Three people of "very special interest" were detained in southern Texas after a Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was shot twice in the abdomen during a stakeout, according to local reports.
"They could be witnesses, could be participants and that's what we can say at this point," Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño told The Monitor newspaper. "We expect to make an arrest soon and things are developing very quickly."
The three detainees were taken into custody on Tuesday evening, Treviño told the newspaper.
ICE Special Agent Kelton Harrison was in stable condition at McAllen Medical Center after being shot Tuesday during an attack and chase in nearby Hargill, according to local reports.
Border Patrol: Agents fire back at drug traffickers in Mexico
Harrison was confronted when he and at least one other agent were doing surveillance in a brushy area alongside a highway, according to the newspaper.
The attack was similar to the ambush of sheriff's deputy at the hands of suspected Mexico Gulf Cartel members during an investigation into a kidnapping, the Monitor reported. While authorities would not say whether there were any ties to the cartels, one investigator told the paper that the case Harrison and the other agent were working on dealt with a group of human smugglers and drug traffickers in Hargill.
NBC affiliate KVEO in Brownsville, Texas, reported that there were two crime scenes; officials working on the case told journalists that Harrison was shot at his house and then was followed for about five miles by the suspect to a highway intersection.
Two bullet casings, probably from a 9-millimeter pistol, were found at the junction of nearby highways, The Monitor reported. FBI, ICE, local police and other officials were searching the area as Harrison's unmarked Jeep SUV -- its rear windshield and front passenger window shot through -- stood among grazing steers, the newspaper reported.
Border Patrol unveils first new strategy in 8 years
This was the second time in the past two months that an ICE agent has been shot. An off-duty agent was shot on May 10 by a gunman along a turnpike in Miami, the newspaper reported.

Both parties have had multiple chances of closing and securing the border. Neither one chooses to cut off the cheap labor for our corporations. Now that, that issue has been commented on, lets not make this a politcal arguement.
our borders are now a war zone; the agents are encountering armed illegals everyday; not all those crossing the border are just looking for work, food stamps, free medical ,negative income tax return, free education for their children; some are also criminals!
Blame the coorperations for that. No jobs, no illegals.
That previous administrations have not dealt with the border in no way excuses the fact this president has not dealt with it either.
Quit blaming others and do your damn job!!
Silly, it is a political arguement. No doubt the shooters are between 18-30 and want their green work permit card Bunny Obamq wants to give out. If your going to leave the border so porous to let illegals in so they will vote democraptic, how can you not make a political arguement?
Fast and Furious weapons used in the shooting? Remember no all the guns have been recovrered. You can only cover Bunny Obama so much, he really hasn't done anything in office, he's just a half white coke snortin black guy rippin the country off.
It's not the corporations. Anyone who knows anything about big business knows how much they are harrassed by the government to not hire illigals. They are under constant intimidation and any little so called violation can shut down production at these facilities for up to 10 days. It's everyone else, including those that have the small business's, cut yards, landscape and restaraunts that can pay cash under the table who get away with this. That is why neither government try's very hard to close the borders. You liberals don't have a clue, all you want to do is syphon the money from the companies that hire the most just because they make a profit. You, including the Clintons, started the outsourcing by taxing into the 30+% range. You did this so quit blaming the corporations.
Problem is both party's want them here. They tend to vote democrate and the Corporations lobbyist have given plenty of money to the Republicans for this steady flow of labor to drive down wages in the USA so they can keep all the money for themselves and the CEO's can live like third world dictators, who gross. Corporations were given tax incentatives to move their factories to Mexico to supposedly help the people there and thwart illegal immigration problem was they didn't want to pay the people and kept them living in cardboard huts and worked them to death. The people ended up in worse shape with the polution from the US Corporations. America should probably try to incorporate Mexico as the 51st state and enforce laws and drive the drug cartels out. Problem is we can't do that in our country now. I guess we the people have all just been screwed by them the corporations and our elected officials. thanks alot.
