A convoy of three military trucks loaded with Mexican soldiers crosses the border at Bridge Number Two clearly violating international law.
It happens as Customs and Border Protection inspectors try to figure out what to do.
A CBP spokesperson says they got on the phone with Mexican authorities after being alerted that the military trucks were heading their direction loaded down with soldiers and weapons.
Mexican leaders say the soldiers, who had just been deployed to Nuevo Laredo, didn't know the area, got lost and then made their way through Bridge Two.
It's important to note that CBP did not tell us about the potentially serious situation. It came from another law enforcement agency.
Some callers to our newsroom were upset inspectors allowed the Mexican military to get so close to all those inspection booths over at Bridge Number Two.
Some noted had it been Mexican drug lords they could have taken inspectors by surprise and easily crossed the international border deeper into the United States.
OK, so we have
1) US Border Patrol agents given a heads up and they are too dumb to
a) call the home office for some right the hell now advice
b) be ready for the trucks
c) tell the drivers over to an inspection area, shut off the engines, and have
everyone stay in the trucks.
and
2) Mexican Military drivers who are
a) too dumb to see that they are approaching the international border and radio
for instructions and/or directions
b) pull over to the side of the road before getting to the border and figure out
where they are and how to get where they need to be.
and
3) The main stream media sitting on this story. According to the Washington Times "
Since 1996, there have been more than 200 confirmed incursions by the Mexican military into the United States."
Hmmmm....1+2+3=2?
Something just isn't adding up here.
If the US military had done something like that the Mexican govt. would be crying foul at the UN and in every other venue it could think of.
