A Mexican national breached a US Air Force base in Texas while on the run from cops — the second national security incident on a US military base this month.  

Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio, Texas, region stopped an SUV near Laughlin Air Force Base, which prompted a 17-year-old Mexican male from inside the vehicle to run. 

He then jumped a fence and entered the base, a spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told The Post.

I come from a military family. My father served in the Pacific and my mother was a heavy casualty Army nurse in Europe during WWII; my two brothers served in Vietnam and I served in Afghanistan — we have all been betrayed. Late Senator John McCain was betrayed after heroic service to country and over five years as a prisoner of war. Donald Trump brazenly told us that he liked people who weren’t captured, he told us that he loved the people who brutalized our Capitol police, he said that he fell in love with a human rights monster cited by the United Nations for crimes against humanity, and he said that Vladimir Putin was a genius for his invasion of an allied nation.
