Border attack raises security concerns

A U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday night along Arizona's border with Mexico.

According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state's West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat. advertisement

The Border Patrol will not say whether shots were fired. However, no Guardsmen were injured in the incident.

The Border Patrol says the incident occurred somewhere along the 120 mile section of the border between Nogales and Lukeville. The area is known as a drug corridor. Last year, 124-thousand pounds of illegal drugs were confiscated in this area.

The Border patrol says the attackers quickly retreated back into Mexico.

Sad and disgusting. Armed incursions onto US soil by foreign attackers and our military runs...I'm sure the Guard is under orders not to resist an invasion, probably don't even have ammo for their weapons. And people wonder why "militias" are attractive to some people...jeez.

i hate making generalizations but most guardsmen or coast guard guys i know are hardly "military". it would be like calling a security guard a cop.

militias sprout in areas where there arent any nice bars or clubs.

yeah my friend is in the coast guard... instead of military they should be described as scrawny drunk guys who weren't going anywhere in life
