U.S.border agents arrested seven Mexican soldiers who strayed across the border in Arizona Friday morning.

The U.S. Border Patrol received reports of a Humvee driving north along the Colorado River near Yuma and U.S. Customs sent a helicopter to investigate, the Arizona Star in Tucson reported. The soldiers told the border patrol they got disoriented and took a wrong turn.

The soldiers were disarmed and taken into custody without incident, the Arizona Star said. They were returned to Mexico via San Luis after a background check.

This is the second incursion across the Arizona-Mexico border in three months, according to the newspaper. In August, four men dressed in military uniforms held a U.S. border agent at gunpoint north of the border, 85 miles from Tucson.

Thankfully, they were apprehended. I wonder what their business was in Arizona? Until our border with Mexico is tightened up this will continue to be a problem, although I have no delusions of that border ever being any less porous--despite the best efforts of our border patrol.

I wonder if you could build a border fence for $810 Billion? I would think YAH COULD!

Fortunately, this one sounded peaceful like and actual mistake. There was not a fight or any drug running. It's sounded like an honest mistake.

It does sound peaceful this time. But what if...? I don't even want to imagine it. I've been speculating all kinds of scenarios lately. I think I need to quit watching so much of the news. Being so close to the border myself makes me nervous especially when we hear stories like this one.

I don't think the U.S. really has any territorial sovereignty to speak of at this point. It's basically lip service and not something any of our elected officials care to do something about.

The aspects of the economy founded on cheap exploited immigrant labor would come crashing down and we can't have that now.

Peaceful maybe but your telling me that now this is the second time happening in 3 months it's peaceful?

Sorry, I don't follow your logic at all. A strong border with a wall will not restrict US citizens. Unless they are in the drug trade or some other illegal activity.

Concentration camps? Where?
