Ok. Trivially it's an international incident as this is occurring in the border region between The US State, Texas and The free and soverign state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. So what?

You said it wasn’t a big deal because it wasn’t an international incident.

Honestly what the fuck are you trying to say?

No I said it wasn't a big deal at all calling it an "international incident" changes nothing because at the end of the day it's just a fence.
