Mexican military incursion into Texas?

KRGV TV in the Rio Grande Valley is looking into a video captured near one of the border checkpoints on late December 2010. The video shows a military style truck packed with armed men crossing from Mexico into Texas.

We counted at least a dozen armed men in the back of the truck. The vehicle travels down the bridge toward the U.S. Customs checkpoint. Its driver makes a U-turn just before reaching the lines of cars there. It then starts back south toward Mexico. The men pull over and search a vehicle for a few minutes then resume their trek south. The presumed soldiers then cross back over the boundary toward Mexico.

Here is the actual video, which shows the men conduct a search of a civilian vehicle at a rest stop inside the United States. Mexican authorities so far deny that the incident happened at all.

Hat tip to Naomi.

How long before owners of station KRGV face FCC license renewal challenges for their “insensitivity” to our neighbors to the south?. I’m betting the station will be picketed by “immigration activists” (translation: apologists for illegals).

Apparently they’ve forgotten San Jacinto.

The Texans haven’t. Or Goliad or the Alamo.

Iraq is not where the U.S. Marines need to be. 163 years away may be too long.
