On March 9, 1916, Columbus was attacked by Mexican irregulars under Pancho Villa’s command—which, as far as I know, was the last attack by enemy ground troops on the continental United States.
In 2002, I visited the tiny county library in Columbus, which was still using a card catalog.
In 1953 I visited Columbus and spent a couple of weeks staying with my Grandparents who lived in the Section Foreman’s house on the Southern Pacific. In the evenings my granddad and I would sit on the front porch and smoke our pipes...his filled with tobacco and mine with coffee grounds. They retired to Deming and when passed left me enough money to go to college.
How the heck is that related to all the corruption and smuggling?
Mexican troops attacked America in 2003.

The Mexican military does as it pleases here. Our government does nothing to stop them.
