So if say... rogue elements of the Mexican Military engaged in openly hostile operations, and in numerous cases fired their weapons on and in some cases even killed Federal Agents of the United States there would be nothing wrong with this?
Though it might not meet the black and white, cut and dry Webster's dictionary version of the term "Invasion" in the traditionalist sense... it is a hostile act by a foreign military force - is it not the Mexican government's job to maintain control and discipline of their military?
I suppose the next question in this series of questions would be
Should the United States Federal Government react, in some capacity other than "form letters", to this illegal activity which is being conducted by the Mexican Military on US soil (be they rogue elements or officially sanctioned)?
If i were president...
1. I would have already mobilized a division, minimum, tasked with the interdiction of any border crossing activity which is to be met with lethal force wherever necessary.
2. I would impose sanctions on Mexico, mostly barring all travel to Mexico, even going so far as to make it illegal for any US Air Carrier or any US Citizen to travel to Mexico. I would also repeal the North American Free Trade Agreement. These steps would be taken in order to bring the Mexican government to the table to discuss a border security agreement.
then i would see where it went from there
