#2 I'm sure they were just drug dealers, surely not the Mexican armed forces. It really matters. Heh.

Well gosh, I guess Gov Perry should find some forces laying around to augment the LE guys at the hot spots along the border... the extremely heavily-armed variety - and they lay back a bit so they're not apparent. I prefer Snakes with miniguns, and mebbe some Tow-equipped Humvees, myself. Then they whack a dozen or two of these border-crossers and then, as the corpses cool, determine the identity.

If they turn out to be Official Mexican Armed Forces, then ~~erase the Mexican border state's capitol~~ file a protest. If just druggies, then ~~erase the Mexican Federales post responsible for that section of the border~~ file a protest.

Oh, and return the bodies - ~~airdrop 'em on the Plaza in Mexico City~~ for proper burial.

#4 Since the Mexican government has stated clearly that their military isn't involved, surely they won't mind if we kill the imposters.
