Translation:  The Obama administration has all but ceded Ft. Hancock, Texas as well to Mexico.  No American citizen should be forced to live this way.  These people cannot afford to close both eyes when they retire for the night.  They are forced to arm themselves not simply because they have the right to but to protect themselves from the slime and negative elements crossing the border of Mexico into our homeland.  H/t to my friend Steve who is always on point and equally on time.

The citizens for Ft. Hancock are at the ready 24/7 to defend their homes, their families, their livelihoods, their land and their lives.  The citizens of Ft. Hancock, Texas are Americans and Americans deserve better but the federal government REFUSES to do its job.

Of course, the government would gladly give you a welfare check in a New York minute as long as you kowtow to their master regime but to do its job, secure our borders and protect the homes and lives of innocent, honest and hard-working, Americans, no it is simply not on their agenda.

Barack Obama wants to fight the state of Arizona and overturn SB1070.  Barack Obama if given the opportunity would send buses to Mexico to drive illegal immigrants across the border to the United States, throw a parade in their honor and Barack Obama would force us to pick up the tab by raising our taxes.

Just who is Barack Obama representing? Not me? Not you? Not the citizens of Arizona and not the citizens of Ft. Hancock, Texas.

This is total madness.  Stand with Arizona.  Spread the word.  Support the good people of Ft. Hancock, Texas, Arizona and those living along the Mexico-U.S. border.  We are Americans and Americans are in trouble.  SPREAD THE WORD.

There is a war going on in America on the Southern Border and Americans need our help.  Please STAND UP AMERICA.

Sheriff To Texas Border Town: ‘Arm Yourselves’

“…Last week, residents held a town-hall meeting in Fort Hancock, Texas — a sleepy agricultural town on the border, about an hour southeast of El Paso, that looks like the bleak set of No Country for Old Men.

A couple hundred people crowded into the grade-school gym to hear a chilling message from Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West.

‘You farmers, I’m telling you right now, arm yourselves,’ he said. ‘As they say the old story is, it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by six. Damn it, I don’t want to see six people carrying you.’

You farmers, I’m telling you right now, arm yourselves. As they say the old story is, it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by six. Damn it, I don’t want to see six people carrying you.

– Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West

His warning was prompted by the killing of the Arizona rancher, and the spiraling violence a couple of miles away in Mexico in a region known as the Valley of Juarez. The notorious smuggling territory is being fought over by the Sinaloa and the Juarez cartels.

‘One of the men that works for me had five people killed in front of his house over there [in Mexico] this past weekend,’ says Curtis Carr, who is a farmer and county commissioner. ‘And he’s moving his family over here this week. It’s serious over there. Whether or not it’s gonna spill over here, I don’t know.’

Nobody knows.

‘They Poked His Eyes Out‘

The sheriff warned citizens to be alert and report strange vehicles on their streets. But at the same time, he said, don’t succumb to fear.

‘We haven’t had anybody kidnapped here yet, but it could come,’ he said. ‘We haven’t had anybody killed here, but that could come.’

The violence in the Juarez Valley directly affects this little Texas town.

A couple of weeks ago, gunmen in the Juarez Valley killed the Mexican relative of a Fort Hancock high school student. When the student’s family in Fort Hancock heard about it, they crossed the border at 10 a.m. to see the body, and took the student with them.

‘By 10:30, they had stabbed the relatives that went with him, which included his grandparents, with an ice pick,’ says school superintendent Jose Franco. ‘My understanding is that the gentleman is like 90 years old, and they poked his eyes out with an ice pick. I believe those people are still in intensive care here in a hospital in the U.S.’

Franco says the boy has isolated himself from other students so they won’t ask him about the gruesome attack that he witnessed.

Tactics To Drive Out Rivals: Arson, Murder

The Valley of Juarez has a long history of human and drug trafficking. There’s lots of open farmland for illicit activity. It’s close to the city of Juarez, a major smuggling point. It’s right across from Texas, with Interstate 10 only a few miles to the north.

And the river, the Rio Grande, is no deterrent.

Veteran Border Patrol agent Joe Romero stands on a levee overlooking the international river — which this time of year is but a trickle.

‘You can literally walk across the river — and some times of the year not even get wet,’ he says. ‘And with the ease with which you can literally cross the border here from one side to the other, this made it very lucrative and appealing to anybody trying to smuggle in whatever contraband they had.’

In recent years, the Department of Homeland Security has put up 44 miles of tall fencing across from the Juarez Valley, and doubled the number of Border Patrol agents. As a result, marijuana seizures in this area have fallen 97 percent in the past four years.

But none of this has dampened the drug mafias’ vicious competition to dominate the Juarez Valley.…” (NPR)
