We have all read the reports about the Somali pirates taking merchant ships and oil tankers in the Gulf of Aden and now even Thai fishermen in the Indian Ocean to hold for ransom.  Well it would seem that such pirate activity is something that could only happen in lawless places like Somalia.  However, right here in America many citizens of this country are now under assault from pirates who are operating with virtual impunity as they steal cash and electronics from Americans just wanting to fish on Falcon Lake between the American and Mexican border.
 
All along America's Southern border, we are having to deal with the results of our inability to stem the flow of illegal immigration.  From the ecological disaster created by illegals in the Sonoran desert, to the murder of an American rancher in Arizona, our Southern border is under assault from Mexico. Now there are even reports of how American fishermen are being stalked by pirates on an international Lake created by damming the the waters of the Rio Grande River.
 
In 1965 when the Falcon State Park opened up the reservoir for fishing there was never a second thought as to whether or not pirating would become an issue on the Lake. Fact is, for the last 45 years, anglers have been coming from all corners of the world to fish for record sized bass in what several Elite Pro Bass fishermen consider "the best bass fishing lake in the world,"  All these years anglers have fishing the waters of Falcon Lake with out trouble.  Unfortunately, America does......

There is absolutely no excuse for this to happen more then one time.

The High Seas are going to be full of piracy from all sorts of places if this isn’t stomped on immediately, which I suspect is already too late.

The 1700s had a terrible time with pirates and their methods worked, but I fear are a little politically incorrect. No more gibbiting, gone are the tar and feathering, hanging from the docks and all.

The good ole days are over:(