Can't blame the Mexican Nationals for getting upset there are agents trying to stop them. A few weeks ago the POTUS essentially threw out the welcome mat for any/all who wanted to come, and by whatever means. Just get here and we'll issue you're welcome kit and "work visa" .. "but you really don't have to work, just come in and further flood the available workers pool so we can establish a more robust welfare system and accelerate the nation's collapse so it can be 're-built'" .. wink wink (assuming progressive libs and republicans can continue to run things for another 4 years) I can understand their confusion and anger.
scott-1027093
Scott, as you note, BOTH parties, Republican AND Democrat have and continue to have opportunities to CLOSE and SECURE our borders.
Unfortunately, NO politician is willing to take it on. They're too fearful of alienating the "latino" vote. Excuse me, but what about the rest of the American vote? Oh, that's right, THEIR votes are bought with other promises of Government largesse.
Personally, I'd like to see one with enough balls to say:
"Illegals aliens to this country. You have 90 days to settle your affairs her, and then leave. Those self deporting can register and "MIGHT" be permitted reentry after all legal requirements are met. To those who do not self deport, while you might not be caught immediately, you WILL be discovered and arrested. You WILL enjoy a stay in a federal prison and on exit from said prison, you will IMMEDIATELY be deported to your place of origin. This order is for ALL Illegal aliens to this country, REGARDLESS of country of origin.
To the employers using the labors of ILLEGAL ALIENS. YOU will also be discovered and you WILL enjoy a FINE of not less than $10,000 PER DAY you are employing an ILLEGAL ALIEN. There are no more cost of doing business low dollar amount fines involved with this activity. Additionally NO FINES imposed will be deductible from taxable income."
The Mexican Narco-Terrorist favored candidate just got elected the Nuevo Presidente de Mexico....Viva la Revolución......Lookin' like Secretary of State Clinton has another "RESET" button to push for Mehico....Busy gal....she just pushed the "We're sorry" RESET button for Pokistan...
Scott your diatribe is just bunk....These agents work very hard to do their jobs on an uneven playing field. The Cartels are vicious and ruthless...the Coyotes are the same and they should be dispatched when caught....try them and impose the harshest of punishments....If they kill a border patrol agent or other law enforcement the crime should be considered a hate crime with the only sentence being death. If they make it back to Mexico we should demand they be brought back to the US to stand for their crimes and if Mexico refuses because they do not turn people over with the death penalty in play then we should declare the Government of Mexico the enemy.
They can keep their criminal culture and stop importing to America...perhaps we should make a deal....we will give the Attn Gen Holder and they will comply with turning over criminals to the USA...with the death penalty in play.
The cartels don't give a damn about Corporations or business in the United States...they wish to move product and poison our people.
Where to start with you. I was talking about securing the border. I didnt say that cartels care about the corporations. I will give you a pass on it being just a misunderstanding and not you being an idiot.
'immigration Agent' - now there's a job title that's going to disappear soon. With all the illegals being allowed to spill over and invade our country why bother?
This has gotten out of hand and must be stopped. If the U.S. government can post 28,000 armed U.S. troops in South Korea to protect their border and country why can't our government post 28,000 U.S. troops on our border to protect our country?
Luckily the White People are a Minority in Texas and Soon Democrats will take over, why listen to white minority! Kick and Scream all you want were here to stay!
GTR5. I have to admit I agree with you. But, isn't there something written somewhere when you cannot "station" American Military on American soil". ?????
This is the answer to posting our military to protect our borders. It is being done by orders from the highest offices of the land starting with Presidential Executive Orders to cabinet officials to carry out.
This is a very long read but shows that The Posse Comitatus Act does not prevent the use of regular military forces from guarding our borders but only from using them as police units against US citizens. I got my data from here:
http://www.g2mil.com/border.htm
The corporate media in the USA is extremely powerful and dumbs down all Americans. They want cheap labor pouring across US borders to drive down wages, so they invent simple phrases to confuse Americans. "We are a nation of immigrants" is a meaningless phrase used to end rational discussion about what is best for the American people. US citizens are not demanding new immigration laws; they just want the federal government to enforce existing laws. If the nation needs more immigrants, quotas can rise and those selected screened for diseases, criminal records, and motives. People who break the law by entering the US illegally, then break more laws by working illegally using false identification, do not qualify as potential good citizens.
slightlyold
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878
Prevents the use of the U.S. Army, and is recognized by the U.S. Navy, against U.S. civilians. It prevents the U.S. Military from directly arresting civilians, unless martial law or the like has been declared. Thus currently the U.S. Military can spot and provide aid (medical/food/rescue) to those crossing the border but it is left to ICE, NG, LEO and CG to intercept and detain. Now the nice thing is that the military WILL return fire and ummm TERMINATE the threat then send in MP or CID to determine what happened AFTER the fact. Of course it gets confusing if they shoot across the border and Mexico lodges a complaint.
