This is really difficult for those of us who do not live in the area. I am more inclined to believe you (John Doe2) than the blogger. Nevertheless, it is bothersome to even hear of the possiblity of this being true.

What I want to know is Why have they canceled a pageant and closed stores and citizens reporting gunfire ? I have looked at news from Laredo and seen ALL these things are TRUE !?!?!

The canceled pageant was in Mexico, not the U.S.
The gun fire was in Mexico, not the U.S.

I guess I just assume that it was the same place , how far away from where the standoff is supposedly taking place and this part of mexico where the stores,pageant and gunfire? just wandering because the way I take it the borders aren't really borders in certain areas?!? Thanks for any info.

the gunfire was in nuevo laredo, directly on the other side of the Rio Grande River.
the two ranches are approximately 20 miles to the northwest of there

Digger was already banned from ALIPAC before this fake story because we saw him circulate false information before now.

The problem here is that Digger circulated an article as if it were true when he only had one source and that source, Jeff Schwilk, was a second or third hand source!

ALIPAC would never run with a story like this until more verification were done and our team felt good about our credibility being protected to run it.

ALIPAC is also often the first organization to report a story like this nationally. Digger went out on a limb here seeking attention and he cut major corners to do it and now what little remained of his credibility has been shredded.

Of course the illegal alien supporting groups will try to rub this in all of our faces.

But ALIPAC has done the right thing here by intercepting the problem and taking action to stem the damages as quickly as possible.

Mexican Drug Cartels Invade Texas, Seize Ranches!

James Joyner | Sunday, July 25, 2010

Reports from The Examiner and The Cypress Times that thugs from the Los Zetas drug cartel have seized two Laredo, Texas ranches are spreading through the blogosphere. Is this the first wave of the Reconquista?

Well, Confederate Yankee’s Bob Owens called the Laredo Police Department and the Webb County Sheriff’s Department and was told that no such thing was happening.

The Laredo Times could also find no information to support the claim. There’s are registration-only stories on the front page with headlines “Stores close due to cartelsâ€
