Sabre Rattling South of the Border

From NewsMax:

Mexico's President Vicente Fox is preparing to respond militarily to a group of U.S volunteers who plan to patrol the U.S.-Mexican border starting tomorrow, positioning more than a thousand troops nearby, according to an Arizona TV station.

"The Mexican military is on standby," reports NBC's Tucson affiliate KVOA. "One unit has about a thousand soldiers. They're located just across the border."

If this is true, I want to know a few things.

1. Why is it ok for Mexico to use troops on their side but not a good idea for us to use troops on our side?
2.What does Fox think the Mexican Army is going to do if something happens in the US?

If these guys so much as put a toe across the border we should meet them head on, march straight to Mexico City and pay Vinnie a visit.

I'm hoping this turns out to be a false report because if it is true, it's time for a reality check.

That is outrageous! I've got another question. Why can't they use their army on the border to help keep people from crossing it into our land?

I`ve heard tales from border guards about shootouts with Mexican Soldiers on the U.S. side of the border previously. It`s time we put our foot down; if Fox wants to start a new Mexican War we should finish it.

Just who does he think he is?
