Mexico Accidentally Invades U.S., Largest Incursion Since Japanese Invasion

Mexico Border Crossing

Mexico on Tuesday accidentally invaded the United States when four Humvees carrying 33 Mexican soldiers strayed into US territory, crossing the boundary line on a bridge across the Rio Grande, then continuing as far as the inspection area.

According to reports, it’s the largest “invasion” since the Japanese invasion of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.

Obviously Mexico wasn’t attempting to actually invade the United States, however it does show how easily crossing the border into U.S. can be accomplished.

According to a Customs and Border Protection rep speaking with Reuters:

“They were processed according to protocols, and they were released and returned to Mexico without incident or charges.”

According to Mexican officials, their soldiers were carrying out reconnaissance on the border when they accidentally crossed into United States territory, it apparently happens on a regular basis and after processing the troops no charges are given and the soldiers return home.

Perhaps it’s time for the Mexican army to invest in some Smartphones with Google Maps or maybe even ask Garmin to create a border map for those in-between areas.

I have this funny image in my head of some racist border patrol volunteer sitting by a border fence with his shotgun in hand when 33 Mexican soldiers come rolling up in four humvees.

    How is it racist a border patrol agent with a shotgun is protecting his country?

    I wasn't making a comment about all border patrol agents, more poking fun at the guy who just really hates Mexican's then he's seeing them coming towards the fence in humvees with machine guns. :)

    I was making a joke too. Mexicans think Americans are racist because we protect our border and because we speak English, yet they are the ones that wanna come here cause they hate their country and us… Just saying.

    Yeah, it is a catch-22 when comparing those apples to oranges. I'm actually for allowing more immigrants into the country to help our economy, but I respect people who do it legally more, at least that way we collect taxes on their wages.

    I do not respect anyone who does it illegally. You want to come here, you go through the process we have like every other country in the world has. If you dont like it, dont blame us for it, blame yourself for not meeting those requirements. After all there are countries who dont let ANY immigrant in, and have a zero tolerance policy for those who come illegally. Illegal people are not citizens, nor should they be granted the same rights and protections as such either. You wanna do it legally, expect to pay taxes, and show your money (aka our economy) is not being send "home" to foreign country either.

    Im very anti-immigration at this point, but I didnt always used to be. I respect people wanting a better life, but a better life for yourself does not include making it harder for those around you giving you the better life.

    The irony in all this, is that I have a significant other who is Colombian who doesnt come to the USA due to the insane amount we charge people to come here legally which is required for every one except the single country to the south. I guess if my partner was Mexican, it might be different. So yeah, we need to fix and profile who is abusing the system and who may really need to use the system.
