If the Rio Grande is the border and the soldiers were caught NORTH of the river how were they in Mexican territory?
It is simple..................................the border fence cuts across loops of the river...........................................
and the border fence is actually built some distance NORTH of the border.....................................
so that support posts can go into solid ground and not be washed out by river erosion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thus THERE IS Yankee land SOUTH of the border fence.............................
sandwiched between the fence and the actual river bank border!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As usual the Mexicans were being PISSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are all smiles and pals when Yankees have jobs to invest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But they are something else when it comes to THEIR SOVEREIGNTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a Yankee rail line that runs very close to part of the border in New Mexico................................
and there is a LONG steep grade where freight trains slow right down..................................
making it easy to hop aboard.........................................
And that is what Mexicans were doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They would sneak across the border after dark and wait for a freight train and hop aboard as it lumbered up the grade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The banditos knew how to trigger the emergency air brakes on the train and when it stopped they would pick a couple of cars and a mob would ransack whatever was inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While the train crew hid out of sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes they might find electronics...............................................
or clothing........................................
or maybe only toilet paper..............................................
but HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All these things are necessary and getting them for free in nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So the railway got sick of the crap and batches of FBI agents began riding in random freight cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure enough a freight carrying FBI cargo got stopped and as the banditos jumped in.........................
FBI jumped out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A wild melees ensued..................................
A female FBI agent was cracked on the skull with a club................................
but hung on long enough for other agents to get a good look at her attacker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The banditos fled back across the border with FBI in hot pursuit of the club wielder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chased the guy right into his own house and arrested him and dragged him back to United States to face robbery and assault charges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the Mexican ambassador delivered a stinging lecture to the Yankee ambassador over the Yankee "violation" of Mexican Sovereignty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Mexicans picking up a couple of Yankee soldiers ON YANKEE SOIL for violating Mexican sovereignty aint a new thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
