MISSION, Texas -- Authorities prepare to use “whatever force is necessary” to defend international bridges between Texas and Mexico from U.S. based militia groups. The preparations by Texas law enforcement agencies are in response to recently discovered plans by militia groups to attempt closing several international bridges. The militia groups' plans are intended to be protests against the federal government's failure to secure the border between the U.S. and Mexico. The plans call for militia groups to begin blocking traffic on an undisclosed number of international bridges in the Rio Grande Valley on Sept. 20th, 2014.
“We will not allow these groups to disrupt the economic commerce of our region and we are prepared to use force to keep the bridges open,” said one law enforcement officer who spoke with Breitbart Texas on the condition of anonymity. The officer explained that the bridges are not symbols of illegal immigration, but rather, they are vital parts of the local economy. “We cannot allow them to be shut down by lawless behavior from people who claim to be promoting the rule of law.”

It’s not the bridges I’m worried about. It’s all the thousands of miles of nothing where the vast majority of them cross over.
They won’t do anything about foreign invasion but they won’t let anyone else either
The bulk if not almost all the illegals crossing the Texas border aren’t doing it via
the International Bridges. They are doing it out in the isolated areas away from the
population centers. True a few may cross or attempt to cross as stowaways but
not many. To block these crossings is nothing more than a publicity ploy, imo.
I just found this about these girls from April:
“Death is our goal”: Muslim teen girls from Austria travel to Syria for jihad
Yep. Remember when Arizona passed their SB 1070 bill? The Obama/Holder admin went nuts over them daring to do a thing to protect their state from invasion.

My thought on that was that afaik, if the agent had been expecting real Mexican trouble, he would have been armed with bean bags.
As he was not thus armed...
State law states a felon can’t use guns after a conviction and before the fifth anniversary of his or her release from prison. Federal law, though, prohibits felons from ever possessing firearms.
Records show Forester followed state laws, but is in violation of federal statutes.

Thanks for the ping!
oh yeah, let’s DEFEND from the militia.
What happened to the Country I was prepared to die for?
We do all of that already. I don’t know who these militia members are or who they report to, but they aren’t associated with any Texas-based militia groups that I know.
Yes, he is a convicted felon.

No, they actually plan to block POE’s.
What “lawless behavior”???
Ohhhhh, wait (snap)...
The militia members are illustrating the “Lawless Behavior” of the government for NOT enforcing the Law...
Ahhhhh, now I get it...I’m a little slow...
That Sherriff down there is a bit of a pill anyway...I would say with a high degree of confidence that he has been compensated by forces aligned against our rule of law...
But hey, the voters down there love the guy...He can do no wrong...How dare those gun-toting, red-neck, hillbilly wannabes question his authority!!!
Well at least the 1000 troopers will be there to hand out water during the encounter...
Its going to be a scorcher that day...Whew...
Keep everyone hydrated...Safety First!!!

Anybody know which group they belong to? Just in case they are a liberal activist group posing as militia members trying to tarnish the militia’s image...
> Now that the subject has been broached here’s another Texas story about a horse of a different color.

Fom the article:
“I have also discovered that another member of the MOA compound in Sweeny is a police officer for the nearby city of Freeport; his name is Hussein Jones”
Fake name? I’ve worked on many cases where I’ve stumbled into terrorist networks over the years and have noticed them using fake names like this. What I find funny is that they use very common American last names but use middle eastern first names. It’s pretty funny actually.
This might sound made up but the guy who told us this story claimed it was true.
He’s an EMT who was getting the toddlers information from the mother. When he was writing the toddlers name, the mother corrected him and told him he spelled the child’s name wrong so he asked her to spell it.
Ladasha, she said. That’s what he had written down, he said. No, you didn’t, she said.
That went on only for a few seconds before he handed her paper and pen and asked her to write the child’s name.
You ready for this? She wrote La-a.
