This may indeed turn out to be a hoax.

At the same time, ask yourself whether:

(1) it's a conceivable scenario
(2) virtual silence from the mainstream media would be expected
(3) a lack of response by our 'representation' in D.C. would be par for the course

With our borders wide open, and Mexican criminals becoming more emboldened by the day, it's just a matter of time before possible hoax becomes stark reality ...

(1) it's a conceivable scenario. So is virtually anything the himan mind can imagine. We do not take imagined scenarios and publish it as factual news.

(2) virtual silence from the mainstream media would be expected. Very wrong. 99% of the "media blackout" of stories such as this are BS. I was a TV reporter / anchor for more than 30 years. We would be so all over such a story, you cannot imagine. "With the very rare exception of one case of trying to free a kidnapped child, I participated in absolutely no "media blackouts."

(3) a lack of response by our 'representation' in D.C. would be par for the course. <Nothing from DC needed. Austin could handle it just fine.
