I'm unsure of this one but my feeling is that one must present a number from their military ID to be able to purchase those uniforms. Someone on this side had to do it for them. Someone who is a US citizen had to do it. I don't think they put the uniforms on after they crossed. I think they were "assisted" at the border. Do you not think that it would be a red flag for a BP officer at the line to see a van with government plates, all Hispanic military personnel, with the name "Perez" seamed? You don't think BP would have asked for their IDs at the line? A staff at the port of entry had to know what was going on and agreed to ignore the entrance of these individuals. Plain and simple...
Or, the uniforms could have been furnished by a “Perez” who currently serves in our military, who legally obtained the uniforms during a certain time span, and then had them delivered to Mexico by another traitor. Otherwise, why would they all contain the same name? Then, yet another traitor assisted them at the border. The possibilities are endless, frightening, and disgusting.

They should investigate every Perez in the Marines.

And just what is the punishment for someone caught committing an act of war while wearing the uniform of another country?

If these people would spend even a portion of their time making the same efforts to improve their own countries as they spend committing every kind of fraud and deception to get over here illegally, they could make real progress.

Puerto Rico is a US territory. It's residents are native born American citizens the same as the rest of us. Same for Guam, the US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. American Samoans, Palauans, Marshall Islanders, and Micronesians are US nationals but this may change in the future.

My gut feeling is that one or both of the US citizens in the van were/are US Marines and provided the uniforms, the license plate, etc. This opens up a whole disturbing issue. Suppose a group like Al Qaeda was able to do this as well? the possibilities are endless.

Although I'm almost certain your kidding I can pretty much tell you that the Corps wouldn't spend the time and resources to interview and investigate every Marine with the last name Perez. Also, assuming the uniforms were purchased by a current or former Marine, the last name isn't much of a clue to go on because Marines aren't prohibited from ordering name tapes with a name other than their own.

No, I am NOT kidding. This is a serious breach of security. They not only had authentic Marine uniforms, but they also had a military vehicle and tags. This can’t be ignored. If a Marine is complicit in this scheme, he should be court-martialed and dishonorably discharged. He is a traitor, period.

While I agree that if a Marine did actually help them they should be punished, the odds of finding out who that Marine may have been is slim to none.

That may be true. However, they should at least investigate to the best of their ability. These men could have easily been members of a terrorist group, carrying chemical weapons.
