Cuellar Reacts: Mexican Soldiers Cross the Border

By KGNS News

Well it was a story you saw earlier this week here on 8.
A convoy of three military trucks loaded with Mexican soldiers crossed the border at Bridge #2.
Customs and Border Protection said Mexican authorities claimed the soldiers had just been deployed to Nuevo Laredo and became lost.
Today we spoke to Congressman Henry Cuellar about the situation who says while he respects our counterparts across the border they must provide a better reason for the crossing, but he continues to support the troops being in Mexico.

Everyone forgot about an incident where a police officer crossed the border in pursuit of a criminal. What did Mexico do to their "counterpart". I tell you, they seized the patrol vehicle, disarmed the officer, and held him overnight. When he was released... they kept the issued sidearm and patrol vehicle. Oh... yeah. Those soldiers should have been disarmed and the vehicles sized.

Laredo has already been invaded by people from Mexico who we support with food stamps, free education, free health care. We need to send them back and start taking care of our own people who actually work to support these free loaders.

This is not about who was or was not on foodstamps nor sending those "Mexicans" back to their country. It is about the Mexican soliders crossing into the US border. These soliders are called in to control the cartel activity in Nuevo Ldo,Mx. Cartel activity of selling,transporting drugs & control of territory. US has the largest number of drugs user in the Americas. IF WE STOPPED USING DRUGS-THEN THEIR WOULD BE NO NEED TO SALE,TRANSPORT AND CONTROL. DEMAND/SUPPLY IS THE ROOT OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS.

right-o..on the money. The U.S. as drug consumers and then gun running back weapons to Mexico looks just plain ugly. The U.S. should do more than complain and whine about the human problem and do something about the REAL problem that we don't want to acknowledge.
