US 'contractors' arrived by boat on Monday at Playa Bagdad, driving signs into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

(59,526 posts)If they had no ID on them, Mexico can arrest them as armed illegal immigrants, put them in some obscure jail in the Yucután for nine months, and THEN remember where they are. Give these goons a taste of their own medicine!
Oh, and keep those machine guns trained on them until they surrender their own weapons. These goons are armed and dangerous.
