Standoff At The Southern Border II

MJ's already covered this here.

Allow me to add my .02.

Let's recap--

The border incident occurred Thursday evening when Border Patrol agents attempted to pull over a dump truck on Interstate 10 in Hudspeth County, Texas. The driver fled from the agents, exiting the freeway and driving toward the Rio Grande which runs within 2 miles of the interstate in this portion of West Texas.

Officers "started to retrieve the bundles when the armed subjects appeared," said Agent Ramiro Cordero, Border Patrol spokesman.

According to Hudspeth County Chief Deputy Mike Doyal, the dump truck driver returned with armed men, some of whom drove "official looking vehicles with overhead lights." Some of those armed, Doyal told the El Paso Times, appeared to be Mexican soldiers in uniform with military weapons.

"It's a very serious incident," Doyal said. "We are very fortunate ... no one got hurt. Everyone had the presence of mind not to cause an international incident, or start shooting."

Hokay, perhaps what's needed here is an international incident. Maybe it's time to stop making excuses for the corrupt regime down South.

The brave men and women of the border patrol are tasked with apprehending illegal border crossers, not facing down the Mexican Army. This is going to end in a bloodbath.

I think what we're looking at here is the exact type of incident that makes me believe that a military presence is indicated on our Southern border. The argument against seems to hinge on the idea that our military shouldn't operate against our own citizens, but that's the beauty here. They would be facing South, facing the true enemy.
