US authorities and outraged Texans are pondering a plan of action to deal with Mexican pirates after a US jet skier was shot Thursday and his fleeing wife chased onto the US side of a border lake.
The shooting on Falcon Lake, part of the Rio Grande watershed near Zapata, Texas, follows a months-long surge in attacks by drug-cartel-linked pirates on US boaters who have crossed into Mexican waters. It is the first instance in which an American has been hurt.
"Piracy on Falcon Lake is an incredible story, especially when Somali piracy has been so much in the news," says Robert Chesney, a national security and terrorism expert at the University of Texas School of Law, in Austin. "It's amazing to think that it's actually happening on the Texas border."

IT has been going on in Arizona for quite some time now. What did we get for trying to stand up against IT? Boycotts.
And investigations by the Feds on the racist Americans trying to stop it.
Yup!
Time to reconstitute a company of Texas Rangers.

Last time we had serious border trouble with Mexico the solution turned out to be to just annex everything in dispute - and then some.
That means he's dead, folks. You go into the water with a bullet in your back, the drowning thingy usually finishes what the bullet started.
It's a heinous murder that should bring troops to the border.
But of course, like Bob Krentz' murder, Janet "Bulldyke" Napolitano will wring her hands and say "what we need is comprehensive immigration reform" in response.
Mexico should be a US resort by now...if we did it right.
The really sad part is,, if he had a pistol to protect himself with,, the US GOV would arrest him, jail him, ruin him.......I’m beginning to hate the USA!!!!!!!!!
We already have the “Texas Rangers” - all that is needed is for Gov. Goodhair to turn them loose on the issue...

It's Texas governor Rick Perry who's on the bubble this time. I'll lay you odds he just sits quietly and leaves it all up to the feds.
It is past time to stamp out some insects that have come out in daylight.
Even third world countries have a sense of ‘pride’ regarding their borders and would do something, why can’t the US???
Of course, you’re right. I was thinking of Texas Rangers of the old school like John Coffee Hayes, Sam Walker and Ben McCulloch. Mexican miscreants would soon find greener pastures - to lie beneath.
“Im beginning to hate the USA!!!!!!!!!”
No, friend. Do not hate your country. Hate your country’s present government: That’s okay. Hate your country’s leftist shitdogs: That’s okay. But do not hate your country.
“It is past time to stamp out some insects that have come out in daylight.”
That’s a fact.
Can you spell P-B-R ?? As in River Patrol Boat. They did wonders in the rivers and canals of Viet Nam !!!!!
Your consideration and that of all other Texas Freepers would be greatly appreciated.
