FRONTON - A man says a bullet from a gunbattle in Mexico hit one of his trees.
"My friend was right here beside me. We could hear everything happening on the other side," said Julio Guerra of Fronton.
Guerra listened to two hours of gunbattle. While it was happening in a different country, it was within a couple miles of his bedroom window.
"I'm not scared," said Guerra.
The Guerras have lived in Fronton for many years. He's grown accustomed to the noise on the other side of the river.
"Me and my wife have been living here a long time. We have grandkids here," said Guerra.
Starr County sheriff's deputies confirmed a gunbattle in the Mexican town of Los Guerras.
"It did hit the house, by the bathroom on the side of the house," said Guerra.
Guerra says his neighbor's house has bullet holes in it. Another family a few houses down agreed.
Local authorities can't confirm the reports. They tell us they didn't find any bullets in the area.
Sounds like it’s kinda like living next to a firing range.
shoot back!
Mortars and a spotter is what they need.
Or a howitzer maybe.
No country for old men.
Except at a firing range there is a backstop that catches the bullets.
“Or a howitzer maybe.”

(I know, I know, under the current Osama/Oblama, this will never happen)
Is this serious?
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
My ex-house in the Dallas area has Mexican bullet holes in it, but not from drug cartels. These came courtesy of the local Crips.
It seems to be serious. The Spanish are - well, were - militant people. Ask Anoreth!
Now, this is special.....
MEXICAN POLICE TO PATROL NY?
NEW YORK, New York — In a series of events which has caused wide notice and a storm of protests, the government of Mexico, through its consulate in New York in the United Nations, has announced it will begin patrolling the New York City borough of Staten Island to “safeguard” its nationals there.
The actions of Mexico come after a series of incidents the Mexican government terms “bias attacks.”
Ironically, these so-called “hate crimes” have been perpetrated by blacks and Asians, indicative of rising tensions between various ethnic groups in the U.S. The Catholic Examiner and NBC New York both reported the Mexican government’s intention to mount surveillance, patrol and police in and around the Staten Island community of Port Richmond, which in recent years has seen a large influx of Mexican illegal immigrants.
Since the Examiner’s coverage, however, councilor officials, city hall and the local press have begun to carefully de-emphasize any possible role of Mexican law enforcement or military in efforts to secure the neighborhood.
Mexican officials have set up a neighborhood office and a local phone hot line for their nationals to report “bias incidents”—regardless as to whether they are in the United States legally.
New York City police had been monitoring the situation and investigating the reported assaults as local crimes. The actions of the Mexican government have caused Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to order what many observers say is the most concentrated police mobilization since the World Trade Center disaster.
The main street of Port Richmond was swiftly transformed into what the New York Times described as a war zone like atmosphere with over 120 newly assigned officers, high-intensity night lighting, two huge “sky tower” police observation posts, frequent helicopter overflights and 20 police cars to watch the center of the relatively small neighborhood. Several long-term residents described it as a constant hornet’s nest of activity.
Both published reports and residents say that reports of fights between Mexicans and other groups began years ago, in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Many charge the present round of incidents started in 2003 with one loss of life in 2006, which might not even be connected to the present series of events.
At a major community gathering held at the historic St. Phillips Baptist Church, speakers addressed the current situation in the neighborhood and the borough, while Mexican councilor officials looked on.
But while the Richmond anti-violence organization and assorted left-leaning journalists who attended may have been expecting a mea culpa from local residents, what they got instead was a blast of community push-back. Speaker after speaker from the black community told of horrendous conditions the largely illegal immigrants had brought to their community. Speakers described the pattern in communities affected by an influx of illegals.
Community residents, many of whom are black first-time homeowners, told of constant disputes, alcohol and drug sales, late night disruptions, trespassing and public urination.
Others in the audience, who declined to testify, spoke of men wearing clothes bearing symbols of La Raza, Aztlan and other militant pro-Mexican groups.
They also spoke of repeated attempts to summon the state liquor authority’s enforcement agency to deal with the surging illegal liquor sales in the area, with little in the way of a response .

Increase in hate crimes against Mexicans
The Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations (SRE) documented a series of “hate attacks” between September 2009 and July 2010 carried out against Mexicans who live and work in New York. Between April and July of this year, authorities have reported a total of 11 such attacks. The aggressors were mostly African American. One man attacked 11 months ago by three African Americans in Brooklyn, NY, only because he was Mexican, lost his ability to speak and walks with difficulty.
New York is only one place where racial tensions are rising. Five years ago, hundreds of undocumented Mexicans came to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. They were well received because they provided cheap labor. Today things are different. A Republican legislator, Joe Harrison, renewed his attempt to introduce and pass a bill (HB 1215) that seeks to criminalize the presence of undocumented immigrants in Louisiana. It is the example of Arizona that ever more finds sympathizers among a population bothered by the presence of these same “illegals” and their families who, five years ago, rescued their city.
“These workers, mainly of Mexican origin, have changed the demographic complexion of New Orleans by converting it to a city where the enchilada has become as common as jambalaya,” asserted Jose Torres Tama, an Ecuadorian artist and writer who has resided in New Orleans since 1984.

One the first one, that should be interesting. It is black Somalian immigrants who have been targeting the Mexicans.
Ping!
The 0bama regime has given INTERPOL a free hand in this country, why not the Mexican cops??
These elitists trust everyone but us!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Twenty years ago, I would have thrown the bullsh*t flag on this article. Twenty years ago, I would have never acknowledged we would have ever had a Marxist president, either. Our wildest dreams of conspiracy theories yesterday are reality today.
I hate to ask but what is Big Bend National Park like these days? I took the family there many years ago and we all really enjoyed it.
This is getting more terrible by the day.
Help Texas watch her borders.
Watch live on 14 cameras and report illegal alien invaders.
Night cams in operation

Does it work? Yes.
I recently caught on cam and reported:
String of illegals running through brush with backpacks
Numerous sightings of boats crossing the river
Numerous vehicles late at night in isolated areas.
It is immensely satisfying to catch these alien invaders on camera and report them to Border Patrol.
It’s way too HOT now! We’ve only stayed up in the Chisos Basin. Here’s something.
