DEL RIO, TX – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Eagle Pass Station arrested a member of the Sureño 13 criminal gang who had been previously removed from the United States. This is the fourth confirmed gang member arrested by Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents in the last week.

“Gang members continue to cross the border, and attempt to head farther into the United States among groups of illegal aliens,” said Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Felix Chavez. “Due to the vigilance of our agents, four gang members were stopped from making their way to American cities through the southwest Texas border this week.”

On July 3, Border Patrol agents arrested a Mexican national near Eagle Pass shortly after he made illegal entry by crossing the Rio Grande River. Agents later discovered he is a member of the Sureño 13 criminal street gang. His prior order of removal will be reinstated, and he faces prosecution under 8 USC § 1326 – Reentry After Deportation, which carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison.

The Del Rio Border Patrol Sector is part of the Joint Task Force-West South Texas Corridor, which leverages federal, state and local resources to combat transnational criminal organizations. To report suspicious activity call the Del Rio Sector’s toll free number at 1-866-511-8727.

Some of these guy's will purposely get caught so that they can go to jail and serve some time... They say that jail time in America is better than freedom in Mexico.

I think that many go this route because it is easier than doing what it take's to come through the "front" door. In America, if you are a "bum", we give you a couple dollar's or tell you to get a job, and excuse it by saying that they should have done what it take's to have a better life... At least that's my experience, and none of you here on Live came to the "transient's" defense when they get talked about as though they're trash by folks like Lares.

But let someone take the lazy route on our border policy and we will hold prayer vigil's and camp-out protests, while taking to social media to bash any of the "heartless Nazi's" that support our President and National immigration policy.

I don't use the platform, but on the news their was a lady who took to Twitter and tweeted that she saw an affluent black man, driving a BMW with an NRA bumper sticker, and a "don't tread on me" sticker... She tweeted that she was "confused" about this...

I don't believe that these thing's reflect where we are as a Country, but I do believe that it could unless we continue to speak the truth to people.

The truth is, that many "bum's" did make the choices that led to the natural consequences they are facing... And while we aren't completely heartless as a community toward them, we haven't taken many steps to help them out of that position in life... We just live our's. If that's OK... Then what's wrong with saying that anyone coming to America need's to come through the front door? I believe in the law of "natural consequences".

Billion's of tax dollar's go to paying for the cost incurred by illegal immigration, maybe we wouldn't see so much poverty if we didn't have to pay that money each year. In 50 years we could pay off our National debt if we didn't have to pay for illegal immigration as a people.

P.s. I learned spanish in a prison cell with a Mexican from Juarez... He and several others throughout the years told me that it's better to be in prison in America, than to be free in Mexico. Orale.

You're spot on, in regards to the immigrant fiasco, but the "transients" are just as much of a problem.

I live on the Northside, and commuting daily I watched what began as a steady congregation of a couple of scumbags loitering around Mc Donald's, turn into a full blown squatter's camp beneath the underpass.

Look into the "Broken Window's Theory", Nate. Every slum and crime ridden community began with one or two people or incidents which was met with indifference, laying out the welcome mat for every POS within the immediate area to come and do their worst.

Mc Donald's never implemented a paying customers only policy, and they're sure in no hurry to run off the trash harassing the paying customers. Authorities do little to nothing in policing that area, oddly, as it's in the vicinity of a high school. When we play the ever-useful "little children" card, and no one lends an ear, I guess we're screwed.

I've spoken with a manager of that particular Mc D's. I asked him how comfortable he was knowing his restaurant was peppered with panhandling filth, on a daily basis. I asked him if he found it acceptable that his paying customer's were being harassed by these parasites, and if he'd feel comfortable bringing his family around this element. Being that he's a Mc D's manager, I didn't expect much of an answer, let alone any semblance of customer care, but it was good food for thought.

I feel for the families who fall on hard times, or the man who gets laid off. Not all impoverished people are bad. A majority of what we're seeing roaming the streets, however, are able-bodied men who CHOOSE criminal lifestyles and substance abuse, because their community's apathy is conducive to such lifestyles.

When Nature calls, these people are shitting on SOMEONE'S property. It might not be mine or yours, but in the mind of the "transient", it may as well be, and why the hell not?

Back to the immigrant issue. People should not be allowed to enter into our country illegally, and then bitch about the pitfalls of getting caught. Though the children will probably be fed a heaping dose of Leftist bullshit, they need to know that next to bringing a life into the world they knew they couldn't support, their parent's second mistake was putting them in this current predicament.

While indiscriminate charity doesn't bother the modern day snowflake, graphic violence always will, and should.

The cartels have set up shop in virtually every major city within the country. These aren't your typical inner city dealers, trying to sell a few rocks to buy some new Jordans, these are stone f'in killers who've decimated every bordertown they've taken over or fought to control.

Dallas, for instance is a Sinaloa stronghold. If Zeta or Juarez factions began to interfere in the region's daily operations, the piles of severed heads, complimented with the scrawled "narcomensaje" can't be far behind.

