President Trump on Wednesday warned Mexico after their soldiers reportedly drew guns on U.S. troops at the border last week, while also calling on America's southern neighbor to do more to halt another north-bound migrant caravan.
“Mexico’s Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!” he tweeted.
The president’s tweets come after several Mexican military personnel reportedly questioned U.S Army soldiers who were on patrol duty near the border in Texas. Mexican soldiers reportedly pointed their weapons at U.S. troops during the encounter. The Mexican soldiers reportedly believed that the U.S. Army soldiers were on Mexican territory.

IIRC, incidents like this started happening the last time militia were on the border. If so, the Mexicans staged this event.
I’m sure our Military sniper teams have itchy trigger fingers, requiring some anti-itchy exercise. Some rifle mufflers and starlight devices can get the point across rather effectively. The forthcoming fear of seeing their comrades drop right beside them, with only a subtle unlocatable pop, will put the fear of God back into their soulless bodies.
A forty-foot wall should clarify where the border is. But it’s immoral, Nancy said so. So forget it./s
Looks like we both misunderstood the other ... apologies for any angst.
Don't you just get sick and tired of playing the part of the sap..? All the drugs coming from all parts of the world being pushed into our nation by mexico.. All the money lost due to health and crime problems caused by those drugs.. It has become BEYOUND obvious that we are under full attack by our enemy's.. And STILL the democrats won't help us save our country.. We can only assume that the democratic party in washington is working with our enemy's.. There is no other answer.......
I knew the rats are sponsoring this with cash and freebies.. i am more mad at do nothing conservatives.
Good one!
Why a warning by Trump? What Mexico did is a blatant act of war and they knew it when it happened. Retaliate x10 immediately.
“You do understand that the Drug Cartel’s are a wholly owned subsidiary of the CIA and the DEA right??”
I never forgot a blood chilling (to me) FR post in around 2001 saying that GWB was/is intimately connected to Mexican cartels. And considering that Bush 41 was CIA, I guess it could be true.
facile suggestion. cartels don’t have known marked bases
like JBLM or NBK here or Ft Hood in TX.
They always take arms, just not necessarily loaded. That was policy even before Kent State.
Remember Ramos and Compean.
A sea level canal topped with a bullet train would sell to all the loonie left and as a bonus it would castrate the Chinese controlled Panama canal.
several versions of this old quote but…..
Inform him that any further statements from me will be issued from the mouths of my cannons.
Armed Mexican soldiers confronted US soldiers on US soil
I want a few of those.
They have compounds and big homes their bosses work out of. They also work out in the field openly.
So it’s a plausible response to obliterate the visible threats of the narco-terrorists.
