September 16, 2010
On Thursday Sept. 12Th, Mexican soldiers on patrol were fired upon by an alleged drug ring. The gun fight left 22 drug cartel dead and one soldier wounded. The incident happened on a ranch only 18 miles from the U.S. Texas Border said, The U.S. Defense Department.
The soldiers searched the ranch and found stolen military uniforms. They also, found 55 grenades, 18 rifles, four handguns guns, 99 ammunition clips, 1,540 rounds of ammunition and vehicles. These kind of battles are numerous and often. The cartels dress up as, the military and commit all kinds of crimes from attacks, high jackings to kidnappings and road blocks.
It's been reported that the Drug Cartels will block roads to keep the military from going to the aid of a gun battle already in progress. Cartels have been know to steal buses and cars and use the people as human shields in their road blocks. (Good luck to the tourists.)

And the border remains wide open. Nothing much stops them from all coming over here, many are moving over to the USA side. One cartel now lives on the USA side but must continue to fight for their hold on the other.

If true that is simply amazing that the BP has not been able to stop these violent criminals, terminally, as they cross back and forth.
