A Very Short Trip South of the Border
We make a trip to the Brownsville area in South Texas about twice a year and we usually try to save money on pharmaceutical medication and doctor visits by making a quick trip across the bridge at Neuvo Pregresso Mexico. It takes no more than 30 minutes and has always been pretty safe.
I just got back today from Mexico and saw some big changes. First off there were less American tourists than I had ever seen. Second, the Mexican Federal Army was all over the border bridge. There must have been 50 solders all carrying Heckler & Koch G3 7.62 mm automatic assault rifles. They searched every car that came into Mexico. At the first corner they had a 5 foot wall built in the middle of the 4 lane road with a soldier armed with a Browning .50 Caliber machine gun aimed straight ahead, not in the air. Kind of scary. Fingers on the triggers. On the left side of the road was another 5 foot wall and a soldier with a FN MAG Belgian 7.62 mm heavy machine gun. Again, aimed straight ahead and finger on the trigger.
Certainly nothing like this on our side of the border. Maybe there should be.Certified Member
