The Odd Book One Texas Rancher Found Near the Border
The Blaze ^ | 7-14-14 | Sara Carter

Posted on 07/14/2014 2:31:56 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

An Urdu-to-English dictionary was not something Mike Vickers expected to find on the rocky earth underneath the cattle fencing around his 1,000-acre Texas ranch.

Yet there it was — dropped, Vickers guesses, when its carrier got zapped by his fence’s electricity, and adding yet another dimension to the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, where tens of thousands of people have been flooding into the United States.

Vickers’ property line runs along Highway 281, just 4 1/2 miles north from the Falfurrias Border Patrol station. The station itself is about 70 miles north of the Rio Grande, the first highway checkpoint for vehicles coming from Mexico in an area known for heavy illegal alien and drug trafficking. Instead of moving through the checkpoint, however, Vickers said that up to 30 people cross his property every day to try to evade the Border Patrol. Years ago, it was only a handful a day.

More fence like this, and a few land-mines, and the problem is solved.

“We’ve found Korans, prayer rugs and many other unusual items at the border that…raise concern.”

When the next Islamist terrorist attack comes in America, Obama should be arrested for treason specifically because he did not secure the border.

Someone at my Church owns a ranch near Eagle Pass, TX. I remember probably eight years ago he said he found a prayer rug on the ranch where the illegals cross.

I can confirm what is being seen. The same things were photographed by contract workers from Tucson Arizona working near the border.

This solves one mystery, there’s no Urdu term for “electric fence.”

Same with the head of 'homeland paranoid insecurity'... He and Holder stay up at night dreaming some Conservative American citizen might do something 'bad'. This while inner city blacks have killed thousands since Obama took office... and radical Muslims have killed and maimed citizens in Boston... It's insane. Really, Obama and his followers are nuts.

Oh, and NOT ONE PERSON has been harmed by a member of the Tea Party... NOT ONE PERSON MR. HOLDER.

May as well put up several large signs along the border: “Pakistani Terrorists Welcome.”

F.Y.I. Korans and Prayers rugs have been found from at least the days of Bush I, i.e. at least through the presidencies of Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama - none of whom secured the border, not even after 9-11.

And I don’t have a problem with rounding them ALL up and trying them for treason. This clearly has been a case of the government and elites vs. the American people and the Constitution.
