Notice how the Russian paper cuts Perry’s quote off?

Full quote: ““It may require our military in Mexico working in concert with them to kill these drug cartels and keep them off of our borders,”

The US Government ofthen sent US Army patrols into Mexico during the Apache wars, and who can forget Ranald Mackenzie.

“Mackenzie was assigned to Fort Clark to put an end to the plunder of Texas livestock by Indian raiders from Mexico. On May 18, in an extralegal raid, he burned a Kickapoo village near Remolino, Coahuila , and returned with forty captives. That and effective border patrols stopped the raiding.

In late 1877 Indians from Mexico were again raiding in South Texas, and by March 1878 Mackenzie was again at Fort Clark. He began patrols and in June led an expedition into Mexico. His incursion prompted the Mexican government to act, and by October the raiding had ceased.
