Interesting, but maybe those that are familiar with the situation could answer two questions for me:

1. WHY would the mexican federales shoot at the USBP agents?

2. WHY would the mexican federales shoot at the immigrants (from their perspective, emigrants)?

I.e. why shoot at anyone and why any incursion into the U.S.? I agree that this is an act of war - the mere incursion, without specific authority from our gov't to do this.
