Theyre already conducting a full scale invasion of our nation with the blessing of he complicit White House occupant. Hes probably fine with a little warning shot to the Border Patrol not to get in the way of a peaceful smuggling operation. Excerpted from Brietbart.com Breitbart Texas has learned that a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopter was shot down or forced to initiate an emergency landing in Laredo, Texas due to receiving gunfire from the Mexican side of the border. The helicopter was interdicting a narcotics load and working alongside agents from the U.S. Border Patrol, who operate under the umbrella of the CBP. The helicopter was operating in the Laredo Sector of Texas, immediately across the border from the Los Zetas cartel headquarters of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. The helicopter was in U.S. airspace and participating in the interdiction of a narcotics load coming from Mexico into the United States. A federal agent who spoke with Breitbart Texas on the condition of anonymity said, U.S. Border Patrol agents were attempting to intercept a drug load. A law enforcement chopper was assisting Border Patrol agents. The chopper received gunfire from the Mexican side of the border. The chopper had to do an emergency landing due to the gunfire. Border Patrol agent and National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 President Hector Garza confirmed that he received unofficial reports on this matter that indicate the information provided to Breitbart Texas by the unnamed federal agent is accurate. UPDATES: The shooting occurred in an area known as La Bota Ranch, a subdivision of Laredo, Texas. A source who operates under the umbrella of the CBP told Breitbart Texas that the narcotics trafficking event was a well-coordinated operation with individuals participating on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. The shooting came from the Mexican side and all individuals fled and got away. The individuals on the U.S. side also got away into the state of Texas. Another source close to the matter told Breitbart Texas that at least five shots were fired from Mexico and three hit the CBP chopper. The source claimed that two shots hit the cabin and one hit the engine. Another source close to the matter told Breitbart Texas that two shots hit the engine and one hit the cabin. Both sources cited in this paragraph claimed that an agent in the cabin was not wearing a vest and had it stashed on the floor and that the vest being on the floor ultimately saved the agents life. Agents explained that their vests are often placed below them in choppers because any rounds would come from below. The Federal Bureau of Investigation released this statement to Breitbart Texas: On June 5, 2015, at approximately 5:00pm during an operational flight near the Rio Grande River in Laredo, Texas, a US Customs and Border Patrol (USCBP) helicopter was struck several times by ground fire. The rounds penetrated and damaged the aircraft, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing. The pilot sustained no injuries and no individuals on the ground were affected. USCBP, FBI, Texas Rangers, Homeland Security Investigations and Laredo Police Department responded to the scene. The FBI has initiated an investigation and will continue processing the crime scene with the Texas Rangers. Since this is an ongoing matter, no further details will be provided at this time.

Now there's aggression an American should take umbrage at. Personally I give a rat's ass what Russia does or does not do along its border. This one lights my fuse. "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" - Dave McGowan

That is why nobody will attack Russia - they know they will draw back a stub and be living out of a hole soon thereafter. Therein lies the difference. EVERY swinging dick on earth knows they can invade the USA, and probably be rewarded with a free house, education, food, and medical care.
