TUCSON, Ariz. (CBS Las Vegas) — Border Patrol agents in Arizona were reportedly fired upon by a Mexican military helicopter that traveled across the border.
KVOA-TV reports that Mexican authorities were conducting a drug interdiction operation when the incident happened early Thursday morning on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The Mexican chopper fired at the agents and then flew back into Mexico.
Art del Cueto, Border Patrol Tucson Sector union president, tells KVOA that they called and apologized for the incident.
“The incident occurred after midnight and before 6 a.m. Helicopter flew into the U.S. and fired on two U.S. Border Patrol agents,” del Cueto said in a statement to KVOA. “The incident occurred west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The agents were unharmed. The helicopter went back into Mexico. Mexico then contacted U.S. authorities and apologized for the incident.”
Andy Adame, Border Patrol spokesperson, said that Mexican authorities fired two shots at the border agents.
“Two shots were fired from the helicopter but no injuries or damage to U.S. property were reported,” Adame told KVOA

When is our Military going to be sent to the southern border to defend this Nation?

Are border patrol people armed? Even with bean bag "guns"? The Mexicans need to lose a few choppers.

Wow.  This is like a big time no no in most President's books.

Mexico feels quite safe doing this to a country with no leader.

They missed on purpose....so as to distract the agents while coyotes slipped the drugs and 2 bus loads of kids into the US.

Hey, Obama made it happen on purpose.

It probably was a diversionary tactic to let smugglers through.  O'Reilly is right, it's time to put the military on the border. Including anti-aircraft weapons.

We should have boarded up that border after 911.  Still can't understand why we didn't.   :mad:

If there was ever a case for the need for eminent domain, this is it.  A proper, functioning government would buy out all the landholders within 25 miles of our southern border, and convert it to a weapons testing range, for the full gamut of ordnance, from mines and booby traps to nukes and persistent nerve gas.  Nogales and Nuevo Loredo should have to pay annual protection money, to avoid getting irradiated - or worse.

Yeah, I know; the government which currently obtains is considerably less than the above ideal, but hey, a guy can dream, right?  :fuelfire:

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

How many are there?  I thought the official figure was somewhere around 2,500.