Start charging a 50% tax on all money sent back to Mexico. Also, pass the word that killing of mexicans trying to sneak across the border will not be investigated.
I'm to the point that I don't care anymore what party is in the oval office anymore,
All I want is a president that will promise and follow through on two main issues, (If the president doesn't follow through with his election promise's he would be tried by the court system and removed from office immediately.)
1, Enforce our existing laws on immigration and deal with the immigration issue as most of the legal citizens of this one great country want. All illegal aliens sent back to where they came from within 90 days and the rest caught and imprisoned and then sent back after there sentence is served. All there kids go with them too.
2, Make English the official languish of the United States of America. All people coming to this land through "legal immigration" must be able to read, write and speak the English (official U.S. languish) languish fluently.
After all of this has been done then the U.S can go about dealing with say, healthcare (less people to care for now that all the illegals aliens are gone and cheaper too!) drugs, Guys, taxes, budgets etc etc etc.
President, PLEASE LISTEN to what the AMERICAN people want, not everyone else.
One last thing,
Any illegals that don't self deport once they (our government) start to enforce the law will be charged for any and all costs associated with there removal after the 90 day grace period to get the hill out.
Feel free to add to this list or make up your own as its the 4 Th of July, Oops they day used to mean something.. what was it again?
Anyone thinking I'm racist or whatever else, Hey its a free country.. Well sort of.
And I'm NOT a racist, just tired of the U.S being turned into a dumping ground of people who don't give a @!$%# about this country and hide behind the ACLU or whatever they want to call themselves today. Ha!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY AMERICA.
57K troops in US troops in Germany and not one along our southern border.
Let Mexico lodge all the complaints the they want and then have them explain just why it is that they do not have their military on the border stopping the stone throwers and illegals from crossing the border. Advise them, in no uncertain terms, that if they continue to refuse to honor our borders then we will do it for them. First by stopping all of the phony hundreds of millions of dollars that our government pours into that cesspool under the guise of the "war on drugs" knowing that the Drug Cartels own the Mexican government outright. Businesses here want their cheap uneducated illness riddled peons for labor and have bought enough influence in our government to the highest offices of the land by blinking an eye at the Mexican government's aiding of this unwanted, unwarranted, illegal invasion. What neither government sees fit to do, in defense of our legal citizens, will ultimatel be done by those citizens themselves as a matter of survival.
Build the fence. Bring back our military from Afghanistan. Put our military at the border. Mexico IS already a terrorist state. Terrorists are coming into the US from the Mexican border thanks to the Politicians who refuse to do anything about it. We can blame ALL parties, Reps, Dems, etc. They are all to blame, equally.
There you have it from texastakeover. There are those in this country like him or her that profess the way to get rid of the white guys is to vote for Obama and all Democrats. What is it going to take for the liberal masses to see that we are under assault from those that want nothing more than to change this country into something other than the greatest country this world has ever known. We are under attack, and the Obama Administration continues to trade a welcome mat for illegals for the votes of those that want to change this country into a mirror image of Mexico. Obama, who I voted for the first time around is the biggest ally of the illegal masses wanting to invade our country. Time to call him on it in November.
Houstonite, you are correct in that neither party has done their job when it comes to enforcing our immigation laws, but it should be perfectly clear to all of us that the biggest ally the illegals have right now is sitting in the Oval Office, when he's not campaigning, and he is a Democrat.
Yep and when you consider just where we have a military presence it gets downright scary. No wonder people around the globe hate and fear us.
