HOMELAND INSECURITY Texas sheriff warns of unidentified troops Believes armed men in fatigues spotted within country are foreign

A southern Texas sheriff is warning the public that unidentified armed men dressed in military fatigues have been spotted on numerous occasions in his county near the border with Mexico.

For the "country's safety," Sheriff Erasmo Alarcon Jr., of Jim Hogg County, published a letter in a local newspaper to alert citizens of reports he has received for some years from ranchers who have spotted the unknown troops, equipped with "professional backpacks" and walking together in a military cadence.

The latest sightings were just a few weeks ago, he said.

The county's deputy sheriff, Guadalupe Rodriguez, said he believes the armed men were foreign and were not drug smugglers.

"They are not your regular traffickers that you get," he told WND. "But we don't want to draw conclusions at this point and get everybody worked up." Alarcon said in his letter that "these military-type individuals have been sighted in very remote locations of our county," which "stretches 50 or 60 miles from end to end."

"We have reported this information to higher-up law enforcement agencies, but no one really knows who these individuals are, not even the military," he said in his letter, published by the Jim Hogg County Enterprise in Hebbronville, Texas, March 13.

The sheriff said that reports of sightings most often were received the next day, meaning that there was little that could have been done.

On one occasion, a report was received within several hours of the sighting.

"That particular time, we formed an immediate multi-agency task force between the surrounding counties, but we were met with little success," Alarcon said. "We even brought in air support."

The sheriff said he is publicizing the information "because we still don't know who these individuals are."

"Obviously, they are trespassing, and obviously, they are carrying something," he said. "We hope it's narcotics and not something much worse."

Alarcon said he is bringing "this information to light because of the security crisis our nation faces."

"If you see these individuals please call us immediately," he said. "Remember the last plane that was taken down to prevent further terrorism was done by everyday Americans who loved their country enough to die protecting it."

He advised that "if you see these individuals do not talk to them, do not confront them, but simply call 911. We don't know who these individuals are so there no telling what they are capable of. Thank you! God bless America!

Would you please ping some folks in Arizona to this? Thanks

Foreign troops - Mexican border trouble - ping.

I don't think this is tin-foil at all.

[Maeve]

Another good one. Joe citizen is the key to fighting this war on the home turf ! . . .

That's how it was at our beginning, and that is the way it is today.

[Dog Gone]

Whoever is trying to walk across Jim Hogg County is going to die. Unless you've been there, you probably can't understand that comment.

[Maeve]

I haven't been there, but if that means enemy forces will die if they try to cross through there, I wish that could be said of every county near the Mexican border from Texas to California.

Even if the Border Patrol's not there to greet them, there's another welcoming committee waiting for them to drop. They'll need a lot more than a gollon milk jug full of water.

Too bad for the tinfoil crowd that Jim Hogg County does not border Mexico.

[FairOpinion]

For all we know, they could be Iraqis.

For the sceptics, read this about the German Saboteurs who landed on US soil during WW II, with explosives, intent on committing acts of sabotage and terrorism.


"This is the story of the eight Nazi would-be saboteurs
who, in 1942, landed on the shores of Long
Island and Florida, intent on wreaking death and
destruction. Their plot was betrayed by one of their
leaders, however, and they were promptly rounded up
and put on trial for their lives.

As the United States entered the Second World War,
the Nazi intelligence service, the Abwehr, under pressure
from Hitler, decided to land saboteurs, armed with
explosives, on U.S. shores. It planned to attack factories
and railroads, disrupt war efforts and spread terror and
confusion throughout the land."

I'm in Santa Barbara right now. I haven't been this way in several years and I can't tell you how many people around me can't speak English! If they try, I can barely understand them. Any armies which invade CA from the south will only be a formality. Their backup is already here. I have no illusions as to which side they will be fighting on.

[Quix]

So how near the border is his county?

[Poohbah]

25 miles of absolutely bone-dry desert away from it.

This story doesn't have any meat worthy of the name.

Reports such as this are worth logging, but a better indicator is probably associated with socialist led NGOs and their respective behavior.

IMHO, the largest threat at present will be formed by domestic and foreign enemies of the Constitution united via socialism.

Perhaps in short order, the President could lead the formation of a new UN styled body sans the socialists. I suspect that would do far more to promote world peace than ignoring their ulterior activity.

If our current forces go the way of the Spanish Armada, a foreign organized force could live off our land far easier than we can live off of others. Coupled by a Fifth Column, diversified throughout power structures, substantial incentive might exist for others to attempt a rape of the US.

Indicators should be widespread, but then again nobody 20 years ago would ever believe somebody like Clinton, a rapist, would survive in office of IMPOTUS.

Watch environmental infrastructure groups, homosexual power bases, socialist groups, New Age/New World Order advocates, and race centered organizations promoting minority favoritage.

I figured it would have to be something to get by you.

I didn't have enough reference personally in that region to say yea or nay.

Plausible to me given my biases and other stuff but we shall see what eventually shakes out about all that!

Thanks.

I don't have a ping list so I posted on my State page.

I don't think the Mexicans would fight us ---they're a lot like the French, but they've already decided to be on Iraq's side in this. Iraqis and others could be given rights to travel through Mexico to get to the open border they have to the US.
