HOUSTON -- A gunbattle at a drop house for undocumented immigrants probably involved rival smugglers fighting for control over a group of newly arrived immigrants, Houston authorities said.

Police found a group of 15 immigrants huddled in a locked closet when they responded to reports of gunshots at the house on Veenstra near Airline in northwest Houston. The immigrants included 10 Mexicans, three Hondurans and two Guatemalans.

Police said as many as 15 shots were fired Monday at about 6 p.m. They spotted guns inside one of two houses on the property before finding the immigrants in the closet. Police were searching for three vehicles that fled the house after the gunfire.

Neighbors said it's a sad situation, but not unusual.

"I'm not surprised you know this happens every day, they just got caught, you know these people just got caught today.

If Texas only has effective gun control laws, this never would have happened...

Brothels that are staffed by [often forced] and cater to illegals are problems in many areas, too.

A friend in Raleigh NC told me a few years ago about a large sting operation that netted dozens of 'perps.

"Si, se puede!" "Si, se puede!"

Remember, guns don't kill people, illegal aliens kill people.

What a mess.

Houston police Sgt. C.E. Anderson said the Mexican immigrants in the closet included three women and a 7-year-old child.

Their running gun battles have already killed people. Last year on I-10 in AZ, when they tried to hijack a van filled with illegals. Several were killed......but, of course, they're only killing the people that Americans won't kill (but would like to. LOL!!)

Mr. President, respecfully... why don't you try to see the problem from the perspective of many Americans?... You might get it Sir.

Well, this is my message today.

I'm sure we won't have to worry about them having guns when we start herding them back to the border.

I love the picture and the balloon comments!

Just stop using the word "immigrant" altogether on this issue. Because the issue is "illegal".
Also, stop using "border" when the only thing that matters now is "wall".

A great big Texas Wall, which, when built, all the poor people desperate for freedom can huddle against on their side until they get sick being a "huddled mass yearning to be free". Then maybe they will string their elitist gov't up by their heels and get with the program. This could happen, and I think almost all Americans would be very happy to see this, and to help.

Today's newsflash seems to be that Mexicans have loudmouth Commie idiots leading them...TOO. May Day is approaching and the Mexicans I know are distressed to see that it was manipulated this way for the benefit of the puppet masters, the Socialists and the Commies.
The more they can fragment our society, the more damage they can do to our President, our Republic, our democracy, and finally, our way of life. If we stick together, we can defeat them. This isn't the halcyon hippie days, they are out to bring down this country, and now they have the Muslim world to help them. Let's stick together.

I agree with most, maybe all, of what you're saying. Yes, I have noticed no one really, much less the LSM (Left, former "M"), does not even whisper who is BEHIND these "spontaneous" Marches?.. WHO are the organizers of these? and yes, you're also on the right track: the left wachos of every stripe! who see this as an opportunity to hurt the Reps, the conservatives and the country (well they have their own version of what this country should be) we'll join in and will try to turn this into some kind of "civil rights for LLEGALS, or something like that

If we stick together, we can defeat them. This isn't the halcyon hippie days

Yes, BUT we must first, if nothing else, let the politicians - our RINOS! - know, "we ain't that stupid," and we KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!... its about the "old switcheroo," rapid moves, hide the truth, confuse the issue..

Sounds a lot like the Casa Grande Massacre in Arizona a few years ago.

Did you draw that? It's terrific! Great analogy too, because with all the razzle dazzle of a shell game, the object in the shell is a simple pea...so if the shells are Congress, special interests, and the media, that makes me and you and our votes, the pea. So simple, so deceptive.

Did you notice that during the height of the "cartoon jihad", rioters in Cameldung and elsewhere were able to produce the Danish flags immediately? How is that possible? I live in an urban city, and I wouldn't know where to get one. The same holds for the teens in LA.
Where did they get all that stuff? Printed signs and two kinds of flags, T-shirts, etc. Who paid for that?

The New World Order people are using any means to splinter the American society. They were the ones who stopped the melting pot, and replaced it with the segregated, hyphen culture. I am getting cranky these days, so I now refuse to speak to 20+ women who use the hyphen. Turns out that lots aren't even married. Feminism is a great help to a low man who will shack up but never put up. However, what the Feminists have done to women and girls really pales when it comes to the attempted annihilation of masculine men. When I meet a hyphen man, the kind that says "WE're pregnant" or "My 5 yr.old diaper wearing son is my best friend" I want to cry for them.

That's my rant...I don't want the Lefties to win on "illegal". I want a BIG WALL. I think we have to do it ourselves and not look to the gov't or politicians for it. It would actually shame them if we built the Wall ourselves, I think. Wouldn't that be great? Let's stick together and be our own wall. Maybe those jacka@@es in Congress would see that they don't matter so much, after all.

Again, great drawing!

No I did not did the drawing...I just borrow "elements" from here and there and then add my own spices :)

Interesting the way you looked at the cartoon.. very detailed analysis of it. I look at it a little differently. I see this "game" simply as symbol of deceit. I respect politicians a great deal, I admire them... for their ability to... bamboozle people with their charm, cleverness, their ability to "act a role," depending of what the situation demands, all in order to survive... even if that means, "shading the truth" as needed.

With this issue of Border sec/Illegals, we will have ring side seats to see them "in action." :)

You see, the way I look at it, nothing they do matters if they don't fix the border!... because if they don't, we'll have another 20 or 30 million in 10 years from now... and THIS, IS THE REAL ISSUE for me. So they (politicos)like to "move" this issues around very quickly, attempting to fool us, and probably will succeed in giving Amnesty to a lot of illegals and then just do a couple of things here and there to make us believe they will secure the border, enforce the laws, etc, etc, etc. In other words.. well, the switchroo: rapid moves, hide the truth, confuse the issues, and win :)
