This set of night vision photos were taken on May 1, 2004 at about midnight on the border at the San Pedro River, Arizona.
These individuals were definitely not your average illegal aliens. They started out on the Mexican side of the border fence and later jumped the fence to the American side. They came out of a group of buildings (called the "corrals") on the Mexican side after midnight at a jog and ran west along the border fence, jumped over the border fence to the American side and continued along the tree line along the San Pedro River. They are shown running through the tree line on the Mexican side. They never came back and were never seen again.
Notice the weapons they are carrying.

If they were not Mexican Military, then they were paramilitary types called "medrinias" that are employed by the drug cartels to protect and shepherd drug loads going north. The way these guys came blazing out of their bivouac area, it is reasonable to assume that they had an "appointment" to get into position for a scheduled drug run.
There is nothing abnormal about this occurrence, as the Mexican military is known to be in bed with the drug cartels. Our Border Patrol has orders not to engage the Mexican military, so they are pretty much free to do what they want without interference from the Border Patrol, including making regular incursions into our country. Although these incursions are not reported in the media, they happen quite regularly. Of course this begs the question: Where is our military?
