New government video obtained by Fox News shows heavily armed men at the U.S.-Mexico border escorting a migrant mother and son into the United States. Border Patrol officials told Fox News this is an unusual event and express concern that it will become a more regular occurrence – possibly leading to violence.

U.S. Border Patrol surveillance cameras caught the armed smugglers escort the migrant family at 10 p.m. Saturday near the town of Lukeville in the southwest corner of Arizona.

The video shows four to five men in full tactical gear and masks -- carrying long guns and AK-47 assault rifles – escort a Guatemalan woman and her 8-year-old child under a vehicle barrier. The armed escorts turned back across the border. The woman and child turned themselves into border agents, who responded to the incursion.

The area is almost identical to where last week agents apprehended 399 Guatemalan immigrants who arrived in several buses just a 100 yards from the border. The area contains no pedestrian fence...

“Must be one of those 11K ticket holders.”

I’ve asked myself how many Guatemalans or Hondurans can afford 11K transport tickets. I think they take it on credit—promising to work it off in either cash or kind (safe house services, sex, drug drop points, etc). I doubt its all paid up front; there’s an ongoing obligation, which is a Mexican gang tentacle reaching deep into the USA.

I thought we’re supposed to have troops down there. Yet it seems people are still pouring over.

The border is a lost cause and that war is won by the colonizers and open borders cabal. Nobody who has power to stop this have any will to do so. There will be no wall. This alone may make the President a one term President.

WTF? We are arresting armed Americans at the boarder. It’s like American citizens are the ones who are not supposed to be in this country anymore. We are second class to anyone who is not American.

There would only be outrage if those “Migrants” wore MAGA hats as they were crossing the border..Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of them would have already built the wall..but since they will vote Democrat Pelosi will greet them at the border with a voting pamphlet

Seeing this should piss off every American, but the liberals are pleased to see this.

“...a Mexican gang tentacle reaching deep into the USA.” (Those owing their transporters.)

Indeed. Money, information, transporting, whatever is required...

I don’t claim to be a student of history or anything like that (to the contrary I’m pretty awful at it), but like many others I’ve read about how ancient cultures or nations met their downfall throughout the centuries. I’ve often wondered what it was like for the people at the time.

Never did I imagine I would be alive to witness it here, and that it would be so clinical. It’s like a death by a thousand paper cuts, a death that occurs because the host a) doesn’t feel the wounds and b) if it notices doesn’t bother to stanch them.

Perhaps this is what Mexican troops were doing on the US side of the border when they disarmed our soldiers, running interference for the smugglers and human traffickers.

Yeah the Yakuza in Japan smuggle girls and the girls spend the next 15 years paying it off by working in their clubs. Prisoners they are.

This. Precisely. I opened the comment page to post something like it.

Drop the armed guy, and then if Señora, pepito, and pepita don’t scurry south, go pick ‘em up— as gently as possible— and “carry [them] back to ol’ [Chihuahua or wherever]”.

It is time, long past time, to defend our border with lethal force. It’s why we have an Army.

Age and sex do not matter. An illegal border crosser is a foreign invader bent on destruction of our country.

Kill them.
