147 assault rifles, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, high-capacity magazines and bayonets

Assault rifles? Bayonets? Sounds more like a case of foreign invasion than illegal immigration.

Soooooooo...how did they get SOUTH of the border to only be IMPORTED (illegally) north of the border in the first place? Aren’t we the ones fueling the guns south of the border???

10 days and 45 days? I wonder how long a citizen convicted of possessing such an illegal/unregistered arsenal would get?

1. Truckload of assault weapons
2. Cartels threaten to detonate dam

How much more obvious could it be that we’re being INVADED..?

Clear and present danger since YEARS AGO.

Friggin’ retards.

That headline is confusing. INTO the US? Did they bring them in here or were they taking them to Mexico?

Ain’t this JUST GREAT?!

These anti-American leftists want to blame us—that’s US!—for Mexico’s wretched disfunction, and now, here’s a “conveniently” ready-made case to try to show that America is the big, bad ol’ gun-provider. And, these poor, downtrodden “migrant workers” were only unwitting mules who get a little short slap on the wrist with good meals three times a day.

I’m SICK of this BULL!! Get these invading interlopers OUT of OUR country!! Shut down the southern border!

This has to be the third or fourth story I have read on the subject and not one has any details on the assault rifles. They could be Daisy BB rifles for all I know.

There was speculation that this was a false flag/provocateur operation and I think this confirms it.

The news on the radio this morning was that these two illegals were attempting to smuggle the weapons from here into Mexico. Yeah right. More likely, they brought them over the river to Texas but that would not fit the media’s prepared story line.

Oh as to their sentence, Ramos and Campeon, US border patrol agents were sentenced to 10 and 11 years in federal prison for shooting a known drug trafficer in the ass.

Same ol same ol. And they wonder why the civilian population is arming up.

These weapons came from the US originally, as anyone knows. These Mexican dudes were just trying to return them to their rightful owners. Ya see, that’s a big theme with 0bama and his pals.

OK -- "Texas police seize 'Mexico-bound' weapons cache"

or...

"Feds Sentence Two Illegal Immigrants for Carrying Nearly 150 Assault Rifles Into U.S."

Which way is it?

Ping!

Don’t try to understand the story based on the headline. Really. I mean it. Just don’t.

I didn't know that K-Mart sold AR15s, AK47s, grenades, mortars, and hi-cap mags...

Silly me.

I don't know anything about a stash found near Laredo but I do know that a pickup full of guns and ammo was stopped around La Pryor, Texas a few days ago. These guns were headed to Mexico.

A farmers wife who is concerned for her husband's safety wrote the following: (I do know this lady. She is a retired school teacher)

I am so concerned. Twice now in the past six months Bruce and our men have been plowing in Batesville and have personally witnessed illegals walking through the field with one of the groups wearing some kind of uniform. The first and last man of one group were carrying rifles and the six men in the middle were carrying backpacks (most likely drugs). The second group had two men with rifles and three men with backpacks . Of course, Bruce and our guys did not approach them. It would be NO PROBLEM to bring in any nuclear, biological or bomb device across the border. There have been many other groups spotted throughout the year.

Our border patrol work hard but they cannot keep up. The border runners are getting too smart. Out of fear, we no longer work at night when we get behind in our work. These guys are getting rides somewhere and going on into Texas and other parts of the US . Pickup sites have usually been plastic bags or a milk jug hanging on a fence post. We don't worry so much about the hard working guys coming over. We understand their desire for work, but we are scared to death of the drug pushers and the OTMs (other than Mexicans) that are pouring over the border. The government could stop this............they just will not.

Our American kids and families are being destroyed because of all the drugs. Parents should be OUTRAGED. Cities should be concerned about bombs and other devices. One of these days, the bad guys are going to get it right again. But you know, the general public believes if it doesn't hit in their backyard why should they be concerned? We can control our Canadian border so why can't we control our southern borders? Saving grace with Mexico is not as important as saving American lives and families.........You know, if everybody played by the rules, we would all get along. This idea is universal. It is the one thing that all people of the world understand.........or at least most of them. I truly wish our politicians could understand this.

I don't see Perry doing much until after his election in November.
