The rat rule is that for every one that you do see, there are at least 50 that you do not see.

Mexican narco killers are operating freely in the USA, thanks to our open border Quisling traitors.

Does the FBI do anything other than issue advisories these days? Seems the only part of this agency that does any heavy lifting is their PIO.

“South Texas used to be the back door to the United States,” he added. “Now we are the front door.”

“If we had any hard evidence, we’d be all over it.”

Just like they were all over the parades marching down main street will hundreds of thousands of illegals.

The Los Zetas are the Al-Qaeda of Mexico. Very nasty.

Mexico or the US?.... You’d think it would be Mexico but you never know....

snip
As for whether the organization has a training ranch in Texas, Webb said there have long been rumors, but he is not aware of hard evidence.

“It very well could be true, but as far as us having a location for the ranch, it is all conjecture,” said Webb, who believes it is more likely they train in Mexico than Texas. “If we had any hard evidence, we’d be all over it.”

The FBI and ATF didn't waste any time here:

Looks like the Zetas are a protected class.

This story is all wrong, these are just some immigrants studying for their naturalisation process.

Sarcasm.

It sounds like this book!
***

Border War (A book in the Invasion USA series) (2006)

A novel by
J A Johnstone and William W Johnstone

Not since the days of the infamous Pancho Villa, has a
foreign force raided American soil for plunder.
And when a busload of American schoolgirls is hijacked
and taken across the border into Mexico, the repercussions
prove to be deadly.
The gang of kidnappers is led by the ruthless crime lord
Alphonso Guerrerro, whose daughter is on that bus.
His ex-wife took his daughter back to the States, but
Alphonso wants her back - it’s a matter of pride - and
will stop at nothing to get her.
Now he’s got a devil’s bounty of young women to be used
as hostages, or sold into the horrors of white slavery
in South America if his demands are not met.
But, Vietnam vet Tom Brannon has something to say about
this.
His niece is on that school bus, so he’s recruiting a
battle-tough squad of ex-soldiers made up from the
families of the kidnapped girls.
They’re going to rescue the girls and destroy Guerrerro
and his gang of border thugs once and for all.

There are many ranches for sale in west Texas...some come with many thousands of acres and not much natural cover. Aerial surveillance should be no problem...if Google can do it, well...it takes motivation...

East Texas with its forest canopy would seem like a better bet......to stay hidden.

I’m sure the Seals could use some practice.

I've read some Johnstone.

"Hunted" comes to mind. Good stuff.

This is nothing new. Been happening here for years.

Not hard to hide Mexican drugsters in Texas.

If they were holding Bible studies, hosting NRA meetings or home schooling, the place would be a smoking hole already.

“If we had any hard evidence, we’d be all over it.”

Sure you would. And monkeys might fly out of my ass too.

The evidence is clear, the borders are open and ILLEGALS have brought in drugs, diseases, crime, and other garbage. Not to mention taking our tax money to pay for healthcare, schools, housing, anchor babies and everything you can imagine.

Nope, no evidence whatsoever.
