HARLINGEN — South Texas sheriff’s deputies on Thursday were investigating whether Mexican gunmen who fired on deputies and Border Patrol agents from across the Rio Grande had crossed into the United States.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino said 200 to 300 shots were fired from automatic weapons Wednesday night, but no one was injured on the U.S. side, and police didn’t fire back.

“This type of incident is a very good example of why I will not allow my deputies to patrol the river banks or the levees anywhere close to the river,” he said. “We do have drug trafficking gangs, human trafficking gangs, that will not hesitate to fire at us.”

As Junkyard Blog puts it:

Just don’t patrol near the scary border, which has trigger-happy bad guys.

The bad guys are making the Mexican/US Border an armed border. Of course we know why! To keep the paths open for drug trade, illegals and terrorists to enter the US. The Senate seems reluctant to do anything. The Governors for the most part are reluctant and it appears the Sherriff reads it right. Why put “my men’s lives” on the line. This makes the Minutemen project even more crucial. Just wait until some of our National Guard troops get hit by fire and are pulled from the border because it isn’t safe. Heck. Perhaps we should pull NY, LA and Chicago officers off the street. They are dangerous also. Just let the bad guys have their way. Hmmmm. Do you think the bad guys read this kind of news?
