What once was unimaginable ...

Mexican troops are in Texas right now delivering aid to evacuees from the Gulf coast.

About 45 vehicles carrying 200 or so people were bound for San Antonio, carrying treatment plants, mobile kitchens and supplies to feed the displaced Louisiana victims. It is the first Mexican military unit to operate on U.S. soil since 1846.

The first green tractor-trailers, with Mexican flags attached to the tops of their cabs, crossed the international bridge at Laredo at about 8:15 a.m.

Guess we ought to be grateful for the help.

The last time Mexican troops had a serious incursion into Texas, a war broke out and Mexico lost half of its territory.

Considering the immigration situation, it looks like winning the war and losing the peace is old hat for us.
