In the past few days, Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department deputies and their families have received threats to stay off the Rio Grande. Sheriff Arvin West told ABC-7 Thursday morning, before departing for Houston that the Mexican military is behind all of this.
Sheriff West said, "There is no doubt in my mind -- from the first time going back to a couple of years ago and every time in between --- it's the Mexican military. In a nutshell, everybody's been trying to tell everybody that they were here...they've been here ...[and] they come here quite often, regularly."

Americans are being THREATENED on American Soil...by a Narco-Terrorist Government...and Jorge Arbusto is HELL-BENT on pushing thru Shamnesty for MILLIONS of Illegal Infiltrators as a REWARD?!?!
Damn, that "Tree of Liberty" is MIGHTY Parched...
And then what. The cartels will just put their own armies together. Build a wall, a fence or a wide ass trench, drugs will still find a way accross. If not by desert than an end run through the gulf. We have such a great economy hardly anyone mows their own grass anymore or trims their hedges or weed their flower gardens. And we still have plenty of money to bankroll the drug cartels.
¡Y le jode también!
Forwarded this (with comments) to Bill Nelson (I know, I know), Mel Martinez and Jeb Bush.
Jeb I KNOW reads his email.
Mel's minions read his and who knows about Bill.
But, it's better than sitting back and doing nothing.
Many parts of Los Angeles look like Mexico, and you're right, those places are not safe for anyone. Yet our "leaders" remain silent.
The Mexicans never controlled Texas and only had a tenuous legal claim to it for a period of 18 years.
The Comanche Indians controlled most of the territory which is now Texas. During and prior to the Texas War for Independence there were only a few thosand Mexican residents in Texas. They and the Spanish before them were quickly wiped out by the Comanches anytime they tried to invade what the Comanches thought of as their territory.
In the meantime, it has been Texas and the U.S. since 1836. That is 170 years compared to the Mexican claims for 18 years.

Thanks for the link!
When you're in a hole you should really stop digging.
"This brings up an interesting question... Let's say that the governor of a state calls up the national guard to patrol a border that happens to be a border with a foreign country. Constitutionally, that's the federal government's job, and a state official does not have the authority to do something like that. More importantly, what would happen when the federal government decides that they like the status quo better, and overrides the governor by federalizing the guard..."
When the state and feds take no action to protect citizens, the locals have to do it. The sheriff can deputize folks.
He can't forcibly deputize, but he can take volunteers. A sheriff is the king of his domain/county for law enforcement. The Feds run into all sorts of posse comitatus restrictions. The State can do alot too, but normally not unless it's a declared emergency because they dont want to spend the money. Defending citizens and property from threats greater than the individual sheriffs resources open up a legitimate right to deputize. As long as individual/civil rights/property rights are not trampled on it's legitimate and the Feds can try to stop it, but there is tremendous precedent on the local official's side.
He can do it and bill DHS/State of Texas afterwards, especially if they do not respond to his requests for assistance.
If I were him, I would put up a tent city for a jail.
I would love to see a drug cartel put an army together against US Marines.
Their asses would be handed to them so fast it would make FOX's head spin.
This is about National Security, it's not about some jackass getting his hedges trimmed.
Ben, Ben, Ben...
Illegality is illegality. Criminality is criminality. Either we become a lawless society or we decide as higher life forms to live within the law.
My apologies if this is a duplicate ping...
KFOX out of El Paso got these clowns on tape today, the cat's out of the bag.
How far's it gonna run...?
come on this is no big deal, in fact we should allow them to do this just in case we can get a few more hispanic votes!!
I think ALL the illegals have migrated to New Orleans for the time being. All one has to do is keep a eye out when their shopping at wally world in my town. Groups of 10-15 are filling baskets.
WHY are we standing for this, well, this hijinx? I can't believe our administration is standing by. Of course, it took moving earth and heaven to get Mexico to even commit to live up to the 1940s era treaty that allocates Rio Grande Water to downstream U.S. farmers. From a satellite, Northern Chihuahua looked like a garden of eden that ended abruptly at about Del Rio when it began to look like a desert.......
Time for GW to step up to the plate.
