Mexican Troops Videotaped Escorting Border Crossers
American Patrol website ^ | 29 Jan 2003

Posted on 02/04/2003 1:41:13 PM PST by JackelopeBreeder

For those who doubt the participation of Mexican troops in the smuggling of illegal immigrants and drugs, please pay a visit to http://www.americanpatrol.com and take a look at the lead article. If you have RealPlayer on your computer, you can watch the video.

An American Border Patrol member videotaped a group of 50 to 60 illegals being guided by armed Mexican troops out in the desert just west of Douglas, Arizona. The troops directed them to a point very close to the border fence in a deep wash running north to south. It was about 5:00 pm, starting to get dark, and they were probably waiting for the Border Patrol to change shifts.

The troops stayed south of the border. One wonders if they've gone into business for themselves or were they hired by one of the local cartels?

Mexico guards their southern border like Ft. Knox. Then they tell us we should open ours. Yeah, that's par for the course.

This is an act of war. Mexico needs to be neutralized ASAP.

I'll second that it doesn't get any media attention either.
I'm going to e-mail the link to Rush and O'Reilly anyway.

American Patrol used to be on the radio here in NY. I am not surprised at this. Weren't Mexican soldiers caught five miles inside the US border, shooting at people?

Two countries I will never visit again as a tourist are Mexico and France. I refuse to line the pockets of my enemy. I won't visit Mainland China either.

Border Patrol agents in a BP SUV in the Organ Pipe National Monument were fired upon by 'unidentified' persons driving a HumVee. The incident occurred well within the US.

To my knowledge, it has never been ascertained who the shooters were.

MI, can you say?

They are just doing their (and our) Commander in Chief's bidding.

What gets even less press coverage are the thousands of Guatemalans who are murdered making their way north by the Mexican troops each year.

Right, President Fox can't have those Central Americans competing for jobs that rightfully belong to his compatriots.

In my small and I mean 3K small, E. Texas town, at least a dozen illegals gather at the corner of our brand spanking new city library.
This is removed by exactly one city block from our city police force.
You go by, hire one for $6 per hour plus lunche, and you got your day labor.
If the local police allow this to happen under their noses, what is the answer?

To be perfectly honest, from looking at the video, no one can say that was the Mexican Military.

The video is poor quality, and all you can see is three men dressed in dark clothes with what may be rifles.

Maybe the guy taking the video could see more, but the video is not proof of the Mexican Military escorting aliens.

For all we know, they, if they were military, may have been robbing the aliens.

Yes, Mexican troops have been reported inside the US, shooting at Customs officers and INS officers (BP).

All incidents have been swept under the table.

A very distinct possibility considering some stories I've heard locally and what I at first thought was odd behavior.

We get a lot of legitimate Mexican shoppers here in Sierra Vista. Very frequently I've seen them in the parking lots unwrapping all purchases. I had to ask -- seems they do not want to cross the border with anything looking too new. The "tax" would be too high or it would be taken outright by anyone in any uniform.

That happened allot, down in Lukeville.

The good news is that we don't have to guard it to solve the problem. All we have to do in increase the penalties for the criminals involved (including the Mexican government).

The penalty should be death. Every American citizen should be given the legal right to be judge and executioner when they come across illegals trying to cross our border. This "game" is getting too dangerous. This is nothing short of a passive invasion.

You got that right. Someone be sure to wake the American people up, before we have a big change.

Pay an honest wage, expect honest work.

Pay for the work of a slave, expect the slave to hate the work,and the employer

That Tyson is still in business, leads me to believe the horror of the USA importing slave labor will not stop anytime soon.

Capitolism can not survive, when the customer, the employer, and the employee all agree to ignore the rules of law, and the fair and honest exchange of labor for wages.

None who tolerate the importation of illegal slave labor should expect the Enrons of the world to operate more ethically than the individual stockholders, who are happy to enjoy unethical and illegal short term personal gains, at the expense of those who attempt to operate honestly and fairly.

Shortsighted individual greed is paying money hand over fist to turn the USA into a third world country.

I knew a woman once, who actually bragged and exhibited immense pride that she was smart enough to "save" $150.00 on a digital camera, purchased for cash from a strange mans car trunk.She never understood why I howled with laughter when she later moaned about her house being burglarised, and the camera, among other items were stolen.......