Quickly, not counting Iraq where we are going to leave 50,000 so called ambassadors, or our combat troops in Afghanistan, we have 15, 000 in Kuwait for what? Saddam is long gone! 36,700 in Japan on Okinawa and they want us gone. 28,500 in South Korea which has one of the largest standing armies in the world, These represent the remnants of the UN war against North Korea until China poured over the Yalu and scared the UN alliance off. We stand alone now, for what exactly? 53,500 in Germany looking for the USSR army that never came. 10,800 in Italy for gosh sakes. 9,300 in the UK of all places I guess to guard the White Cliffs of Dover. We, the United States, currently have a military presence in 150 different countries around the world and we can not even guard our own borders from intrusion.
Actually there is no racial majority in Texas and what the Hispanics want is not neccesaritly what the Blacks want . Take for example our recent redistricting which will probably be redone after the election. The 11 Hispanic groups were satisfied with the result, the one Black group wasn't and neither was the state. For example the three borders counties nearest the gulf are in four differnent districts each about 150 to 200 miles long. Now if a republican pulled that off the democrats would be screaming about it. I live in the next county east of this incident. BTW almost all the republicans running for representative in my district except one are Hispanic. Hispanics are not neccesarily all democrat. I vote for the Hispanic of my choice in all elections no matter what party I vote for. Mostly because they are 80% of the local population and run both local parties.
Did anybody understand the artical? It was poorly written. The agent was shot at home then followed??
Our elected leaders don't give a Chihuahuas azz about our future as a country, just so long as they win the votes of the "newcommers" and get re-elected. Damn them all !
The United States of America will no longer exist very soon.
Obama isn't barring Latin American gang bangers from entering the US. That's his biggest demographic.
How could it NOT be a political issue?????
If Agents are gonna bitch and cry about getting shot then dont work as a law enforcement officer! Go effing work at MCDONADS or AT THE LOCAL TAQUERIA! Its in the JOB description suck it up
They aren't bitching about taking fire for they know that it goes with the territory. What they are bitching about and turning in their badges over is the direct orders never to return fire. Just like the turkey shoot over in the Middle East where they are picking off our people like shooting fish in a barrel. After all its better to lose a few of our people than have our enemies and get mad at us don'tcha know? Same thing with Mexico and nothing that a good old fashioned mine field would not solve except some of our own citizens(?) would get all cranked up about what a good friend and neighbor they truly are! NOT!!!
TTO....I think you should go back to Mexico...by the way...take obama with you!
Don't expect a call from Eric Holder. Tell me again why we even need border patrol agents, Ice agents or DEA? Those jobs are a waste of tax dollars. We let the illegals/cartels run wild in this country. Hell we even provide the weapons for them to kill the agents with. You gotta be an idiot to work for the border patrol/Ice. The cartels will probably file a law suit against the agent, and win. Witnesses lmao, do you really think anyone will come forward for the agent, and go up against the cartels? The cartels probably have agents on the payroll working inside, hell no I wouldn't come forward. The USA, is a lot like Mexico, corrupt.
@TexasTakeOver
STFU stupid troll.
Don't you realize that illegals will never have their way in the end? After all it is the people who determine the status of society, and clearly most of your people are only capable of creating 3rd world cesspools.
How about this, grow a pair and take care of YOUR OWN country. It wouldn't suck if most of the people there didn't suck as well.
What? These are just nice regular people looking for work and government benefits in the U.S. All the Hispanic activists will tell you. This is probably some sort of government plot to make illegals look bad.
first NBC is as usual wrong there are three crime scenes not two KRGV- ABC in Hidalgo county KVEO is in Cameron county. Tx 186 and two crossing farm roads. It is either drug or human trafficking related. They are moving illegals like cargo stacked on top of each other in vans. There is one 15 yr old that will probably be tried as an adult for 9 counts of vehicular homocide. The Hispanic DA wants to put this little gang banger away. He had 17 people in a van when he rolled it killing 9. They have busted stash houses with up to 100 people in a regular house. These poor people should stay home the cartels don't care if they die they already have the money.
