Mexican Invasion

Once again, the Washington Times reports on the unnerving habit that members of the Mexican military apparently have of crossing the border into the United States and pointing their weapons at U.S. Border Patrol agents.

Since 1996, there have been more than 200 confirmed incidents in which Mexican military members entered the United States. The Mexican Embassy chalks them up to misunderstandings, saying that's the kind of thing that happens when both sides are trying to patrol the border. Mexican officials also have said in the past that they think outlaws may be wearing Mexican uniforms to throw off U.S. authorities.
