Actually it appears they have deployed CBP Agents as human shields to protect the citizens along the border.

Another recent and interesting Texas cross border story was the brief arrest of Mexican Soldiers by US Customs/Border Protection after the soldiers mistakenly crossed to far in their truck over the El Paso border bridge. Their weapons were confiscated by CPB and one even had a small amount of MJ on him.

Mexicans saw this as a national embarrassment, luckily the story didn't gain to much traction in the US.

Not yet and I guess US soldiers can defend themselves.

But here is the bigger problem:

Roma, Texas may be one of the busiest hubs of America's immigration crisis at the shared border with Mexico in terms of illegal crossings and cartels
The Texas Department of Public


days after Border Patrol agents announced the arrests of a number of people last week who crossed the border illegally, including previously convicted sex offenders and an MS-13 gang member.

In a statement, the US Customs and Border Protection agency said Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector arrested eight migrants crossing the border, including a Guatemalan man who had been convicted of sexual abuse in 2009.

Along with the Guatemalan man, agents arrested a Mexican man in Welasco, Texas, who had been convicted of sex offenses in California, Fox reports.

Then on Saturday, officials arrested a man in Sarita who had been in prison for more than 10 years for sexual abuse charges against a child in North Carolina.

It wasn't the Mexican army that did it.

From what I've read they fired in the air to provide cover for those crossing into the US.


And the WH doesn't think this is a crisis yet.