We could end illegals in short order by simply creating a data base of social security numbers and requiring employers check to insure names and numbers match. For legal aliens the same data base could include who they were and their status. If they couldn't get work they've leave.
Attacks like these are just the beginning, the war with the cartels will probably be nearly as bad on this side of the border in a few years.
Now that Obama has opened the border to all illegals this kind of thing will become common. I fear we may all get our throats cut while we sleep.
Hope and Change?
LOL
I'm thinking drug related. Most people crossing do not carry firearms.
If Agents are gonna bitch and cry about getting shot then dont work as a law enforcement officer! Go effing work at WALMART or AT THE LOCAL BAR! Its in the JOB description suck it up
Shoot a couple of thousand mexicans on the border and it will stop, also stop all aid, education, medical, and all the other things the illegals get for free.
Sounds like a plan to me, Steve-2081387!
I agree Steve...shoot TTO first!
Now there's a plan!!
The right-wing plan is to get cheap labor and kill worker unions in one swoop.
With the recent activity of the drug cartels in Mexico, and some here in the states, our borders have become the most hazardous place to work as agents. Challenging illegals should be done with weapons in hand ready to fire and the first movement that is questionable open fire!! I know that sounds rather aggressive but whose life is at danger? Illegal entry is a crime, and our agents face this crap every day not knowing who is going to shoot or not. It's sad to know that other countries people don't respect our laws and feel they can do as they wish without expecting some form punishment. Jail time doesn't work so why even waste time and money. Kill them all!! Well, maybe not.
Any other country would consider a bunch of people entering their land without permission to be invading, and would kill them on sight.
If our goobermint really wanted to they could seal the border. But then the wealthy ranchers and unscrupulous businesses wouldn't have a steady supply of cheap labor. They'd have to pay Americans at least "minimum" wage. Besides, we have to get a lot of illegals here to vote for the lib's.
jerryb, didn't you mean we have to get a lot of illegals here to work cheap for the conservatives? See, I fixed you stupid mistake. What part jerryb, don't you understand, both parties want the illegals here, not just the d or the r's.
Carl,
We declared "war" on drugs. In a war I think both sides shoot to kill.
jerryb
And the conservatives put the agents in jail if they shoot the drug dealers. Pro business I guess?
http://bordercontrol.blogspot.com/2007/11/drug-smuggler-shot-by-ramos-compean.html
Please. please, please, I hope and pray the repubs. declare war on illegels.
The Cartels get guns from whereever they want that other agent that got shot by the zetas could have been shot with a gun from some white crack head that he sold tot eh cartel it stupid to think the fast and the furious guns was the only guns available to them but well u republican ****** need to kick and scream about something as long as it involves a mexican
The only kicking and screaming going on here is from texastakeover, who sounds like a racist Chicano. All I have to go on to label him that are his or her own words. There is no doubt whatsoever that the weapon that killed the border agent was one that was delivered into the hands of a Mexican drug cartel militant by the Obama Administration. You sir, are not even in the ballpark when it comes to the bravery of our border patrol agents who have been put at risk by our own government policies. And those policies are Democrat ones.
In truth what we can do depends a lot on the result of the Mexican Election last Sunday. If they get past the loser claiming fraud which they always claim. The last car bomb was 1 block from the border at Nuevo Laredo. I always wonder if the UT system runs duck and cover drills at UTB and UTEP they both have bullet holes in their walls.
To all illegals: We don't need your cheap labor and we don't need you.
Stay home and clean up Mexico.
Scott surely it couldn't have anything to do with much needed votes in Nov. could it???
meant to say, a Party issue. Our Government would sell its citizens.
Must be an election year. Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño has been in the news at least once a month for the past 3 months. The previous shooting, this shooting and the illegal immigrant family with the son who didn't shoot the propane tank.
If Agents are gonna bitch and cry about getting shot then dont work as a law enforcement officer! Go effing work at HEB or AT THE LOCAL FLEAMARKET! Its in the JOB description suck it up
texass just what does your response to my comment have to do with my comment? You have repeated your comment in various flavors at least 4 times so far.
How about YOU get a J O B that lets someone shoot at you and if you shoot back the illegals supporters are all over you for being racist for simply defending yourself and may your god forgive you if you injure or kill one of those who are shooting at you.
