A U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday night along Arizona's border with Mexico.

According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state's West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat.

The Border Patrol will not say whether shots were fired. However, no Guardsmen were injured in the incident.

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.

The Border patrol says the attackers quickly retreated back into Mexico.

I suppose these overeager "immigrants" were just in a hurry to begin living the American Dream and do jobs (like drug running) that Americans don't want to do.

Democrats are saying we don't need to build a border fence? Just what do they propose to deal with problems like this? More visits to the UN? How about a Mexico Border Study Commission? That should get the job done!
