Clear example of drug cartel violence "spilling over" from Mexico into Houston, 300 miles from the border. Why is this not highlighted on national news?

The Federal Government continues to fail at its primary duty to protect America. The implications are clear.

According to Janet Napolitano the border is safer than ever. No worries.

"We are not going to tolerate these types of thugs out there using their weapons like the Wild, Wild West," said Javier Pena, the new head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Houston Division. "We are going after them."

And that is why all four suspects are still alive./s

The sad part of this is that the Obama Administration is on the side of the Zetas and they know it.

Some people want a moat full of alligators on the border, Obama said. No, we want an administration that takes the side of the American people against drug dealers and violent criminals.

If they can get truckloads of pot across the border they can get nukes across the border.

re brazen attack over 300# of pot/executing an informant

Perhaps LE should get a clue. This wasn’t about drugs, it was about who owns the ground. Clearly the Mexicans believe they own it now. Odd isn’t it that the Zetas appeared out of thin air. Guess the thin-skinned line wasn’t paying attention. Until the fed gets w/ the program this sort of event will continue to occur and escalate.

Texas DPS fight with Cartels

Rick Perry implemented this team. I realize he doesn't have that many fans here, but watch how these cartels get chased into the river and back to Mexico.

Once they hit the water, they are on sovereign territory and our guys have to stand and watch. Sickening.

We're in yet another undeclared war.

We are invaded and attacked.

The government doesn't care. The Cabinet doesn't care. Obama doesn't care. Both houses of Congress don't care. The media doesn't care. The pundits and National Committees of both parties don't care. The legal profession from the Supreme Court down through Holder and the various Bar Associations don't care. Academia doesn't care. Big business and big unions don't care. Big Religion and Big Foundations don't care. Wall Street and the Wall Street Occupiers don't care. Our perfumed high-brass military and Jerk Chiefs of Staff don't care.

The nobody casualties of these undeclared wars would care, but they're dead.

“U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said Thursday that security on the southern U.S. border “is better now than it ever has been” and that violence from neighboring Mexico hasn’t spilled over in a serious way.”

The Congress shall have Power ... To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

Methinks this applies.

I wonder which of our Constitutional rights they will decide to further trample in the name of this latest escalation of their failed war on drugs.

This would seem to be the “If it bleeds it leads” story. What not now? Where is the lamestream media?