TTO is too busy sucking at the government teat to work!
@USA/Canuck
He's too busy pumping out kids so his family can constantly have food/medical aid for free. These same kids are raised with no manners at all, barely learn english, and will eventually turn this place into another 3rd world cesspool (Mexico)
These are families you see running around a grocery store with 8 kids running around acting like wild animals. I can't count the times i've almost had some "ethnic" kid almost slam into me because he was kicking a toy ball around the store with his 7 other siblings.
Actually Lupe Trevino already won. No opposition from the other party. Won the primary-won the election.
Yes, every 4 years its an issue, no matter what Party is doing the pandering. Reagan, Bushies, Clinton, Obama, etc. and the border is still open.
No mention whether the gun used in the crime was supplied by Eric Holder or not.
Suddenly we find more arrests, or detention for potential witnesses, as law enforcement protects our Souther Border. This is too fast and furious for me.
There is not enough information in this article to make a reasonable judgement, or even a good guess, as to what happened.
Shoot them and bury them in the desert. Next!
You got part of that right pops, but why the hell would you want to go through the process of filing an environmental impact statement so you can dump those bio-hazards in the ground? Whom do you suggest we hire to dig the holes? While your simple solution would be agreeable to many, it becomes too complicated very quickly. Just leave them lying on the surface. But, if they fall in a body of water or stream bed, dry or otherwise, at least drag the corpse up the hill a bit.
We need to declare SERIOUS war on these Mexican drug smugglers. Use our drones and special forces to clean out these rat's nests. If Mexico doesn't like it, tell them we'll quit when they clean up their own mess. They may even support our actions since these creeps are ruining their tourist trade and corrupting their police and government. We need to do the same to US rat's nests.
Bill,
It would be soooooooooo much easier to legalize pot. And it would have such better results than continuing this stupid war.
FYI a drone is flown daily from CC Naval Air Station down along the gulf looking for smugglers it turns west just above the Border and flys west. Every day. The Maryland National Guard runs helicopter surveillance from the Valley International Airport seven miles from my house. And pot has become such a small part of what is being smuggled if we did it wouldn't make a dent in the problem. Unless you also want to legalize Meth, cocaine, human trafficking, kiddie porn etc. You pot smokers just aren't that important anymore.
If the agent was first shot in his home, maybe there was some hanky-panky going on. Can you say "taking bribes"?
It helps to understand the issue if you READ the article.
Do you have confirmed and irrefutable evidence of your off handed public charges against this agent?
He was shot while on surveillance with his partner in a white SUV on a Farm Road in Texas. They crashed the SUV at the third crime scene on Tx 186 which runs East to Raymonville from the Hargill area.
FYI KRGV had reporters at each of the three crime scenes all day yesterday. If you want to get the real news on this go to KRGV.com and you can replay their news broadcasts or just read back through the articles on the website. They are also available on facebook.
It is so hot in that area that ICE agents don't wear body armor. Could that be the real issue? Let's build a dome, not a fence, and air condition the Rio Grande River corridor so our law officers can wear personal protective equipment that will keep them safe...he said, tongue in cheek. Drug gangs have brought their violence across the border, but the US government still declares the area 'as safe as Washington, DC', which isn't saying much.
Is it hotter than Iraq where the military wear body armor and last I checked their is no a/c in a military humvee
If you think that your government is taking care of your safety think again. The government instead of fixing this problem head on like we used to do things is slowly but surely ceding this territory back to Mexico. LaRaza will win this war with us and we will not even fire a shot. We have become a country of panty waists. We have been fighting wars all of these years for this? Holy Cow!

Signs in Arizona warn of smuggler dangers
Drivers advised to travel north
By Jerry Seper and Matthew Cella - The Washington Times
The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state.
The signs were posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, a major east-west corridor linking Tucson and Phoenix with San Diego.
I would not be Surprised one Bit to Find out it was Another Gun That Eric Holder Allowed to Walk in the "Fast & Furious" Scandal. That News would have to be Leaked though & You Probably wouldn't hear about it From ABC,CBS,or NBC News or Any of the Libtard News Papers.
