Video: Texas family forced to leave ranch because of drug/human smugglers?

The Burns family in Brooks County, Texas, are packing up and leaving their 38,000 acre ranch because the area has become a war zone, thanks to the Mexican drug cartels and illegal aliens crossing on or near their property on a daily basis.

The Burns’ family home has been broken into, their land littered with garbage and the distinct sounds of gunfire can be heard from their front porch.

The ranch, which is located 60 miles from the Mexican border runs alongside Farm Road 755, which law enforcement calls a “main smuggling corridor” for the cartels.

Thanks to our federal government’s unwillingness to defend the American Southwest from the ultra violent cartels, American families are being forced to give up their way of life. It is yet another outrage

Don’t worry. I have no doubt Obama will ‘study’ the issue, and then surrender the land to Mexico.

Stopping this invasion is a job for the regular military, nothing less. Bring the troops home, from Korea and Europe, with all their military hardware, to defend our Country!

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Amazing. How quickly our leftist/Dem leaders (with a lot of help from our Republican moderates) have brought us to 3rd world status.

[BuckeyeTexan]

You know what the land owners on the border need to do? Start burying land mines along the southern edge of their property. I gurantee you that’ll put an end to illegals crossing on their property.

[OPS4]

The agenda all along was to allow our country to become a communist third world ower by those progressive Communits who have gained power in our government.

The only way to stop this is to use State Rights to defend themselves.

[Loyal Sedition]

No doubt “The Nature Conservancy” or the fed. will offer them 2¢ on the dollar for their land.
Then remove all buildings and make it another “Wilderness” so that the BP cannot even attempt to slow the smuggling!

[MissTed]

100% agree!!

[WayneS]

Surely to God they can find a secluded place to bury some bodies SOMEWHERE on 38,000 acres...

;-)

No doubt he’ll have a warning sign of the dangers of the area as in Arizona put up first.

Cochise and Geronimo basically said the same thing 150 years ago.

[Maceman]

Yeah, and look what happened to THEM.

[Ben Ficklin]

You could stop this problem by doing away with the permanent highway checkpoints and going back to the way they used to do it, roving checkpoints.

When the checkpoints are permanent the smugglers know where they are. They drop off their load(drugs or human) somewhere south of the checkpoint, which then moves on foot around the checkpoint, and is then picked up north of the checkpoint. In this case, the load is crossing the Burns ranch, and probably land owned by others, to meet up with their transportation somewhere along US 281, one of the main routes out of the valley.

But it ain't gonna change because the Border Patrol union doesn't want it changed.

“The ranch, which is located 60 miles from the Mexican border”

It is bad enough that we have to put up with this crap on our border, but 60 miles is ridiculous. That is the distance between Del Mar California and Tijuana. BTW heard on the news last night that the cartels made another amphibious landing last night....in Newport Beach, CA (more than 100 miles north of the border.

[rintense]

I would have hired Mark Levin and sued the federal government for failing to protect and defend the country.

[Gorzaloon]

Start burying land mines along the southern edge of their property.

I suggested that a year ago or more and was screamed at for 'Human Rights'.

We are beyond that now. Mines do not sleep, nor do they take bribes. It would be self-limiting, because once they were triggered a few times, with the usual media hysterics and cramps, the problem would stop.

Or, we can just accept the growing death toll, including "immigrants" dying in trailers or in the desert, and pretend it will solve itself.

[Jolla]

Exactly my point - they lost their land.
