21 People Killed in Cartel Gun Battle Near U.S-Mexico Border….

According to multiple media report U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr was already planning a visit to Mexico prior to a massive cartel gun battle near the U.S. border that has left 21 people dead. .

MEXICO – More than a dozen armored trucks filled with Los Zetas cartel gunmen rolled into a small rural town in the border state of Coahuila. The gunmen spread terror as they attacked the city hall building. The incursion turned into a fierce shootout and several chases where at least 14 cartel gunmen, three civilians, and four police officers died. Preliminary reports point to six additional people sustaining gunshot injuries.

The violence began on Saturday morning. More than a dozen armored trucks, some with machine guns mounted on top, left the border city of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas driving towards the state of Coahuila. The gunmen are members of a faction of Los Zetas called Cartel Del Noreste.

Once in the town, the gunmen drove to the plaza square where they fired several machine guns at the city hall building in a brazen attack that spread terror among local residents. During their attack, several municipal police officers from Villa Union tried to fight off the attackers, however, the gunmen pushed them back and torched several police vehicles.

Authorities called for help leading to a massive deployment of state police officers from various units, and municipal police officers from Piedras Negras, Allende, and several other municipalities who rushed to the scene and clashed with the dozens of Los Zetas gunmen. The cartel gunmen wore body armor and tactical vest emblazoned with the CDN-Los Zetas logo. The armored vehicles that the cartel gunmen used also had similar decals identifying them as members of CDN-Los Zetas. (source)

This is getting worse and worse!

For those of you who don’t think the situation along our southern border is any big deal, think again. We now have confirmed reports that Border Patrol Agents along the Texas side of the Rio Grande river were fired upon. The belief is that these shots came from a member or members of the Mexican drug cartels.

Folks, this is simply the next stage in the planned disintegration of our borders by the wonderful community organizer in chief Obama. Listen to a description of these events as related by Representative Louie Gohmert (Rep, TX) to Fox News:

“US Border Patrol agents on the American side of the Rio Grande were forced to take cover Friday night when high-caliber weaponry was fired at them from the Mexican side of the river, sources told FoxNews.com. The weapons were fired at the US side of the riverbank in the area of the Rincon Peninsula across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico, at about 8:30pm, sources said. Bullets ricocheted into an area where Border Patrol Agents were positioned, Rep, Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told FoxNews.com.

‘We don’t have any armor that can stop a .50-caliber round, so our Border Patrol Agents had to take cover when the rounds were ricocheting around them,’ said Gohmert, who has been in the area for the last week to get a first-hand look at the border situation. Sources said they believe the gunfire came from members of Mexican drug cartels, which include former military members trained in shooting that type of weaponry.”

Simply the next phase in the war against our border. The influx of illegal immigrants continues to overwhelm our agents and facilities, which is leading the cartels to operate with more and more impunity. They know we are actually having to pull agents off active duty in order to play babysitter at the detention and processing centers. This lessens the amount of effort and attention we can continue directing at the even more dangerous Mexicans, including actual drug runners.

You have probably seen my earlier reports on how many cartel drug smugglers are literally walking over the low mountains along our Mexican border, carrying backpacks weighing 50+ pounds, filled with illegal drugs. This trend continues…and now it looks as if the cartels are beginning to step up their game even further.

Personally, this looks to me like they are trying to test our positions. This is designed to find out how strongly we are defending the borders along several key points (it could also be done to serve as a distraction for other cartel members to cross the border). If Obama allows this to continue and our Congress also takes no action to at least try and put a stop to the current situation, it will soon degenerate to the point where it will take armed troops to re-establish control, much like a military invasion, for that is really what this is.

What do YOU think? Should we be tolerating Mexican cartels firing at our agents? How can this situation be fixed? If we had a president who was actually a leader, what would he do? Is Governor Rick Perry right for taking action on his own?
