Mexican Official Captured In Texas video

KFOX first reported on Wednesday night that Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West said his deputies caught a Mexican customs officer driving around one of the county roads at 9 p.m. last Sunday night. “His official documentation saying that he is an officer. We called his comandante in Juarez that night, and the comandante verified that he was actually a Mexico customs officer. He didn’t know why he was on the American side obviously, but he did verify,” West said.

West said he has pictures that show the man’s uniform and the SUV he was driving, without any license plates. The officer allegedly told deputies that he was driving to work, which is at the Mexican port of entry across from Fort Hancock. But, West said he researched the man’s U.S. border crossing card and it showed he crossed two days earlier. “It only takes forty-five minutes to an hour, that’s all that it should have taken for him. It doesn’t take two days from the free bridge in El Paso, Texas, to Esperanza overpass. You could walk it in less than a day,” West said.

But, what disturbed West the most, is that he said officials found a Global Positioning System inside the officer’s car. “I believe that he was verifying the modes of travel for narcotics to be coming in the United States. He was approximately 12 to 15 miles from the road going into the border to get to the crossing,” West said.

West said his pictures are proof that Mexican officials are crossing over the border without any official business to be here. “Here is a prime example of a Mexican official coming over here and doing things like facilitating illegal activities without any recourse or any kind of action taken against him,” West said.
whats it going to take folks..a nuke?
A diplomatic incident would be nice. Declare him PNG and make a big show of handing him over at the bridge.

#12  I'm a right wing republican, and I have my doubts about Bush on this border thingy. Soft on Fox, and all too friendly. What has it gotten us ? Erratic drivers and cheap lawn care ? At what cost ? Run away Social Security and healthcare, and the chronically unemployed remaining so.
Bad business this. I like the Mexys, they work hard, but they can come in the front door, damnit.
The next pres runs and wins on the WOT and closed borders. It might help to mention ISLAM with a scowl too. It might also help to question if the constitution should be amended to define a religion as supporting a good moral life not decapitation, etc. We need to identify the real enemy and stop the pussy footing.
Vote for me....I'll kick some ass.

#11  All the Mexicans need do is stall for time until the demographic time-bomb forces changes...

#10  Obviously, this administration condones this, or it wouldn't be happening

Bush is fighting several wars at once already. I think it's more a case of picking his timing.

He probably also disagrees with you on strategy. But I doubt he condones these aggressive pushes.

#9  When the goddamn Mexican military and the Customs office openly violate our border, I believe it's a bit much. Obviously, this administration condones this, or it wouldn't be happening. What we need is a forced admission by Bush that he has no desire to control our borders. Then, we can turn it back to Texans. It will happen within one day. Case closed. Border sealed. No more entry, because Mexicans know it would be strictly a one way trip.

#8  Interesting point. This indicates that they are recruiting mules who do not know the terrain, and since they probably can't read maps, are reliant on GPS navigation.

This creates some possibilities.

#6  Hupeater, do you really want the headache of sorting out that corrupt mess?

#5  Which is why we should finish what we started in 1848 and just annex the whole damn place. Commonwealth status.

#4  (Many) Mexicans believe Texas is theirs...

Yeah. We stole the half of Mexico with all the paved roads.

In a bag. With the smashed GPS unit on top.
