..... I have family over there especially in this little town. And as of now it's controlled by what they call 'Los Zetas' and man they are the worst. Once zetas are in your area it's the plague, my family says that the town they're is in their control. And when I say control I mean, they find out what stores make money, or what family has money and how they make it or where they get it. And then they charge rent (Like the OP said; they go to people's homes/stores and make people give them 'rent' for living in their own home (or what they sell they can only sell that, they can't sell anything else) if they don't; they kidnap/kill them. This is so very true).

.....

They will get you, and torture you (someone that owed them (drug-dealers) money, kidnapped the man and put him in a those big metal bins with hot boiling oil and fried him alive basically) and if you're lucky they kill you quickly.

And on a note, there are some zetas already on this side of the border, especially in one of Texas' big cities, and that is bad news.

.....

The "Zeta's" are a product of the Texas prison system and are very real. They are hired by and intimately tied to the northern Mexico drug cartels; doing work for them on both sides of the border.

Based on your lack of knowledge of these simple facts and your inability to answer previous posts questions, your credability is less then zero...IMO.

She didn't have the cash and the people who broke in told her if she didn't have it by the next day, to expect her and her kids shot. She had to sell her tv and dining set to get the cash. The guys who broke in were no more than 16-17, fully-automatic weapons, and they were going house to house to either get the money or make threats."

I am sorry, but I very much doubt this piece of anecdotal evidence. Would you put up with this if you lived on this street? You are telling me they walked down the block going house to house at 2am and no one bothered to call the police or shoot them instead? They all just handed over $250?

The very same thing happens in the United States of America today, in most major cities!

I am surprised that you never heard of it, it is called a 'protection racket".

Years ago a group called La Cosa Nostra did it in major US cities.

Now it is the Russian Mob, or Young Black Mafia....Whoever.

BTW, all these places had and still have police presence.
I guess the police have failed to ever eradicate the problem, it still goes on today.

It makes you wonder why the US government is just letting this happen

Obama is allowing it to happen because many of those illegal Mexicans might some day become a Democrat vote. Thats why the Dems are not fighting it too hard

the zetas are not a product of the texas prison system, they are ex mexico military.

I am just going to say please please be careful. I wish you all the higest light of protection.

Trust but carry a big gun ok?

your news in the US is controlled. eventually it will hit the news when the carpet its under gets too small. Then, when it does...it will be political spin orientated and in no way 'enlightening' to viewers.

good luck - keep your head down and your camera on....

You said its like the wild west again. The sad thing is if this was the wild west something would have been done about it by just a few honorable men. Now they call them vigilantes and its a crime. such a backwards world we live in.

The us government and the msm are jokes.Its time we the people take back this country.Our government is paid by our taxes, for them to let this go on and not do anything should be a crimeI say to the people on the border its time to arm yourselves and start killing these criminals crossing the border.Because the government cant be relied on for anything anymore.It really pisses me off whats going on in this country.My heart goes out to all the people down there who are living in fear.

Two points:

1-the purpose of a militia is to protect one's fellow citizens against oppressive, abusive or otherwise attacking forces, including thugs who claim they're from the government (issues of jurisdiction apply fully); A militia consists of able bodied men who are armed and willing to protect their neighbors when the cops are either bought off or too pussified to take any stand in support of those fellow citizens being attacked. The solution on the border is spelled: MILITIA. The eventual solution for the rest of the country (blue states not included) is spelled: MILITIA. (the blue states are lost anyway; they, for the most part, are completely infiltrated with a bureaucratic nanny state, politically correct mentality which will preclude their taking any stand for their own freedom, security, and protection. )

2-any city that designates itself a "sanctuary" for illegals deserves everything it gets; unfortunately, some decent people will be too stupid or hypnotized to move away soon enough. (Think deer in the headlights).
