Federalist-
Earlier this week, suspected Mexican drug cartel gunmen fired on U.S. Border Patrol agents in Texas, who fired back. This took place on a strip of land in the middle of the Rio Grande called Fronton Island, also known as “Cartel Island” because it was previously used as a staging area for cartel smuggling operations. Texas authorities took over the island as part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star and declared it Texas territory in November 2023.
The incident illustrates why it’s time to start treating Mexico as a hostile foreign power that represents a direct threat to the American homeland — not just for the way the Mexican state has facilitated and encouraged illegal immigration, but also because it has allowed the cartels to take control of vast swaths of Mexican territory, infiltrate the Mexican government at the highest levels, and carry out sophisticated operations on both sides of the Rio Grande. more here
Been past time. And set Puerto Rico adrift.
The next time the cartel fires on Border Patrol, they should get a visit from an Apache Attack helicopter or an A-10 Warthog.
Been saying it since the 1980’s.
God has been testing my patience…frequently.
Must be okay tho no lighting bolts.
Should probably treat California the same
“Should probably treat California the same”
I’m gonna need to choke your little ass out aren’t I
The Cartels are an enemy within our borders, and definitely a heavily armed and well funded terrorist organization based in Mexico.
Trouble brewing, as Gary Larson would say.

I’m pals with our NorCal Sheriff. A rather rural community. Very conservative. We talk monthly. His main concern for for safety of the citizens in our county has always been the Cartels. We lost a deputy about ten years ago at the hands of the Cartel. He doesn’t get much help from the state. Some from the feds. I expect that to change with Trump at the helm.
refuse/resist:
The A-10 deployment was exactly my thought as well. And the woke morons infesting our military (and much of our Congress) want to retire it!
It’s Time To Start Treating New Mexico Like A Hostile Foreign Power.
There, fixed it for ‘ya.
