13, 2019. The Mexican Army forced the FIRST SURRENDER of American troops to a foreign power on American soil since the War of 1812. Make NO mistake - the Mexican troops KNEW EXACTLY where they were. They all have GPS. The border is not the wall, but the center of the Rio Grande river. The question is what drug mules they were “protecting” as they entered the US. Mexican Army troops have been found before as many as 9 or 10 miles into the US. This needs to STOP. American soldiers need LOADED RIFLES, and vehicle mounted machine guns, not UNLOADED HANDGUNS. And they need to be in MARKED ARMY VEHICLES, not unmarked civilian cars, or Border Patrol vehicles. I would venture to suggest we we need a few Abrams tanks down there for their psychological deterrent value.
