Border Patrol agents recently arrested 13 illegal immigrants disguised as U.S. Marines and riding in a fake military van, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday.
The illegal immigrants were clad in Marine uniforms when they were apprehended at the Campo Border Patrol Westbound I-8 checkpoint at 11 p.m. on March 14 near Pine Valley, Calif., border officials said. Two U.S. citizens in the van also were arrested.
After the suspicious white van was subjected to secondary inspection, it was determined that the driver of the vehicle and its front seat passenger were U.S. citizens who were attempting to smuggle 13 illegal immigrants into the United States. All of the vehicle's occupants wore U.S. Marine uniforms, reportedly emblazoned with the name "Perez."
To be an "act of war" they would have to be acting under the command and control of the Mexican government. These are nothing more than criminals attempting to use a disguise to further their crime. The Mexican government had nothing to do with it... Unless, of course, this is another instance of clairvoyance and omniscience on the part of Nmysys, and he knows something we don't. In which case, I'd like to see a link to something that proves it.

I've seen plenty of van loads of Marines and normally they are a pretty mixed lot, whites, blacks, browns. I could see how a van load with just over weight hispanics might cause the BP to take a second look.
They heard about the new Obama citizenship program, join the US military and you become a citizen after 2 years. Responsible to bring your own uniform. lol