I'm a huge fan of the Narco video genre, however. It has the same allure as the infamous "Bum Fights" trend we saw years back. Anyone who supports open borders, really needs to forget the media's "dreamer" narrative and watch these animals filet or dismember each other alive. Don't feel too sorry for them, if the gurgling, doomed soul in the video had it his way, he'd be at the other end of the dull machete. It's a win-win situation -- bad guy kills bad guy.

Is a nation which can't so much as stomach the concept of decisive, severe punishment for deserving violent offenders, prepared for the level of bloodshed that these organized gangs of serial killers are capable of bringing to the table?

"But most Mexicans aren't criminals!" cries the Left. True, but if you're in a stadium of 50 thousand people, aren't you glad the security at the doors scrutinized 49,998 people before finding the two with criminal intent?

Sound's like the "butterfly effect"... of the social kind. I might look at it.

"Bum's", tend to have made the negative life choices that led them to homelessness, that doesn't mean I don't care, I do, but I also know that these are people who need to be "taught how to fish", not "given a double fillet-o-fish". Just because they have made bad choices, doesn't mean that they can't do better... People are worth it, but they have to "want it".

Don't forget all the work our city went through to make their "tent city" illegal in our city code... If people don't like it, all you have to do is call the cops on them. Don't go to places they frequent, or, do go to them and get used to it... I haven't had a problem with bums, they don't harass me... I say "no", if they ask me for money... Although, I have been known to sit down and eat with them and share some dialogue about Jesus, so far, they have been more friendly than "Live" users in that regard.

You're right, we do already have a ton of Cartel activity in America, and nobody is talking about that... If we don't get unified on several "fronts" regardless of our disagreement's, we will end up seeing some literal, "bleeding heart's".

One thing I will always agree with you on Lares, is strict and swift punishment for violent crime. People will always live in their fairy tale idea of America, when they live far from the trouble... Notice, that the people crying about kid's at the border, are all about letting people kill kid's in the womb in the thousand's each day. The one's who want to legislate gun's out of modern legal usability, are the one's surrounded by body guard's and those who don't even know how to operate a gun.

It always upset's me when people who've never been to prison, talk about how prison life is, like they know something... That's as insulting as a millennial claiming to a Vietnam veteran that he was at the Tet Offensive.
As long as, for whatever reason, we keep on fighting each other, it's only going to do more harm than good. Dialogue is good, becoming combative because of a disagreement is childish... Feeling's got America looking like daycare.

I find it hard to believe that 127 million Mexicans would rather live in US prisons. I also don't understand how a family unit can travel 1500 miles or so, on foot, and be lazy. Work on farms or in construction or in the service industry for 10 hour days, and be lazy. $11 billion in various taxes on the local, state and federal level cannot be lazy. How much do your transient buddies contribute?

P$. I wonder how much it cost to incarcerate you? Overall in the US over $1 trillion a year. Maybe we should put prisons on islands, and let them fare for themselves.

Wonder how much cheaper it would be on taxpayer's, if they didn't have to pay to incarcerate illegal immigrant's, along with American's who break the law... Guarantee you it would be cheaper. It cost 1.87 billion for American taxpayers to incarcerate criminal non-citizen's in 2014. I was an American, when I incurred my debt to society... And since, I've paid more than what I owed back to my community... Any thing else Salt?

That's the annual cost to taxpayers for illegal immigration... If your heart's desire is to come to America, you need to do it the right way, not play the system and hurt everyone in the process. Why are we as American's, spending hard earned, American dollar's on "million's" of individual's who have neither the right, nor the authorization to be inside the United States?

To put in kindly, the quoted source for this figure is unlikely to win any awards for accuracy or basic trustworthiness.

Here's something that's funny then... Google the cost of illegal immigration to the U.S.... Politifact say's that Trump's claim of a cost of $113 billion is "mostly false".

Then Politifact weighs in on $300 billion, as being "half true". I could be wrong, but isn't 1/2 of 300 billion about... 113 billion? Trump's, "mostly false" claim?

"Federal agencies say they don’t track data on inmates in the country illegally, and several immigration experts told us there’s no definitive source for that specific number."

"And since, I've paid more than what I owed back to my community... Any thing else Salt?" Says you?

Permalink

Pull up some data that doesn't look good for your opinion and all of a sudden, it's not definitive... I'll rest my case, the numbers, to me, aren't that important, the important factor is that we have a "front" door in America... You can become an American if you want to do it the right way.

If you don't want to go through the work to become an American Citizen, then you don't deserve the benefit's of being one...

You don't like it if somebody takes what belong's to you personally, why is it OK then in your view, to allow those who are not American's to receive the benefit's of being an American? Those who enter illegally aren't taking part in what we've established as the process by which you can be an American... Honestly, it's disrespectful to all those who've put in the hard work to become citizen's before them.

