The Failed Pacifist

National Guardsmen Retreat From Border

The U.S. border in Arizona was reportedly overrun on Wednesday night by gunmen entering from Mexico. While the Border Patrol refuses to say if any shots were fired, the National Guardsmen protecting the site were forced to retreat. The report says the Border Patrol claims the gunmen "quickly retreated", but it's unclear why they would cross the border and force the Guardsmen to retreat, only to return to Mexico.

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.
