mexican army shoots at texas hunters

[.270]

i saw an article this morning that said that mexican army folks crossed the border at el paso and fired automatic weapons at some texas hunters. i couldn't make my computer copy the link. didn't say, but it sounded like dove hunters. anyway, the mexicans shot at the hunters with machine guns and ran em off and then stoled their chairs and went back. it ain't long before there is a full scale shoot out on our side of the border between either mexican cops, soldiers or dope runners and when it happens i hope the Americans are real good shots. this kinda stuff really pisses me off. where the h e l l is our gov't? ridiculous.

Can't be. Most of them are over here.

If a shoot out were to happen between american sportsman and lets say some drug runners... you know dang well that the government would feed the sportsman sharks. That was what they attempted to do with the fast and furious thing, make it look like the evil gun store owners were fueling the drug wars in Mexico.

EL PASO - A scary day for some local Dove hunters on the U.S. / Mexico border. We're told Mexican Federal Agents crossed into U.S. territory and aimed their automatic weapons directly at them.

Border Patrol agents were on the move at the Zaragoza Bridge. It's dove hunting season, which means the crossing in the Ysleta District is usually pretty busy.

 

"This morning they just didn't open the gate for us, and it's usually open pretty early," Jacob Cope said.

 

Cope has been trying to hunt all day, but he hasn't been allowed through the gates. That may be because this morning another group of hunters came face-to-face with Mexican men carrying powerful guns.

 

"Right now, I went and they said there was an incursion on the Mexican side coming over here, some Mexican soldiers," Cope said.

 

The Border Patrol confirmed that Mexican Federal Agents crossed into the U.S. without permission. Word spread through the hunting community that those Federal Agents shot at a group of hunters and then stole some hunting equipment. Border Patrol says those allegations were not part of their initial investigation, and so far there's nothing to prove that actually happened. Tonight Border Patrol, the State Parks and Wildlife, and the Mexican Government are all investigating what happened. It appears that investigation means a closed border for frustrated hunters who say they've never experienced this before.

 

"I've done this since I was probably 12-years-old, and it's never been an issue. I mean they drive back-and-forth on their side all the time. You'll see guys up there with M-16's," Cope said. "I wish they'd open the gates for us. We've done this for years, and there's no reason they should shut gates on us."

 

Tonight there are no reports of any injuries because of what happened.

 

Border Patrol would not release any more information to us.

 

Of course, we'll continue to follow this story.

I wonder if Texas has the same signs along there border areas telling US citizens to be careful because armed outlaws from other countries have invaded us.

These "incursions" have been going on for some time now, and they will continue with the weak policies of the current (and some prior) Executive Branch(s). It won't change until we get a hardline "Borders" policy in place. And you are right ... if the hunters had been deer hunters with long range rifles and had fired back and killed a couple of those "Mexican Federal Agents", they'd be the ones on the hot seat. That's how screwed up our media and politics are. Can't tell you how many times I've heard some extreme Liberal say "they were here first" when referring to the problem of illegal immigration. I feel like sayin' "Well Bozo ... why don't we just start givin' everything back ... starting with your house."

 

I swear ... I guess it's true what they say ... "YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID".
