Yep; POTUS won't do a dayammmmmed thing about it; we all know that. The Border Patrol should start carrying GTA missiles and USE THEM...
With Obummer in charge, and his open border policy, and the way he is treating a US Marine in a Mexican jail ... I'd bet my house they get away with it.

Nope; no war. If they "invade" our airspace (like they have done MANY times before, just "whack" one of them when they do it again, and I gayronteee that'll be the LAST TIME they do it) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be right.
NO ONE has ever pointed a gun and pulled a trigger by mistake.
Thanks for straightening me out on your absolute knowledge of the situation.
Graybeal you got one of those placards that is shaped like an A frame that you wear while announcing that the sky is falling?
BTW the boarder has more security on it than at any time in our history.
But, you being an ignorant man would never know that.

They say ignorance is bliss, I am pretty happy.
At least I am smart enough to know that people who read English read from top to bottom, and write my responses below what I am responding too.

Yea right...and we should relocate all the NIKE missiles at our borders with Mexico and Canada too. Are you people in Texas crazy or what? Or just call those gun toting guys out from Walmart and restaurants.

According to the morning paper, this mistake has happened 23 times since 2010. Not all the incursions include shooting, but there were other incidents of Mexicans on American soil and shooting at, not only BP, but civilians.
Old saying :
Once is an accident
Twice is a coincident
Three times and they are out to get ya!
Where does 23 times fit in?
