NM ranchers outraged by lack of security at border
The Albuquerque Journal ^ | March 7th, 2016 at 12:05am | Lauren Villagran

A ranch hand working in New Mexico’s Bootheel stumbles upon men and two or three vehicles stranded in remote cattle country. They turn out to be drug runners from Mexico who take him hostage, load his vehicle with narcotics and force him to drive to Willcox, Ariz., where they leave him alive but warn him not to go to the police.

They would be watching.

--

The cattle growers associations of both states(AZ & NM) are hosting a meeting this week in the tiny town of Animas to air their grievances to elected officials – including pleas for more boots on the ground – and they expect to draw a crowd.

I lived about an hour North of Animas for many years (1972-1986). Traveled through Animas every other week.

Plyas is an old mining town not far from Animas. The mine was shut down, read later that Homeland Security was using the town for training purposes. Imagine that?

The MX border area has always been dangerous, but not like it is now. Product of Obozo's policies and agendas.

The regime’s population-replacement program is meeting objectives, as the official numbers of illegals jumped to 15.7 million. I suspect the actual number is close to 25 million.

The same advice is good for cattle ranchers.

Our Pastor gives this advice to girls, it is also good advice for ranchers on the border.

Girls, young, old and in-between; I am convinced

That as FaceBook, Chobani yogurt, obama and the US Congress bring more an more muslim refugees to the USA, I have a message for all females in the US, white, black, yellow, and red.

Girls, ignore the obamites, the democrat, the gop, the ruling political class, the media, and the police.

Always carry a revolver. Revolvers leave no casing with your finger prints lying around. A H&R .32 magnum is nice as is a .38 or a .22WMR.

Ladies and teen girls, understand and remember this:

Rapist do not have day planners, rapist do not tell family and friends they are going out to find a girl to rape.

Rapist do not rape in crowds or where they think anyone will come along and see the rape or hear your screams.

Girls, Shoot and walk away.

Leave the rapist for the fowls of the air and the beast of the field.

Go home, have a good cry, a glass of wine and thank GOD you ignored the forces of the democrat and the political ruling class, and thank God Almighty that He allowed you to destroy one more rapist. Oh ya, don’t forget to clean that revolver and replace the spent rounds.

In the last fifty years there has not been one woman, in the USA, raped who was armed at the time of the attempted rape, NOT ONE.

And of those they calculate as legal immigrants, are only legal now due to past amnesty legislations for illegal immigrants.

Yep, I know about Cochise Co. I spent the night in Sierra Vista every other week for many years.

Even belonged to the local Amateur Radio club there. Lots of good people connected with Fort Huachuca. Knew several really good techs who worked there and the Chief of Army MARS at the time.

Very high incidence of drug infiltration in that mountain range. The mountains made surveillance difficult.

I had customers in Lordsburg, NM, Animas, NM and Bisbee, AZ, Tombstone, AZ, Wilcox, AZ, Sierra Vista, AZ.

One of those customers had a Lumber yard but was also a rancher. Sobering to discuss this.

They do. There were many of them along the border that had class III licenses. Owned fully auto weapons. It was needed even back in the 1980’s.

“The border is not secure,” Valdez said. “It doesn’t matter how tall of a wall you put up, they are going to tunnel under it, they are going to torch through it. If they want to come across, they will. The only way they are going to stop it is with boots on the ground at the border. We would like to see more agents.”

May be, but how they are received upon entry might discourage repeat offenders.

Trump said he would triple the border patrol size on the southern border. As you build the wall put sound sensing devices in to detect the boring of tunnels.

But the best thing is to shoot first, and ask questions later when encountering smugglers.

Last resort, invade Mexico!!!

They have walls in many places along the border and they still get through them. I think they should electrify them, not so bad that it kills or maims but so you know you don’t ever want to touch it again.

The last resort would not upset me at all. Kill all the criminal drug cartels and put their POLs in jail.

MX needs a revolution.

You need to watch the video. It makes that abundantly clear.

NM ranchers outraged by lack of security at border

I don't blame the Border Patrol for not patrolling when the 0bama regime threatens to fire anyone making an arrest.

The ranchers should form a posse, get deputized, and start shooting alien invaders. That will get a swift response.
