I have heard that certain towns and border crossings are off limits to active duty. And yes, I read it here a couple of weeks ago.

So your (alleged) wife (allegedly) commits an OPSEC violation and your first thought is to post about it on ARFCOM?

Slick plan.

She also tell you why only Texas POEs were closed?

Yes, we are considering closing the border to protect Texas from the alien invaders.  The governor is considering deploying Texas rangers to the the New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana border.  Not that we mind folks from those states (we really kind of like them), but we must stop the invaders who sneaked into those states from the north from getting to the promised land south of the Red River.

This. The border is closed to military personnel; it is not closed in general.

Yes, the borders between the US and Mexico have all been closed, and it isn't on the front page of every American news site out there.

They've been closing certain ones off and on over the last week or two.  I think several base COs declared MX off-limits last week or so, I read all DOD somewhere but don't know for sure.

Yea, they've closed the Borders.  That means we are only letting in 500,000 illegals a day instead of the usual 750,000.

McAllen (Hidalgo actually) is open right now, or was an hour ago.  They've closed that bridge temporarily a couple times last few days though.

That has been happening in McAllen, Hidalgo Crossing, but it is not the Cartel protesting, it is the citizens protesting against all the soldiers in Reynosa.


Your info is bad, the crossings are open. But do not tell anybody, it is a SECRET>

US-MEXICAN BOARDER CROSSINGS CLOSED
= = = = = = = = =
This afternoon (17 February 2009) the US Customs and Border Protection
Offices located at the US-Mexican Border crossings in El Paso, Big Bend
and Edinburgh, Texas have closed due to violence across the border in
Mexico. Protesters clashing with Mexican Police have escalated at the
border crossings which has involved gunfire and explosions.

US Intelligence has reported the protests may have been staged by the
drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) to mask criminal activities along
the US-Mexican border.

Additional information states Mexican border officials have also closed
their side of the border. Personnel are requested to contact their
respective subordinate commands for situational awareness and force
protection measures.

This information has been provided by the Homeland Security Office of
Intelligence and Analysis and the FBI. As additional information
becomes available it will be posted.

I think I heard something from one of my friends in elpaso (I used to live there) about military not permitted to cross the border to party...

...and I know that almost zero U.S. citizens are crossing to party or shop for cheap groceries and goods.

I also know that there are tons of drugs piling up on the southside of the border due to the lack of u.s. citizens to cross them.

People southside are getting hungry and desperate... they have lost alot of income from legitimate and non-legitimate means.


What in the hell are people going to do out in the dessert with no water and minimal soil to grow food???
