Is it just me or are things beginning to get out of hand on the border?

Seems to be in the news much more AND the comments following point to some interesting things..............

I dont see how it can be an "innocent incursion". Either you crossed the Rio Grande or you didnt.

According to Border Patrol agents (off the record, of course), this kind of crap has been going on for years. The US government, and of course the Mexican government, tend to sweep it under the rug.

Ya might want to read the article there Rich since it happened in Arizona. There is NO Rio Grande on the border of Mexico and Arizona. The Rio Grande ONLY exists as a border demarcation point from El Paso to Boca Chica Texas. It does not define the international border in CA., AZ. or even NM., all of which are on the Mexico border.

     You'd think GPS would work in those states and Mexico...hmmm.

 And neither candidate is going to do anything about it.

Disgusting. Also learned this week; There are 50 Mexican nationals on death row. Hey I know lets wait till the border really becomes a problem!

Wouldn't that be 49 now that Texas just put one down?

It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States
