Soldiers Kill 10 Gunmen in Mexico Clash Along Texas Border

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Soldiers patrolling a rural area on the border with Texas killed 10 suspected drug gang gunmen at a training camp, Mexico’s Defense Department said Saturday.

The military patrol came under attack after finding the camp of armed men in the town of Valle Hermoso, in the border state of Tamaulipas, on Friday, the department said in a statement.

The soldiers returned fire and killed 10 suspects. Soldiers also seized weaponry including 24 rifles, two grenade launchers and 18 grenades, as well as an armored vehicle, it said.

The Gulf coast state of Tamaulipas, which borders Texas, has seen a spike in violence since last year’s split between the Gulf cartel and the Zetas, formerly a gang of enforcers and now a cartel in its own right.

In November, the federal government launched a major military offensive sending more soldiers to Tamaulipas and neighboring Nuevo Leon state after the area was overwhelmed by violence linked to the two gangs’ turf dispute.

More than 34,600 people have died in drug-related killings in Mexico in the four years since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against the cartels.

In another attack Saturday, a police commander died and three officers were wounded when a car bomb exploded in the central state of Hidalgo.

State Public Safety Secretary Damian Canales Mena said the officers were checking out a tip that a body was in the trunk of the vehicle when it exploded.

Investigators suspect the Zetas cartel was behind the attack in the town of Tula. It could be revenge for the recent killings of two cartel members by police, Canales Mena said.

Hidalgo is the home state of alleged Zetas leader Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano and a central transit point for drugs.

In Chihuahua state, meanwhile, authorities said a commander who worked in internal affairs for the local Attorney General’s Office was killed along with another agent.

State Attorney General’s Office spokesman Carlos Gonzalez said the two were gunned down Friday afternoon in the capital, also called Chihuahua. A third agent was gravely wounded. A motive was not immediately known.

And in nearby Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, three men died when a gasoline bomb was thrown into their store.

State prosecutors also said that elsewhere in Ciudad Juarez, authorities found the dead bodies of three other victims of apparent gangland murders.

The Sinaloa and Juarez cartels have been fighting for control of the lucrative trafficking routes in Chihuahua.

    Sine the Mexicans obviously have a “shoot to kill” order on their side of the border, perhaps it is time for us to issue the same order for our side of the border. Erect guard towers every 100 yards connected by barbed wire along its entire length and issue “shoot-to-kill“ orders for anyone attempting to cross into the US and ”ignore” orders for anyone leaving. If they seem unsure which way they should actually go, help them out and show them the way with a few warning shots.

      The National Guards are only available during natural disasters and civil unrest to state governors. This was changed in the 80′s when they down sized the regular Army at the end of the cold war. To do this states needed to agree to give functional control to the Federal Gov’t. Because of the “posse’ commitatis” act Federal Army personnel cannot enforce state laws inside the borders of the US. when they inegrated Federal Army personnel on there Innactive reserve time of their enlistment, states now have to get federal gov’t authorization to do anything that would constitute law enforcement.

      I would love to see the Federal Gov’t use Federal Army personnel to secure those areas of the border that they refuse to errect a fence for, you could call it on the job training for a real war on the border because it will happen someday in the future.

      Border, there is no border in the eyes of the Progressive traitors in our government, this is exactly why they signed NAFTA in order to cement this idea. You have already heard how they spin it before. Our borders are safer than ever!

      These nations without borders, global system people in government should be thrown in a dark damp cell forever!

      @MySacredHonor,
      By the way, I agree with about 95% of your posts, so, hopefully we can still at least be somewhat friends. I, by the way, did serve 22 years in the military, and absolutely love my country.

      Sarcasm is ok if it is an understood sarcasm, but to sound so much like them as to be confusing, well it fails. SOUND OFF LIKE YOU GOT A PAIR!

      The more I read and the more I know, the more i believe that America‘s future and well being will rely on the balls of our state’s Governors, and the more i think about that, the more I am sated knowing that a vast majority of the 50 state’s Governors were elected republican, and the more I pray the were tea-party-minded…..to go back to out small government constitution, and small government thinking.

      As I look at the border, we should have at a minimum, the National Guard sealing off the border, with an order to shoot anyone coming across illegally. I am sorry if that would include women and children, but if you are engaging in an illegal act, so be it. We should seal a 10 mile DMZ from Texas to California, and simply put, engage with absolute prejudice and invocation. If the Mexican govt. does nothing to secure it from their side, then we do exactly what we did against Pancho Villa, invade and secure the border from their side. Then we establish a work visa program, after establishing who is coming here to work and what their background is, let the Mexican worker come, work and go back to Mexico as they see fit. I believe if a person is willing to come to this country and adapt, work towards citizenship, they should be afforded the same opportunities as all other citizens that have immigrated before them. If they have no inclinations to become citizens, swear allegiance, and embrace the USA and the customs, traditions, and history, then, send them back to the squalor from whence they emerged. They can then rise against their own tyranny and make Mexico the country they wish it to be, instead of tearing the US down to their levels. There I said it. Take away my 1st amendment rights, but be warned, yours are next.

      I was stoped by the border patrol on the INTERSTATE CHECKPOINT last week and searched. I mean, it was OK, I did not mind at all, but what illegal or drug smuggler would be stupid enough to drive up to a checkpoint that had agents all over the place? Really? How dumb is our government?

      We have a government with no common sense!! They are idiots!!

      Didn’t Ms. Napolitano, our Secretary of so-called “Homeland Security,“ just say that our southern border was ”safer than ever”?

      The vast majority of the American people have been demanding border security and immigration enforcement for years; yet, our members of Congress continue to turn a blind eye… As a result, rampant crime from south of the border is rapidly spreading to north of the border.

      How many more Americans must die before our lawmakers finally secure our borders and enforce our laws?

      When our U.S. Border Patrol agents handle security matters similarly they are arrested, convicted and imprisoned. It takes a president with “cajones” like “W” to pardon these agents from serving out their time, They’re out there risking their lives to protect us and our sovereignty and yet the leftists portray them as murderers while at the same time they coddle these vicious criminals. Absolutely sickening!

      .50 cals ever 1000 feet, squads of 10 men at each one. shoot first, ask questions later, that should stop every one thinking about coming across illegally pause for concern. I am not saying kill them all, just the first few, they’ll catch on real quick. Then we take back the 800 plus square miles of the USA they control now.

      I was quite sure that i would find the promotion of cold blooded murder on the first page, and i did.

      chuck will surely just be the first blazer to promote the killing of inocent in this thread. “just the first few..” Just like the constitution says, mh?

      I guess I’m kind of screwed here in Calif. then. Wish I could serve with you should the SH** ever hit the fan, but I will not count on my states gov. to EVER take a stand on border infiltration of any kind.

      So….I’m screwed.
