Further evidence that our government is not serious about enforcing our borders.

" He said the incursion about a mile over the border took place over a neighborhood populated by many U.S. Customs officers who work at area border crossings — and that they knew what they were seeing.
“My understanding is the U.S. military were informed,” he said. “I don't know what action was taken, if any.”

Wow..from that article...corruption is working it's way into US agencies.

"..drug cartels are trying to infiltrate U.S. agencies along the border, with corruption cases among Homeland Security personnel on the rise.

In the past two years, there have been 400 public corruption cases involving federal, state and local law enforcement agents originating from the Southwest border region, Kevin Perkins, FBI assistant director for criminal investigations, told the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee on preparedness."

Sad, but not surprising. LEO and BP agents make squat for income. Those who can be corrupted are being given the opportunity to sacrifice their honor for fast cash.

The have a cup of tea and a crumpet idea of Obama's has made us very weak.

Hate to say it but if this happens again the plane needs to come down.

We cannot allow other countries to fly planes into our country without taking action.

Fighter jets should be all over any plane that does this on any border and give them one single warning, if they do not retreat within seconds then time to take them down.

This is not a game people. We cannot be this vulnerable.

Only a small part of it is enforced at all. Just like the bus that crashed in Phoenix last week that should never have been on our highways, didn't meet even minimal safety standards, the drivers were unqualified, and of course the bus was not covered by any insurance, very very few checks are ever made.

Now people know how it feels to have US helicopters flying over their homes. (Think Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)

I was stuck in that traffic for four hours, it had nothing to do with immigration. I live on the border and believe me it is a lot more active than the past years
