    On one hand I get what you’re saying, on the other hand is Mexico going to start a war with the US because a handful of National Guard members saved a mother and child from drowning in “their” water?

    I get that wars have started over more stupid shit, but I’d hope we have enough brain cells in the modern day to understand that that would be in no way an incursion or intentional act against Mexico.

      Yeah, the US/Mexico border is not the North Korea/South Korea DMZ even if the GOP wants it to be.

      I’m pretty sure it’s more asking the lines of “if I cross the border to do this I’ll probably be dishonorablely discharged”.
