Luckily. the Americans had built a levee on the American side. just like a fortress. and they were protected from these kidnappers who would shoot their automatic weapons as if they were on the IsraeliLebanon border. Their bullets ricocheted off this dirt wall. The deputies dove behind it. but they never returned fire to the Mexican side. This gangstyle rural warfare you hear about on battlefields is in our own American backyard. In just the last year and a half. this is the fifth time Border Patrol has been shot at. Former Texas Ranger Doyle Holdrige put it best. He said. "After dark on the TexasMexican border. it gets western." You wont even normally find Hidalgo County deputies in that area of the border.
