Mexican Soldiers Point Rifles at Border Patrol Agents

This nonsense has got to cease.  Mexicans treat our border, our deserts, our cities and our employers like they are their God given rights.  And now this?  Oh what a terrible time to have the President we have.  Just so very terrible.

An armed confrontation between Mexican soldiers and US Border Patrol agents was threatening to create a full-scale diplomatic incident last night.

The stand-off on the banks of the Rio Grande took place on Monday after a Mexican teenager was shot dead by US officials. The FBI, who have begun an investigation into the shooting, said that Border Patrol agents were chased away from the scene by Mexican officials pointing their rifles at them across the river.

The second fatal shooting in two weeks came after President Obama’s pledge to “secure the border” by sending up to 1,200 additional troops to the frontier. The White House’s attempt to increase security was thought to be part of a long-term plan to win bipartisan support for immigration reform. A sharp rise in violence on the border, however, may leave the President with a revolt from the liberal wing of his party, who claim that the human cost of increased security is too high.

And what of those 1,200 troops Obama sent to the border? What are they doing?
