McALLEN -- Recent U.S. efforts to disrupt drug smuggling routes through the Rio Grande Valley have prompted threats of retaliation against authorities on this side of the river, according to an FBI intelligence report.
Vowing to maintain control over valuable trafficking corridors such as those in Reynosa, Matamoros and Miguel Alemán, the Gulf Cartel and its paramilitary enforcement wing, Los Zetas, have begun stockpiling weapons, reaching out to Texas gangs and issuing orders to "confront U.S. law enforcement agencies to zealously protect their criminal interests," the report states.

If the Mexican gangs want to have a war on our soil, they might not like all of us who are armed, killing all of them.

I soldiered with a bunch of Texans for two years during WWII. They were not folks to mess with when they get pissed. If they put up with this crap from the Mexican gangs I will really be surprised.
