There is no border problem....Move along

[Axe]

I am a peace-loving guy, but this is a situation where the hammer needs to meet the anvil, the anvil being between the ranches in question and the border.

It seems that we have an extensive drug operation in our city that is largely tolerated. I do not doubt that other cities have similar presences. The excerpt below tells the tale.

Last month’s “Project Deliverance” federal drug-trafficking sweep netted arrests and drug seizures across the country — but not in the Alamo City. In the Western District, administered from San Antonio, the operation produced arrests in El Paso, Midland, and Alpine, charging defendants with links to Mexican drug-trafficking organizations out of Ciudad Juárez. Following the sweep, authorities trotted out more ominous assessments. “Drug trafficking across the Southwest border has led to a surge of drugs in neighborhoods across the U.S.,” said Kevin Perkins, assistant director of the FBI Criminal Investigative Division.

But if you haven’t noticed a surge in your neighborhood, you’re not alone. In the first article in this series [“A dry spillover,” May 12], the Current debunked official federal reports that San Antonio serves as a logistical hub for Mexican drug-trafficking organizations, and this latest federal enforcement action echoed our findings. This year’s National Drug Threat Assessment from the U.S. Justice Department and the National Drug Intelligence Center indicated illegal drug use has remained stable over the past five years, while the use of some drugs, including cocaine and methamphetamine, has actually declined.

Truth be known, people are talking about vacationing down there in the coming months. And they have been advised that 'Dirty ACU' works well in the environment and to bring plates, lots sunscreen, hydration carriers, extra boots.


Anything could happen and some of it isn't good.

A drive through Kansas City and you will find MS13 and Latin Kings tags, and you can find their members working for local lawn services in the suburbs.

There is no problem

The bloggers are having a spat over the validity of the story......

That's already happened...and yet the border is still a sieve.

The bloggers have a had a bad time this week, first with Sherrod and now this. Sherrod was nothing more than using the MSM's accepted practice of subjective sound bites to ruin someone.

This thing in Texas however, this is bizarre and it will be interesting how it plays out.

I hear you, but actually some of those in this fray have brought things like the ACORN scandal to the forefront. Would you take Chris Matthews or Keith Obermans word over Diggers? At best I would put them on the same plain.

Laredo is apparently on 'Lockdown', The Laredo Mayor says they have had '12 killed'........but it is contained on the Mexican side and Laredo is a safe city.

Whoa there a minute partner..... the internet is your free source of information, this story is going viral and it seems there's some truth to it:

I've got an idea, "HEY Ambush Master, there's a gunfight in your neck of the woods and no one invited you!" (There, we'll soon know if Laredo,Tx. is under siege or not!)

LOL, now you've gone and done it...

Actually, since he's jumping out of a plane today, may already have re-routed the pilot, oh, let's say a little south of the original DZ.

IIRC one of the better lines from The Magnificent Seven comes from the bandit leader Calvera,

Calvera: You'll do much better on the other side of the border. There you can steal cattle, hold up trains... all you have to face is sheriff, marshall. Once I rob a bank in Texas; your government get after me with a whole army... whole army! One little bank. Is clear the meaning: in Texas, only Texans can rob banks

Seriously though, life is stranger than fiction, it would seem hard to pass up for the MSM, but then I'm still baffled by the lack of immediate response to Nogales...

The Rio Grande river runs between Nuevo Laredo and Laredo, and is all that is separating the White House from the Nuevo Laredo shootout story. Any conspicuous coverage of the Cartel problem will damage the President’s Immigration Reform efforts and his prospects for acquiring 20 million+ new voters. He’s going to need them in two years. They would certainly offset his current poll numbers.

What is conspicuous is that MSNBC, The Laredo Morning Times, or any other news source, does not have an enterprising young reporter out on Mines Road, interviewing two ranch families about how there‘s nothing happening at their place as they live peacefully at the center of a growing internet hoax.