Jerry, you mean that only faux noise is correct with the news? Man, you are one sick puppy if you believe that manure floating out from faux.
The Facts are that The Libtard Media Does not report anything that King Obama does not want them to report & If they Do it is Minimal at best
Jerry,
Where do you get your talking points? I keep seeing so many posts claiming Obama to be our "king, our messiah, our idol, etc.". Liberals do not need kings or messiahs or idols. We are capable of thinking for ourselves, unlike you reichwingers who seem to need Hitlers or Limburghers or Fox to tell us how to think.
I just wonder who thought up that angle of attack. The use of such terms has a purpose, but I'm here to tell you it ain't working. All it does is show the intelligence level of the poster..........which is that of someone who really needs a king or a messiah since they have not the ability to deal with life on their own.
Fast and Furious or Wide Receiver, both one in the same. One party Fand F, one party W R. When the people start to recognize thats its us against them (government) things will change. The government uses the oldest tactic in war, "Divide and Conquer". Remember in the movie, Braveheart, where the king wanted to give the wealthy more land, and the wealthy were willing to take it at the expense of their own people. Damn, we have such stupid citizens. Swamp people and Desperate Housewife viewers.
Fast and Serious!!!!! Jebediajh RIghts!!!!!! KoMMMie LEFT WINg PInko Marxist!!!!!! BIrf Cerfiticate LONG FORM!!!!! HAYKORN HAYKON HAYKORN !!!!!!! BILLL AIRS!!!!! KENYAN!!!! MOOOSLEM!!!! MOOOSLM FAST and SUprious!!!!
Plotinus: With All the Policies Obama wants enact, the Only thing Obama Needs is the Funny little Mustache & he'd look Just like Hitler since he wants to Control everything. Just because You Liberals want Government Control over every aspect of your Lives, that Doesn't mean the Rest of the World does. Back to the Topic, This President has NO Interest in Securing Our Borders as He Sees Potential Voters coming across,Rather than Criminals & Potential terrorists. I wouldn't be Surprised if this Guy would Direct Homeland Security to Replace the Department of Immigration & Naturalization & Put the T.S.A in Charge of Securing Our Borders. I Just hope they Remember to Plug in the Metal Detector........
We voted him in Jerry, so if we don't like his policies, he needs to be voted out but then again he doesn't have much competition....
Artie-1928387
Actually he has lost the Black vote, is losing the youth vote, and the Latinos realize he is only pandering to them. This election, like the last, comes down to the lessor of two evils. Lets see who gets the veep roles this roll of the dice.
Are you saying all the guns in Mexico were part of Fast and Furious or are you just out of things to say
Or it crossed in operation Crossbow or the other operation Ricochet I think all of them lost the guns. if this was baseball I'd say three strikes you're out. Biggest arms dealers in the world ATF.Its funny we can get all the information on a GAO party that didn't kill anyone and can't get anything on three failed operations one of which we know killed an American and may have killed another Jaime Zapata.
An open-borders policy would put an end to this sort of thing.

Right and move it into the interior of the US !
Are you totally insane or maybe from Canada !
If Agents are gonna bitch and cry about getting shot then dont work as a law enforcement officer! Go effing work somewhere were there is no danger of ur azz gettin shot up
And until we get people in our Federal Government to pay attention end enforce our immigration laws, this will continue.
Business as usual along the border, seems this happens a lot of times and probably only 10% of the incidents make the national news, usually a death or multiple deaths, but stuff like this is a daily occurance along the border. Yes something needs to be done and it's going to take some cooperation between political parties to get the job done, right now it's all along party lines and states a thousand miles from the border are complaining about the illegals and still nothing gets done. 16 million illegals and counting, and 16 million is more than the populations of a lot of states. Something needs to be done and we need to pressure our states and national governments to get off their duffs and get the job done. But no politician has the nerve to do it, doesn't say much for our politicians does it. Boehner and congress could practice what they preach and put a bill before the president and if he vetos it, then he's lost a lot of votes, but they do nothing but gripe and complain. They can't understand that the voters want some positive actions and not just a little lip service to our problems. If the republicans would come out on the side of closing the border and Obama vetoed the bill, I'd switch my vote in a heartbeat, but voluntary deportment just doesn't cut it.
