OBAMA SAYS, "OUR BORDER WITH MEXICO IS SAFER THAN EVER" - WHO IS HE KIDDING?

MEXICAN GUN BATTLES FORCE U.S. TO CLOSE TWO BORDER CROSSINGS
 

For the sake of public safety, U.S. authorities temporarily shut down two international bridge crossings connecting Eagle Pass, Texas, to Piedras Negras in Coahuila, Mexico, due to several gun battles between Mexican military forces and drug traffickers. The bridges remained shut from approximately 9 p.m. on March 6 and 8 a.m. the following day.

According to Mexican news reports, the U.S. State Department requested the shutdown in response to a series of gun battles involving rifles and rocket grenade launchers. Media account from both sides of the border revealed that the traffickers used an 18-wheeler engulfed in fire as a road block approximately a quarter-mile from one of the bridges and that one female police officer and at least six members of the Mexican military were wounded as a result of the battle.


Eagle Pass Police Chief Tony Castaneda, said the gun battles were “not out of the norm” and that the brides were closed to prevent the criminals from “fleeing and entering the U.S. to escape because many of them do have the right to enter by means of a passport.”
