ROMA — U.S. Border Patrol agents spotted a Mexican military helicopter hovering over U.S. territory on Saturday.

Agents saw the helicopter near the Roma-Miguel Alemán International Bridge about midday, said Rick Pauza, a spokesman with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Officials could not immediately say how long the aircraft was flying over the United States, but they said it appeared to be in U.S. airspace only briefly.

No further details about the sighting were immediately available.

Earlier this year, what appeared to be a Mexican helicopter was seen flying over RV parks on the southwest outskirts of Zapata, a small town about 100 miles northwest of McAllen near the Rio Grande.

A similar incident occurred March 10, when a Mexican navy helicopter was spotted crossing the border near Falcon Dam in Zapata County and then returned to Mexico without landing. CBP confirmed an agent spotted the helicopter that day.

Still the Obama administration and our very own Rick Perry are doing nothing to stop this.

i wonder if the american people on the border will ever consider taking measures into their own hands and try to shoot down a mexican helicopter so people can actually find out who is in it. be it the mexican army or drug cartel members

come on, being in texas, you havent thought of that.
my question would be, who would say something first and what would they say? how would our government react??? probably the same way they are reacting now. by not doing a damn thing

Both the Mexican Army and the Mexican Border Patrol officers, or at least people in their uniforms and with their weapons, have entered US territory many times to pave the way for the drug dealers to enter.

I am pretty sure that most of Mexican law enforcement actually works for the cartels. Those uniforms only mean that they are also getting a pay check from the government.