Nah you don't hear about the dead bodies in the ditches. Thats just local news. You don't hear about the kidnapping we aren't sure why it happened just yet the victim just escaped and it was overshadowed by this with the feds, BP ICE and three local law enforcement groups investigating. We just get Johnney Hernandez DPS giving a statement about something happened. You don't hear about the running gun battle along the border with the smugglers thats local news too. It did happen three days after Janet Napolitano told us the Texas Border was safe. Yeah we believe that too.
Maybe our politician would have an entirely different perspective on the issue if they had to stand guard on the border. Time to get them out of Washington and have them walk the talk.
The border agents work in a very dangerous environment and their lives are at risk everyday.Now these agents are told to "run and hide" if someone shoots at them,and only use their weapon as a last resort !! The sickness and insanity of political correctness,is so twisted that it's putting the lives of these agents in jeopardy,who may as well hold up a sign saying..."shoot at me I won't shoot back" It's unbelievable that these agents can't "stand there ground" but now have to run and hide. I for one is sick of all this insane liberal PC,... lets get our country back,before it's late.
brasstacs, you're a total fool. There are no directives of any kind, anywhere that prohibit our agents from using force in an 'active shooter' incident, which is what I believe you are alluding to. A recent posting on the web site of the Arizona Border Patrol Union Local 2544 (http://www.local2544.org/) on June 20, 2012; which declares that they 'are now taught in an "Active Shooter" course.... to run and hide.
It is purely, a total and absolute BS article and they should be ashamed, and laughed out of the state for posting such crap. Read their article, research the facts and you will find that they are talking about a tri-fold pamphlet hand out (or other quoted word-for-word) informational postings intended to suggest what actions a civilian, 'John and Jane Q Public' might want to take if they find themselves in a incident involving an 'active shooter' ala Ft. Hood, Giffords, Cafe Racer in Seattle.... It is not a directive, it is not an order, it is nothing that implies they will be reprimanded, punished nor prosecuted. Why does a union, representing our agents, post outright lies, deceptive and fabricated information purporting to be from our DHS? What is their agenda? Google "what to do in an 'active shooter' situation?" Learn for yourself what to do. An armed officer would stand his ground, evalute and react as best he could given the circumstances and, most, if not all of them, (as would many lawfully armed and educated civilians) immediately close on the shooter to disrupt his assault. You are absolutely right that 'we need to get our country back', unfortunately, insurrection against our government, by the people, will be met with military force.
Tom lesson on how the Rio Grande is enforced. If an illegal is seen swimming towards the US the border patrol boat pulls up and waits while said alien turns around and swims home. If he gets in trouble then they move in and play lifeguard. In brush country in the middle of Texas nowhere there are poles with push buttons. These are there for lost illegal aliens to push the button, sit down and wait and the BP will come rescue them. They were nice enough to say when they updated the system that lost hunters were also allowed to use them. this is your border security system in operation. Now as to the "fence" The dang thing stops at the edge of town. it doesn't have the gates installed and you could drive a herd of elephants through it. What is more they plan alpha/numeric keypad locks for the gates. I will bet you $5 when installed it will be easier to get the code in the Juarez market than from the agency you work with.
This is so disgusting. The American people do NOTHING about this. What a sickening place and society. Makes you proud to be American on this 4th of July,....doesn't it. Just disgusting.
So which of Holder's guns did the perps use?
Or was it a Wide Reciever Gun? Governement has you taking a side. They win, idiot.
As The Invasion of The United States via The Wide Open Mexican Border marches on ....
Press 1 for Spanish .....
I always press 1 for spanish especially here in texas puto
Thats because you can't count any higher texastakeout
@TexasTakeOver
If enough of you people manage to invade Texas, it will just turn into another 3rd world cesspool. It doesn't matter where you go, the people create the society, and your people create nothing but sh*t.
And I dare you to go out in the country and talk to some good old white boys like that, you'll probably get your little azz whooped, and maybe even be decorating someones tree.
