If you believe that, as one writer put it today, “failure is planning,” a new report will not surprise you. It warns that the violence witnessed in South Africa and Mexico, and which has reached the United States, could get even worse. After all, the federal government and many state governments favor illegal immigrants over citizens while coddling criminals and oppressing cops and good citizens. Moreover, the criminals, many of whom are reportedly illegal immigrants, are going high tech.
As in South Africa and Mexico, they use “signal jamming devices” to prevent victims from calling the police for help.
Introducing the story, commentator Olivia Murray wrote, “The epicenter of this story of anarcho-tyranny, a dysfunctional stage of government in which the state can 'ruthlessly' legislate and punish minor matters but is hopelessly incapable of fulfilling actual obligations and guaranteeing inalienable rights, is the old (southern) border, virtually obliterated by the Biden-Harris administration and its progressive Democratic cronies eager to stoke dystopian fears, where cartel members are now using 'signal jamming devices' to disrupt communications and thwart any response from law enforcement while carrying out their criminal acts.”
Not a penny ante operator
According to USA Today, the cartel is a multi-billion dollar operation boasting military-grade weaponry such as belt-fed Gatling guns, drone bombs, land mines, and even the FGM148 Javelin infrared-guided missile launcher, which can destroy tanks and low-flying helicopters.
In relation to this and the signal jamming device story, Murray points to this tweet from American Tribune co-founder Will Tanner:
Assuming that the individuals mentioned above are indeed members of the cartel (there is no information to the contrary), it is worth noting that looking at their equipment, it appears to be professional military.
Murray then paints a scenario: “Imagine you're an American rancher with land along the border who is under attack by members of a drug cartel, with their property and the lives of their family in danger, and no way to call for help because the sicarios are using signal jamming devices,” she writes. “Instead, you're completely alone, in the exact same situation as the white South African farmers who were raped, beaten and killed by ruthless criminals. (I've written about the signal jamming devices used in South African raids here, and in more detail about the whole situation here and here.)
Similar events have already occurred south of the border, including the now legendary case of 77-year-old rancher Alejo Garza Tamez, who in 2010 refused to give in to gangs from the Los Zetas cartel who demanded he cede his land, and instead defended it singlehandedly, like the Alamo: he killed four thugs and wounded two before finally falling victim to a bullet himself (see video below).
Not an isolated incident
Murray also points to recent stories along similar lines, such as one from last year when Breitbart ran the headline “Shocking Photos: Mexican Border Town Ranch Turned into Drug Cartel Killing Ground.”
The Gulf Cartel has “forcibly” taken land from owners in the Mexican border city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, the site said, and activist groups have uncovered 16 mass graves in Reynosa alone that they blame on the cartel.
Below are the headlines and subheadings from the New York Times in February.
“A family ranch engulfed in border madness. Desperate migrants. Drug cartel violence. It's all happening in the Chilton family's backyard.”
Please note that the above is for the United States.
A few more headings:
“'I've never seen this level before': Texas rancher forced to defend home as migrants invade property: 'They come to our house in the middle of the night'…”
“Texas ranchers say their land is at the mercy of the cartels.”
“'It's War': Texas Ranchers Form Their Own Border Militia.”
This isn't just a border issue: As mentioned earlier, and as ABC 7 reported in December, “South American gangs are using security jamming devices to infiltrate luxury homes across the country, including in metro Detroit.”
“Police said they were highly functional and well trained,” it added.
And MS-13, a violent Salvadoran gang, now has a strong presence in suburban Long Island, New York, where they're killing people.
Thank you immigration experts
Open borders are to blame for these problems, of course, but open minds – minds so open they're brainless – are also to blame.
That is, 85 to 90 percent of immigrants who have entered legally since 1967 have come from the Third World. But was it ever a good idea to accept large numbers of poor people from dysfunctional, crime-ridden countries? Shouldn't immigration, so long as it is permitted, be beneficial and beneficial to both the host country and the newcomers?
Or should America become the world's soup kitchen and international housing project?
(Or, perhaps, immigration is a “voter project”?)
Of course, exposure to bandits from south of the border is not unprecedented: More than a century ago, Mexican guerrilla and criminal Pancho Villa assassinated Americans and in 1916 attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico. The response was not a warning about tolerance or an assurance that “our strength lies in our diversity.”
Instead, a U.S. Army expeditionary force led by General John Pershing was ordered to enter Mexico and pursue Villa, and although they ultimately failed to find him, they killed 190 of his men, including his lieutenant, and made a public announcement.
But that was a long time ago. Today, we worry about the integrity of Ukraine's borders and spend billions of dollars fighting a proxy war with Russia that is inching closer to nuclear war. But what is the bigger threat?
Is Russia plotting an invasion of our southern border? Or is it the work of enemies closer to home, including our own enemies?
