Thanks to the border having been de-defended by Democrats and the Mexican government being ineffectual, the border is a war zone — complete with IEDs:
Rancher Antonio Céspedes Saldierna, 74, who worked on both sides of the border, along with Horacio Lopez Peña, were killed in the blast in Tamaulipas, Mexico, which was just south of Brownsville, Texas. Lopez’s wife, Ninfa Griselda Ortega, was hospitalized with injuries.
Saldierna was a US citizen.
Given that the drug cartels suspected of planting the IED have no more respect for the border than Democrats do, this blood could easily have been shed north of the border. To the extent the cartels are effectively the government in northern Mexico, it would be an act of war.
Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham spoke with the Daily Signal:
The Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Military Department have, in recent years, discovered “caches of weapons, including IEDs,” on a small Texas island in the Rio Grande, Buckingham said.
“Unfortunately, extreme violence, including the use of IEDs, has become more common over the last few years as cartels were emboldened by weak leadership in Washington, D.C.,” according to Buckingham.
Due to the media’s collusion, it will take a while to discover just how out of control Democrats let things go. It will take longer still to set the situation back to rights against their resistance.
