Via Breitbart:

The protest calling for shutting down various ports of entry across the Texas-Mexico border appeared to be called off, when one of the event’s organizers?claimed?that the group had received cartel threats. Ultimately, only five individuals showed up to protest at the port of entry in Pharr, Texas.

Key word in that statement: claimed. Emphasis mine. I’don’t believe it. Who specifically did the drug cartels call to threaten? You can read the fishy story here. There is zero evidence that these claims are true. Anyhow.

Here’s the horrible part about this whole incident. From Breitbart:

Those protesting told Breitbart Texas that today their objective has changed from closing the port to seeing how many law enforcement officials and resources they can tie up watching them.

Federal and local law enforcement was tied up for hours at the scene. A Department of Public Safety (DPS) helicopter that was assigned to Operation Strong Safety, Texas DPS personnel, and dozens of Pharr employees spent over two hours ensuring the safety of everyone present.

Really? Really? These people need to be held accountable for this. Seriously.


Note that this is Breitbart Texas reporting this. Not some biased “Liberal News Media Outlet.” Breitbart Texas journalist Bob Price was profoundly shocked.

“I was dismayed that people who are pledged to increasing border security would brag about taking resources away from border security.”

Uh huh. We aren’t one bit surprised. The goal of these people has never really been border security. They’re racists, pure and simple. Let’s all give Breitbart a big ole’ Liberal America welcome to the world of reality.
