Smugglers catapult pot over border fence

In a brazen attempt reminiscent of a medieval siege, Mexican smugglers tried to use a hefty catapult to hurl drugs north over the U.S. Border, authorities said on Wednesday.

The Mexican military seized 45 pounds of marijuana, a sports utility vehicle and a metal-framed catapult just south of the Arizona border near the small town of Naco last Friday, following a tip-off from the U.S. Border Patrol.

Surveillance video taken by National Guard troops deployed to support the Border Patrol caught a group of men apparently attempting to pull down a metal beam and load or test the catapult, which was powered by powerful elastic and mounted on a trailer close to the metal border fence.

I heard about that on the radio this morning.  They never did say, or I never did hear where the border was.  I assumed AZ.  I guess I assumed right.

I believe we have a cave member in in Sierra Vista.  That is awfully close.  Unlike most of the Tex-Mex border, AZ and Mex are right on top of each other.  I was watching a show on Nogales a few weeks ago, man, that stuff is tight!

I say we move the catapult to our side of the border and use it as the preferred method for deporting illegals back across the border.

Works for me, I like the way you think!

That would be awesome. They have a catapult in Mexico and we have a catapult on our side.
They catapult the drugs over, we confiscate them. Then, we load up an illegal and,....fire away. :-)
