MISSION — Drug smugglers opened fire on U.S. law enforcement officers Sunday morning near the Anzalduas International Bridge after Mission police intercepted a 500-pound load of marijuana, police Chief Leo Longoria said.
U.S. law enforcement officers shot back, Longoria said, and no injuries were reported. Details remained hazy Sunday afternoon, and Longoria couldn’t give further information about the brief shootout.
Sunday’s incident began at 9:55 a.m. when a Mission police cruiser attempted to stop a red Chevrolet pickup on Military Road. Instead of pulling over, the pickup fled and a passenger began throwing bundles of marijuana at the police cruiser. As the pickup fled, a green Chevrolet Avalanche with a young woman behind the wheel began harassing officers, Longoria said.
Meanwhile, the two men inside the red pickup drove straight into the Rio Grande, directly underneath the Anzalduas bridge. People armed with rifles waited on the Mexican side of the river, providing cover as the pickup’s occupants escaped into Mexico.
“During that moment, individuals of the criminal element were displaying long rifles and rounds were fired towards the American side,†Longoria said.

But we have been told that border security is a federal government responsibility. Even the courts have said so. :tongue:

The Rio Grande Valley is Democrat, nearly 100% Hispanic, and one of the poorest regions in the US. In the 2010 mid-term elections, analysts claim the RGV was slowly shifting to the right; but in the larger cities Democrats gained huge increases.
