HOUSTON (AP) — A Mexican military helicopter has landed in Texas by mistake. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the helicopter landed Saturday afternoon at Laredo International Airport after the pilot mistook the airport for a landing strip in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

Okay, so what if no one stops them? Then should we expect hoards of Mexican choppers to be landing all over the place?

Here's a little experiment.
Go to the border. Now. find the exact line of the border. Go on, try. every grain of sand is either American sand or mexican sand... Are there any grains that are caught between?
Now try to figure this out when you're several hundred feet up in a mechanical grasshopper that functions by spinning things really fast, counterbalanced gyroscopically.
All things considered, they had a fair chance at ending up in Alberta
