Bachmann, King in Texas Border Town Devastated by Illegal Immigration: Looks Like World War II

ROMA, Texas — Standing on a cliff looking over the Rio Grande river in this border town, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) notes the buildings behind us on the American side—largely abandoned, run-down houses and a seemingly abandoned local chamber of commerce outpost—look like they’ve been ravaged by war.

“This looks like it’s post-World War II, like after a bombing,” Bachmann said while Breitbart News and CNN accompanied her and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) to an outpost on the border where illegal immigration and drug cartel crime runs rampant. “We don’t see people living here, but they told us these are stash houses for the drug cartels. You wouldn’t want to be here after dark.” ....

The two fiercely conservative lawmakers are rallying the American people to pressure their members of Congress to block Obama’s amnesty. They’re leading a rally on Capitol Hill when Congress comes back after Thanksgiving and calling on Americans to “melt the phone lines” to their lawmakers, demanding they don’t pass an omnibus spending bill—and use Congress’s power of the purse to block Obama’s amnesty.

“Congressman King and I were very concerned for people across the United States about whether anyone was pushing back,” Bachmann told Breitbart News as several vehicles filled with people and potentially drugs circled dirt road paths on the Mexican side of the border, seemingly waiting for the two members of Congress and two news outlets to leave so they could carry on with business as usual.

“So that’s why we’re meeting with the Border Patrol but also we want to let the American people know that yes we are pushing back but we can’t do it alone,” Bachmann said.

It might also look like Ferguson.

You’d think the blacks and whites of this country would join together to fight this “executive action.” Not only are the blacks in this country suffering from lack of jobs but their children are caught up in the drug culture which is destroying them. Ditto for whites, just not as severe. The lack of jobs will only get worse and the drug trade will have a devastating effect on all of us.

I know that little town. Roma was once beautiful with many nineteenth century buildings and some very old ones from the 1700’s that ought to be national monuments. Buildings put up by old rancheros, it makes me sick what happened to it. Just sick.

You seem to think public opinion has value. Why would you think that?

I went to google maps to look up the town. Confounded because google lists the Rio Grande on their map as “Rio Bravo” which is what the river is called in Mexico. Guess Google is prepping for the reunification?

Sounds like Roma will fit nicely in the newly sanctioned Aztlan empire. And, it sounds like CNN should be covering the news instead of the ideology.
