Texas State Senator, Dan Patrick, was on FoxNews this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”. Boy was it!!! The Texas State Legislature had been trying very hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could go jump, and “we’ll take care of Texas!”. As of last night… the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval… but when they could not get it… they acted on their own. Which I say…. it’s about damn time!!! I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest! In case you are unaware of what the problems are …. Sen. Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely!
1) 100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!!!) 2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing. 3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State officials,. are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!! 4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight. 5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the danger on the border (Yeah… like that’s gonna happen!).
FoxNews has yet to put this on their website which absolutely ticks me off!!!! I will post it IF they get the stones to do what’s right!
Let’s pray it doesn’t come to this…. but in reality… Texas could be in a Civil War (actually it would be an international incident) with Mexico very soon if this isn’t quelled. Just so you folks know…. the four Militia Groups that are here in Texas will be put on alert this evening. This has gotten REAL, REALLY FAST!
We need a fence and mines like Israel has with Lebanon.
And if I hear any more crapola about being nice to 'immigrants' and avoiding 'nativism', I'll curse the person out in French (my first language) or Polish (my wife's first language).
My parents and my wife were 'immigrants' who came here legally and obeyed the law when they worked. These people are criminals.
“Time to call in the drones....”
Yeah, what’s Mexican for “Predator”?
DJF, checking around the fenceline, it appears (so far) this is bum scoop , and it looks to me as if the origin is one of the “Ron Paul-supportive” sites (which probably have nothing to do with the good doctor.)
I wonder sometimes if some of this stuff isn’t custom designed to sell guns and ammo ?
From what I’ve been hearing, it has become a Sellers’ market-with gear selling at list or premium-and flying off the shelves.
Hmmm...
Here’s the story at FonNews.com: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,494984,00.html
PING.
According to Bablefish the word is:
“Despredador”
That state of heightened alert makes up the lowest level of response outlined in the security plan.

I don't think Texans would listen, if Zero said that.
“’A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state. the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed’....2nd Amendment..US Constitution “
Since the liberals keep telling us that the 2nd Amendment refers only to having a militia, I don’t know what keeps Texas from organizing its own large militia...to take care of threats from the south, or elsewhere.
It would have to be well-regulated, though.
I read the other day that Americans are putting drones on the border.
The Canadian Border.
If the shooting crosses the border into Texas, and civilians start organizing and shooting back, all of the stupid politics of pandering will go out the window overnight.
The American people are like dry grass with a blistering sun bearing down, and a hot wind blowing - especially here in Texas. A break-out of real violence on the Tex-Mex border will set that grass ablaze across the state.
If that happens, the Guv had better stand up and do his best impression of Sam Houston real quick, or he's gone.
The reporter does a pretty good job. Takes a while to load the video, but at 41 seconds in there is a sustained gunfight that should be heard by anyone that thinks having a few rounds of ammo in the basement is going to get them through turmoil like this.
Not quite that bad, but I've had similar experiences in the Central Texas area. They don't even pretend they are here legally; they congregate in large groups and give the rest of us their gang "evil eye." At the mall or large retailers like WalMart they are present in force with attitudes. Don't get in their way and don't cross them. Even the women are pushy and arrogant. And as you say,"not a lick of English." We Texans have been warning about this for years and now they are well on their way to owning our state and thumb their noses at us.
He was really good with reporting of internal mexican news stories back in the Chiapas days.
That is ONE BRAVE GUY. Unreal.
Ha! The American people are like reeds in the swamp; bending whichever way the wind blows. Or, more accurately, they're like suckling piglets eager to get their share of the Federal teet.

“If that happens, the Guv had better stand up and do his best impression of Sam Houston real quick, or he’s gone. “
He will, and believe me I despise him (he wants tolls on all of our highways...or at least wanted them, until he FINALLY got the message - but he’s still selling control of our highways to foreigners...go figure).
Anyway, he also wants to get re-elected. He’s toast if he lets the violence spill over and he has to know that.
