The Mexican military is helping smugglers across the border

WTF?! Daily Bulletin - Mexican soldiers and civilian smugglers had an armed standoff with nearly 30 U.S. law enforcement officials on the Rio Grande in Texas Monday afternoon, according to Texas police and the FBI. Mexican military Humvees were towing what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the United States, said Chief Deputy Mike Doyal, of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department. Mexican Army troops had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards inside the U.S. border -- near Neely's Crossing, about 50 miles east of El Paso -- when Border Patrol agents called for backup. Hudspeth County deputies and Texas Highway patrol officers arrived shortly afterward, Doyal said. We all heard the story last week of Mexican military crossing the border into the US which HSA Chertoff dismissed as them possibly getting lost since in the middle of the desert no one knows exactly where the border is anyway. I rolled my eyes... whatever. But this is outrageous! Mexican troops and smugglers in a shootout with US law enforcement. Mexican troops fighting with smugglers?! Helping them bring drugs into the US?! That's it! Shut down the damn border NOW! We need to see some serious action from the Bush administration on this quickly. UPDATE: As usual, Michelle Malkin seems to beat the rest of the world to the story.
