I received this in an email from Congressman Poe and I read the links. Chilling. I tried to search and see if this had been posted.

Congressman Poe Travels to Texas-Mexico Border

I recently traveled to the Texas-Mexico border where I flew up and down the Rio Grande River and encountered at least one drug smuggling event.

I had the opportunity to meet with Sheriff Martin Cuellar of Webb County, TX and Sheriff Sigi Gonzalez of Zapata County, TX and the Border Patrol and was able to see areas most commonly used for illegal drug trafficking and locations where folks on the United States side of the border hide clothes and food for those crossing the river.

It is absolutely necessary that we utilize the Texas Army National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard along with local Sheriffs and Border Patrol to protect and secure our borders from the human smugglers and drug cartels.

KPRC Local 2 Investigates reporter Robert Arnold was along for the trip – be sure to tune in TUESDAY, April 28th at 10pm for his latest report from the border.
