Some really disturbing news this morning. I know El Paso gets a lot of illegal migrants but for Mexican military to simply cross into El Paso is a whole nother ball of wax and it makes me wonder just how safe it is to live here. Yesterday the news told of a female soldier being assaulted by some men in the Afghan refugee enclosure in Dona Ana county NM, which is just across the New Mexico border to our north. Here's a link to this mornings news, it really should concern all American citizens.

I'm not sure the number of Americans but I know that the moment several states decriminalized it they gained more residents.

Just letting you know that link is not working for me Rebel. But I had read about this yesterday sometime. I thought it very curious about the Mexican soldiers.. But I guess everyone is coming in now due to lax policies. I hope you are armed up there where you live.

I think that's how the bombers got into the US back in 2001.

@rebelann Yes, the dog would alert you. Let's pray there won't be any need to though. I feel you will be safe Rebelprotected I hope. It is understandable why this is worrying, I am sure I would be nervous too with that being right on top of me.

Didn’t realize they had crossed into the United States? All those signs and customs queues didn’t give them a hint? Sheesh, it took us longer to get through the customs line to get back into the U.S. than we actually spent in Mexico when we went in 1967!!!

Were you in the El Paso at the time? Our border is much easier to cross than some of the others in TX.

@rebelann — no, we went over at Brownsville. And it was 1967, remember.

It's very different here in El Paso, we can actually see downtown Juarez from downtown El Paso, for decades people simply walked across the bridge downtown to and from Mexico, in the 60s it only cost a penny to enter Mexico.

We've been seeing footage of Haiti (I think) refugees being turned back from the border. It all seems so sad.

Yeah, it's sad that so many people want out of their own countries but when they come here they expect free hand outs which are not free to the citizens of the USA.

I have no idea how they are treated but I do know that there are always problems when we take in refugees.

@rebelann I can't imagine what the answer to all these problems is. We treat our refugees quite badly too from time to time.

Illegals have been coming to El Paso for decades because it's so easy to cross the border here.

I've wondered for decades. Back in the mid 70s girls were being abducted here and some were finally found being kept someplace in Juarez, they would have been sold to who knows who if they hadn't been found. Juarez is a very dangerous city.

The link is unknown. Apparently, the president is letting anybody and everybody into the country. I would worry about where the soldiers are going and what their plans are.

I have this sinking feeling that this was a test to see how far they could get, my worry is what the next step will be.

I can't open the link. Well, border security is a big concern for all the countries and it should not be compromised.

It is important to note that CBP, actually detained the 14 Mexican soldiers that crossed the border illegally.

I can't figure out what CBP stands for I recall they were detained but I wonder how far into El Paso County they got and then did they drop off illegals?

@rebelann CBP - US Customs and Border patrol it appears they were roughly around 2 miles into the US, not a smart move but he commader.
