"Rural" USA Insight On Immigration

FALFURRIAS - Sex offenders, murder suspects and gang members are making their way through the vast rangelands of Brooks County.

The Vickers ranch is one of the many land spreads affected by the surge in illegal immigration. What is more concerning to the ranch owners is the type of people trekking through their land.

Linda Vickers never wanders away from her house without her trusty canine companions - Blitz, Elsa, Schotten and Tinkerbell.

The dogs provide a sense of security in a land of insecurity.

"The safety factor out here has changed," Vickers said.

Vickers and her husband own and operate a nearly-1,000-acre ranch in Brooks County.

Vickers reports anyone who crosses her fence line to Border Patrol.

"As of yesterday, 196 illegal immigrants with 136 apprehensions by Border Patrol," she said.

The dogs sniff out those hiding in the brush.

"There are some good, helpless people. Then, there are some really bad ones," Vickers said.

Earlier this week, Vickers took a photo of a man on her front porch. She said the man had a Tango Blast tattoo.

Tango Blast is the largest and one of the most dangerous gangs operating in the state, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

"I sometimes have to take a step back and realize the jeopardy that could happen out here," Vickers said.

It's not just gang members that worry Vickers. Border Patrol agents arrested a wanted murderer near Falfurrias and sex offenders in the Rio Grande Valley last weekend.

"They're everywhere," Vickers said.

Border Patrol Spokesman Oscar Saldana said criminals won't turn themselves in like families and unaccompanied children.

"They may have something to hide," Saldana said. "Some of that criminal history can be very dangerous."

Still, Vickers won't leave her land.

"Even my husband couldn't blast me outta here," she said with a laugh.

Fox's O'Reilly Calls For Boycott Of Mexico: Will It Be As Ineffective As His Boycott Of France?

Blog ››› June 18, 2014 10:34 PM EDT ››› TERRY KREPEL


Fox News host Bill O'Reilly is calling for his viewers to boycott Mexico, though his four-year boycott of France during the Iraq War was a failure despite his false and conflicting claims to the contrary.

On the June 18 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly declared that Mexico "is not our friend" and that Americans "should stop going there" because the country is allegedly allowing human trafficking into the United States and because the Mexican president is "giving us the middle finger" over the case of a U.S. Marine jailed in Mexico for allegedly inadvertently crossing the border. O'Reilly urged viewers to boycott the country, telling them, "Let's stop rewarding Mexico until they stop hurting us."

I wonder if O'Reilly includes all those imports of Mexican cattle to US feedlots, which have historically been the source of the majority of bovine tuberculosis found in this country....
