Perhaps the US authorities were aware of the operation in advance, and therefore felt no need to respond? Inter-agency cooperation, and all of that?

I hope that's the case, or something similar. I'd hate to think otherwise.

the video says the helicopter was circling a home of a suspected felon, so if he was a Mexican who illegally crossed the border, I suppose it would be reason for the U.S. to allow Mexico to apprehend him, however, no one was apprehended, and why wouldn't the US just capture him rather than letting a Mexican helicopter enter the US? Sounds absurd.

How many more acts of aggression from Mexico will our criminally corrupt government put American citizens through before they finally do something about it?

Mexico is more of an enemy and more of a threat to the U.S. than Iraq or Afghanistan could ever be.

I'm thinking that it's up to the people to defend the borders, not Janet Napolitano and the homeland insecurity. I'd bet on Texas patriots being able to defeat the Mexican government, with or without helicopters. My prediction is that if the Mexican government ever invades the US, it will be the people that protect this country, not the government. Or if not the mexican military, the drug dealers are more likely to invade. Either way, the US does not have a very good experience of defending its borders. Rarely does anyone try to attack the United States, but when it happens our leaders seem to be running around like chickens with their heads cut off (9/11).

Bush would never have allowed this under his watch.

At least we (Britain) don't let our neighbours invade our territory.

Very funny.

This has been going on for years. The GOP is all about lowering the costs of production. Mexican illegals accomplish that goal. The Repubs, corrupt to the bone, make loud noises about protecting the border while doing everything possible to make the border as porous as possible.

Do you guys have trouble with mexican immigrants in the south, and how do they get on with the locals? Is it really getting so bad that soon spanish could overtake english as the most used language?

Incidents like this have happened about 300 times since 9/11 and hundreds of times before that as well. In one particular incident in 1999/2000 a Mexican Army helicopter LANDED troops on OUR side of the border and they tried to ambush 2 US Border Patrol agents on horseback.

The United States government has confirmed that the armed forces of a foreign nations have INVADED the United States and FIRED upon American citizens and law enforcement officers THREE HUNDRED TIMES since 9/11/2001 and NOTHING is done. This is infuriating It makes me want to go down there myself and ambush the next Mexican Army patrol that "accidentally" crosses the border.

That is correct, Chris. It happened, many, many times under Bush.

Clearly the corruption brought by our insane attempts at prohibition of substances has brought our border to this state of chaos.

But it could be worse. You could live in Mexico. Our (American) support of their corrupt system continues to make the lives of many Mexicans miserable.

If i sw a russian chopper up here, i would shoot the f**king thing down. Just like if i saw a UFO,i would shoot it down. YOU do what u think best when you see them trespass in our country texans. John wayne would say BIG MISTAKE Clint eastwood would spit.
