The US/Mexico Border: More Dangerous than Afghanistan and Iraq (combined)
….despite Janet Napoliatano declaring that our southern border with the failed narco-state of Mexico is “open for business.”
Of course she made that claim from 1725-miles away in Washington D.C. where the safety of distance (and the Capitol Police) make such asinine statements much easier to make. Perhaps Janet Nap would like to defy the DPS warning and spend her holiday weekend in Nuevo Laredo….or hell, we’ll make it easier (but only marginally safer) for her…she can spend her holiday across the border in Laredo, TX. Without her security detail. Just her, wandering the streets of our totally safe border towns.
Ok…she can bring Obama with her, too. But no Secret Service. I mean, if the border towns are safe enough for US. Citizens to be unconcerned about, surely they’re safe enough for Naphead and BHO, right?
Though the alert does beg the question: Why would you go to Mexico to celebrate America’s Independence Day anyway?
LAREDO, Texas — Texas authorities are urging U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to a Mexican border town this July Fourth weekend saying tourists may become drug-cartel crime victims.
The Texas Department of Public Safety and Webb County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday issued a travel advisory that says the Zetas drug cartel plans to target Americans who visit Nuevo Laredo and its surrounding Mexican suburbs this holiday weekend.
DPS Director Steven C. McCraw says according to information they’ve received, the crime spree may include robberies, extortions and car-jackings aimed at U.S. citizens.
Although officials say there is no indication the cartel-related activities will occur in Texas, the DPS and local authorities insist they’re prepared should anything cross into the state.

I don’t do Mexico at all, but if I were ever to go there it certainly would not be on Independence Day weekend.
Janet Incompetano ignores the truth, so the DPS warning isn’t even on her radar screen.
The dangers INSIDE the U.S. boundaries are enough for our ‘over-protective’ government to post warnings of drug and human smugglers in national parks such as Sonoran Desert National Monument, Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and Coronado National Forest.
I guess the signs are their best effort at protecting the general public. Of course, those same signs are proof of their awareness of life threatening dangers from Mexico.
We travel frequently to Laredo but never ever cross the border. When we do I am packing my G30 and 2 spare mags.
I don’t think you do, because if caught you’d be arrested in a nanosecond.
I wouldn’t even think of going to Mexico now, anywhere in Mexico, and I’d hate to live along the border.
