I get your points - you are correct, of course. But I think anything to do with illegals (or to be PC about it - Displaced Foreign Travelers) would give any local (state/county/city) law enforcement personnel second thoughts. I think they’re all afraid of the feds which is absolute nonsense anyway. Wouldn’t the feds look at it as their job and the locals usurping it? Who the heck knows anymore?
As to WHY would the cartels take over US ranches - Because they can? Again - who the heck knows? I don’t live anywhere near the border area but I can certainly sympathize with all those who do. That’s not to say we don’t have our share of the “whatever you want” to call them this week....too many for sure!
It’s time to put the military - tanks and planes on the border - way past time! Use them for target practice. Wasn’t it the neutron bomb what would kill people but leave buildings standing? There you go - the ranchers get their property back - they just have to dig big holes to bury the refuse!
But the story still sounds fishy, that drug gangs have taken over ranches owned by US citizens.
The ranch assaults come on the heals of attacks in Nuevo Laredo that shut the city down as a gun-battle raged in the streets.
But if that is accurate, and under a headline about ranches in Laredo, Texas, then it means that ranches in the USA were assaulted by drug gangs. - Sounds like a dumb move, and I'd still like more sources on that.
The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being harmed.
Nope, we're not misinterpreting the story, though it does sound fishy.
Didn’t Bo say the National Guard would be sent to the border the first of August....perhaps they know this and why the take over of these ranches? Might have something to do with it?
