Us Military was held at gunpoint, on US Soil, by troops from Mexico. Still don't think we need a wall? If our troops had been harmed, a state of WAR would now exist with Mexico. Our Troops were smart enough to de-escalate the situation by allowing their weapons to be moved back into their vehicle; but this is still an act of WAR. Bringing US troops under armed control, On US Soil is Unacceptable!

From this article also:
“The US soldiers were appropriately in US territory” during the encounter, the statement added.
People THIS is a real reason we need a real border wall! If these soldiers had been harmed, or if the US was unwilling to allow these troops to return to Mexico; we would be at war today! Only by ignoring this incursion, was war averted; we NEED a better option people! With a full border wall, this danger would be passed, but right now we are avoiding a shooting war by force of will only. Since Mexico want to push as many illegal aliens across our border as possible, and is apparently providing military escorts; this has to happen again; and next time we may not be so lucky!
The US Response is correct, place more troops on our Southern Border, so the captured patrol is not just a couple of soldiers:

Seems like a good temporary step, but without the required wall; might escalate armed encounters on the border! Enough of this crap, Build the wall, NOW! The liberals are opposed only because of Hate for President Trump, and the hope they might bring in more liberal voters.
This is the crux of the danger, only contained by the professionalism of our Military forces:

While the soldiers were fortunate enough that the incident left everyone safe, something needs to be dealt with about the Mexican soldiers drawing their weapons on US soldiers who were no threat to them and ordering them to put their arms in their vehicles.
SO, liberals is your hate for President Trump, and your attack on the Constitutional process used to begin this wall; worth open War with Mexico? That is where we are heading by ignoring the Constitution, and the Rule of Law; for political gains!
If this happens, we will be at War with Mexico; the liberals will be fully responsible for every death that occurs as a result! Build the wall, and stop this political grandstanding! The wall does NOT stop legal immigration; Only Illegal Invaders; so why do we risk war to protect illegal invaders?
