As if we needed any more proof that the security of America’s southern border is seriously compromised, word is leaking out about a recent incursion into the United States by the Mexican military.
As usual, DHS has been very tight-lipped about the incident. This latest sovereignty violation comes on the heels of one in January of this year in which two border agents were held at gunpoint on U.S. soil by Mexican Troops.
This time the scene was a drug tunnel which opened to a warehouse in Otay Mesa, California, near San Diego.
A cross-border tunnel was discovered by Federal Authorities on April 1st and the U.S. Border Patrol was guarding the entrance around the clock. On April 3rd, a group of at least five fully-armed persons who identified themselves as Mexican military soldiers came through into the U.S. through the tunnel and attempted to exit the tunnel into California at the warehouse.
The Border Patrol refused to allow them to exit and told them they would have to return south the way they came. Initially the insurgents refused until they were notified that Mexican police were on their way to the warehouse. At that point they returned to Mexico without ever providing proof of their identity.
Border Patrol Union official Gabe Pacheco verified that the Mexican soldiers were clearly visible through an in-tunnel camera carrying automatic weapons. Paul Beeson, the chief of the San Diego Border Patrol sector also verified the incident and identified the trespassers as members of Mexico’s SEDENA, Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional.
Beeson downplayed the event saying “We are confident they were Mexican government officials who had reason to be in the tunnel.”
While Beeson may be confident, the agents on site were unable to ascertain legitimate grounds for them being in the tunnel and they were not expected. Initial efforts to verify their identity by the Border Patrol proved negative although ultimately their identity was confirmed by the Mexican authorities.
In describing the failure to notify the U.S. or request permission for the illegal entry, Beeson said, “it’s unfortunate that they didn’t tell us when they were going to be there.”
Unfortunate is an appropriate way to describe our border situation in general.
