Ah, Mexican narco-terrorists. Just doing the jobs Americans won’t do, right? Well, at least once they’re in the USA, of course.

[jmacusa]

All this bought to you by the wonderful people of Mexico. The Mexicans. Hard-working, law-abiding, respectful folks. Yup. They’re working on their version of “Hope ‘n’ Change. How dare we racist Yankee gringos have guns which the poor Mexicans just can’t help themselves in not bringing back to their country and drugs and we are racists because we try to keep this madness from spilling over our border. Shame on we Americans. Why wouldn’t anyone want lots of these kooy, crazy fun-loving folks here? Close the damn border now! We can’t help Mexico. Years of sending foreign aid to this pest-hole hasn’t done anything. Mexico is dead. Some one bury it.

If UT Brownsvile has to be closed due to this disruption, Army units need to set up a safe perimeter, whether that extends over into Mexico or not...this is friggin insanity

[McLynnan]

And Obama continues to look the other way. Seems to me he should have done a tour of the Texas & Arizona borders before he set out on his luxury tour of India.

Sources said the Mexican military had surrounded the
headquarters of the Tamaulipas State Police.

I would not find a great deal of comfort if I worked in
those headquarters unless those members of the Mexican military
were Mexican Marine or Navy forces. If they're the Mexican
army, the soldiers are already counting their payoff money,
I fear.

I don’t think these guys are Robin Hood:

“On Saturday morning, at least a dozen banners, allegedly from the Zetas, were placed in various cities in northern Tamaulipas including Matamoros, San Fernando and Valle Hermoso. The banners mocked the death of Cárdenas Guillén and called his brother an informant.

Leaflets were strewn around Matamoros with a message from the Zetas addressed to the public and to the members of the Gulf Cartel.

The message — which was in Spanish and inserted the letter “z” instead of the correct “s” in many words — stated:

“To the general population and orphaned criminals!!! The group of Loz Zetaz is informing you and giving you the opportunity to join with no hard feelingz. Those who join will be welcomed to the Firm. Those who don’t loze their head and their dezcendants!!! To the general population, we are informing you that thoze who have nothing to fear have nothing to worry about. We have alwayz been here and respected the good people and in the upcoming dayz there will be much more activity. We hope you underztand and let us do our job. Let’z get going. As a matter of fact we are already here.”

We need to take over land in Mexico militarily to create a buffer zone with the mindset to shoot to kill if necessary.

[nina0113]

Get the effing Army down there NOW to stop the invasion.

[ncfool]

where is a Obama in all of this?

[foldspace]

Awwwwww.. COME ON now... Get Real!

If Mexico had Arabian Oil, it would just be called Southern Texas. Unfortunately for them, they have nothing to offer except (wink-wink) cheap labor.

Elected officials look the other way? Naw, their hands are tied! It’s not their fault! The world is more “complex” now, our needs have changed!

Global agencies set the tone now and they have “convinced” OUR elected officials that they have OUR best interests in mind, save the constitution.

I just thank G-d that MY kids schools are open tomorrow, MY Wal-Mart is open, MY gas station is open, and I have a little cash for McDonalds and a Hollywood Movie!

Gee, everything is fine here in Texas! Forget about Sancho; let’s send more money to United Islamic States.

[Savage Beast]

“Everyone was scared, gunfire everywhere, panic and chaos.”

Coming soon to Oklahoma--Kansas--North Carolina--West Virginia--Massachusetts--New Hampshire--Wisconsin--Montana--Oregon--and (are you ready?) CALIFORNIA!

WAKE UP, AMERICA! IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK!

[Kakaze]

Mexico, is a broken state.

There is no civil war, this is a battle between fiefdoms, ignoring it is dumbest thing we can do.

We should establish a strong border and allow them to work out the internals, otherwise it will beat all our back doors not just mine in New Mexico.

“The woman reported hearing machine guns and over 20 seconds of continuous grenade explosions...”

Isn’t it the constant drone from poli-crooks on both sides of the border that the guns are all coming from U.S. gun stores?

I am in my favorite gun stores fairly regularly and have yet to be able to buy or even see a machine gun or hand grenade.

The libs better get control of this situation or they are going to lose that part of their lying message.

Send the FBI to investigate;

oh wait, we can't spare any - 700 agents are with 0bama to protect his royal heinous, while he is on vacation at taxpayer expense. Sorry you're on your own.

We can thank GWB for “professionalizing” the Mexican military. IMO, with the possible exception of Colombia, his Latin American policy was, on the whole, little short of disastrous.