Your rambling and inconsistent personal truths are tiresome. No surprise "numbers, to me, aren't that important" is coming from the same dude who thinks the earth was created a few generations ago and confuses the scientific theory with just some random idea.
Keep posting though. It gives those of us who actually have productive lives a chuckle during our work day.

We couldn't have existed million's of years ago, if we did, the earth would have an inhospitable amount of people on it based on figures, less than our current population growth rate.

But by all means... Use "theory" to answer all your question's in life.

Don't play yourself Pogue, you don't really want a dialogue, and I'm not taking the bait. If you really wanted to talk about it, you would use the E-mail I've posted to do so.

Stick to your government approved education, and don't bother to do any other research, because we all know that the government only "co-sign's" on "legitimate" truth's right. They've never redacted history, or straight up lied to people, or kept secret information from the public... Surely, they've picked only the best and most reliable "science" to teach us.

The feds don't track that data. As for the right way.....how about convincing Mrs. trump to release her paperwork, and just how her extraordinary circumstances enabled her to become a citizen.

Just how many have put in the hard work? Like it or not, many in the late 19th early 20th century did not complete the process. The "go back to your country" crowd feel entitled, just by the color of their skin.

As for your bull shyt MAGA complaint, the President himself has given the go ahead for violence, you snowflakes sure love to be the victim. So take your trumpy bear and maga hat for a burger, no one cares!

Your target (and mine) provides chuckles as well as disappointment. The 6000 year-old earth thing eludes any rational argument, but there are some who cling to it. Suffice it to say I will cling to the tenets of true science instead of an ancient text from bronze age people attempting to explain what was to them inexplicable.

Permalink

I only disagree with the term "target"
Focus is necessary to hit a target. Insignificant rambling from the brainwashed requires no focus to knock down. Unfortunately it seems we live in an age where many have a really hard time aiming. Ignorance? Laziness? Submission? Who knows.

The fed's don't track that data... It's tracked enough to show that it hurts the taxpayer, but you don't want to talk about that.

Melania had permission to be in country when she began working as a model, she didn't just come over while nobody was looking. Her H-1B work visa was in order, although the EB-1 green card is debatable, it's still pretty low to go there, and it definitely has nothing to do with what we're talking about. Moving goalpost's tend's to be pretty common when we talk.

In the fiscal year of 2016, 752,800 people became citizen's. While many in the past may have bypassed the rules, that doesn't mean we should continue to allow it to go unchecked.

Explain how the color of one's skin has anything to do with their agreement with American policy on borders and naturalization? I don't get it, because American's from all culture's stand in agreement on these issue's.

I know what the law's are in Texas, and I won't be seen on the news being assaulted for any reason, sad day for anyone who tries it, I don't want to hurt anyone, but I won't let myself or my wife and kids get hurt either.

How a "model" who bares it all, gets to stay, but a Chinese immigrant who is a PhD candidate gets tossed.....???

Holy crap! Your one of those "man had Dino's as pets guy"? What on flat Earth did they teach in prison?

Major league chuckle. Just don't forget you're talking to a guy who rejects well-founded science in favor of mythology. After all, his world might not be flat but it's only 6,000 years old.

sanglo expat... Don't flatter yourself, you know you don't want to discuss these topic's either, it's easier for all of you to quickly engage my point's in front of an audience in an insulting manner, than it is to actually look at the idea's that you hold to, let alone, defend them when challenged.

I'm glad that Border Patrol continues to do it's job, definitely grateful that there are good folks who care about keeping American's safe to the best of their abilities.

With Cartel member's number's increasing in-Country, we need the blue-collar American who's just doing his job to make an actual difference to a real problem.

America has rule's, you want to be one of us? Go through the process. Don't disrespect hundreds of thousand's of my fellow American's, who have gone through the proper channels, by ignoring our laws, and entering illegally.

Hang in there Nate, apparently Live has attracted lefties by the droves.
Ignore them, they know not of what they speak.
You are a prime example of what the power of the Lord Jesus can do in our lives if we let him.
Keep on keeping on, your words should have power to teach others by your example.

Hey, thank you Wanderer... I appreciate the sentiments. I just try to be myself, some like it, some don't, I guess it's nothing new really.

I heard someone say that it's not that our lefty friend's are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.

Maybe we should deal with these cartels like the SE Asians do, on the demand side of this problem. Death penalty for those who use or buy illegal drugs. From the top to the bottom. Not like the undocumented workers, who get arrested and the one who hires them gets off unpunished. Maybe we can drive them out of business.

What on flat Earth makes one think it's only 6000 years old?

I have nothing against people from other countries coming to live here if they do so legally. My own parents came over from Canada legally followed all the rules and regulations, kept up with their green cards and were productive, tax paying citizens who never got into any trouble with the law at all. I was actually born in the U.S. so I became an automatic citizen. The way I see it, is that if you come over illegally and you know it, then you are willing to break laws. You lie every time you fill out a form that asks your citizenship status and you may even buy a social security card from the black market (thereby stealing someone else's information) . people that are willing to do that every day for years and not have any trepidation about it are not people I want in my country.
