#2 but..but..the ownership and possession of weapons in Mexico, like many US cities, is highly regulated and automatic weapons are illegal. Must be mistaken, otherwise these shots would be coming from the military or police or criminals....but I repeat myself....

#3 We are on the brink of a World War and this crap is still allowed to go on.

Patrol the damned border.
Return fire if fired upon.
Shoot to kill.
If prisoners are taken, prosecute to the full extent of the law and sentence them to work building a wall/barricade/tank trap/moat along the border.

It's long past time for some SOF/NGuard training in the desert terrain/climate there anyways...

#4 Don't forget Poncho Villa. It's what Mexicans, as paleostinians, like to do.

#5 Sounds like it's time for that Sheriff to set up some concealed sniper blinds with overlapping fields of fire. Then put in some offset speakers with radio receivers in the lanes where smugglers pass.

You order them to halt, and if the dumbasses respond with a spray of weapons fire, your deputies put a round right through their belt buckle.

#7 Blow them away. Why the fuck are we still dicking around with this!?!?

Wait, I know the answer and it is depressing.

#9 Time to call in the Mexican ambassador and ask him whether he intends to control his border or give up his sovereignty. U.S. helicopter gunships ought to be blasting these vermin all the way to Mexico City if necessary.

#10 What's with "bandits"? I thought "militants" was the PC term for vermin that need eradicating.

#11 We dick around with this because our pathetic politicians have not yet realized that the American people do intend to take back control of America from the corrupt democrats and their lapping dogs in the MSM.
Keep up the fight. Keep spreading the word.

#13 At least three deputies and four Border Patrol agents took the two brothers back to the riverbank to see if they might find any evidence or the shooters. Instead, shooters from Mexico fired automatic weapons at the group. The barrage went on for almost 10 minutes, alternating between shots coming from Mexico and the east.

They wanted evidence, and they got evidence. Yea, more than they desired...

#14 Welcome back, N Guard, thanks for your service, and still looking for a way to make my thanks to you and your comrades more tangible in some significant way.

#15 AC-130 gunship or helicopter gunship along the border might take care of this problem nicely. This problem needs to be "nipped in the bud."

#16 Treviño says that his deputies have never been shot at from the Mexican side of the river. "This is one of the reasons that I do not allow my deputies to patrol the riverbanks or levies close to the river," Treviño said, "because we do know there are drug gangs and human trafficking gangs that will not hesitate to shoot in our direction to get us out of the area"

WTF?! Let's hit these guys and hit them hard.

also how come we don't hear about this in the MSM news huh?! Wake up America, time to stop hitting the snooze button

Unf*ckingbelievable. I hate it when the morning news is so crappy, I'm going to go on a long horse ride now.

#17 Yep, it's sad and what's even more pathetic is that if an American rancher shoots some wetback coming on to his land it will be all over the msm.

#19 Re #13: this sentence reads very close to a RAB crossfire episode, except they haven't yet found the round of bullet or the shuttergun, or encountered wildly aimed fire from unknown accomplices. Perhaps this is just the 'Pre-RAB Primer' books on tape series being validated.....

#20 Unfortunately, locals in the southwest know that this has been ongoing for 20 years. But it is escalating. The drug cartels have complete control in Mexico. They try to buy off the law. This works for 90% of local and federal agents in Mexico. The last 10% is murdered. They are getting much braver about incursions...fully armed incursions..into US territory. Why not, no one stops them. This area abutting Hidalgo County is one of the main paths. It is far beyond what a local sheriff or cadre of volunteer Minutemen can handle. The governor of Texas should activate his National Guard. This is precisely what a "national guard" was organized for. Bring them out, fully armed . Use 50 cal. on these scumbags. Kill 20, 30 whatever. Don't say shit to Mexico. They'll be yelling their heads off. US State Dept. then gets Fox on the phone and says FU. Either stop this overnight or we pursue into Mexican territory at will as required. We will execute anyone firing on US citizens.

#21 The situation is nonsensical, so it calls for a nonsensical solution. Create flyers for a non-existent vigilante organization that threaten to kill "Any Mexican national carrying an automatic weapon across the border", over a several hundred mile stretch of border.

Of course the US authorities will freak out, but there is as much nothing they could do to stop such killing as there is to stop such Mexicans in the first place.

That is the only solution to stop one is to stop the other.

Subsequent flyers could have faked b&w photos showing "dead armed Mexicans" and their machine guns and maybe some packages of "drugs". This would really freak out the government.

They would have so many people out looking for the vigilantes that they would get into firefights with the Mexicans.

The fun things you can do with Google image, a word processor and a xerox machine.

#22 Not a bad COA 'moose, but I'll do you one better. How about any "illegal" caught coming across the border will be shot on sight. Afterall it is an invasion.

Not only that, but the illegal alien or his family will sue and become the new owners of the ranch. As a bonus, they will also receive permanent residency documents in the process.
