“But when the gangs realized how easy—and profitable—kidnapping could be, they started abducting anyone who looked wealthy enough to command a hefty ransom, and that included Americans on either side of the border.
In the Texas border town of McAllen, for example, the rate of kidnapping has nearly quadrupled. Between October 2008 and September 2009, 42 people were kidnapped in the McAllen area, compared with 11 the previous year. And many kidnappings go unreported because the victims may be involved in illegal activity and don’t want to contact authorities.”
Phoenix, Az is the kidnapping capital, second only to Mexico. Looks like Texas isn’t far behind.
The solution is not that hard to figure out. The biggest question is the will and willingness to do what is necessary, and right now the Federal Government doesn’t have that.
Wear old clothes, drive a clunker...keep your .45 close at hand!

I am not going to shed any tears for the criminals who are kidnapped by their own types.
Bump! God bless you for your hard work.
