A US Border Patrol boat patrolling the Rio Grande was attacked by four Mexican gunmen with automatic weapons from the riverbank in Mexico firing more than 50 rounds. No one on board was injured according to CBP.
“Agents saw four subjects with automatic weapons who shot over 50 rounds at them. The boat was hit several times but no one on board was injured,” the CBP said.
They should have lit them up like the 4th of July, and then identified them. Surely shooting back when under fire is within the “rules of engagement.”

This is nothing short of an act of war.

Looks like border patrol is now a job for the US military.
We’re glad to hear “no one on board was injured” CBP! After reading/hearing this ????????? One has to wonder if this was one of those guns that were bought in ???????? and smuggled into Mexico, and sold to the Drug Cartel(s)? CC: @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/yzLZRWrPyg
