Murder in Rio Grande Valley: “This is coming to a town near you”

Murder in Rio Grande Valley: “This is coming to a town near you”

The voice on the other end of the line is exasperated. “It’s insane,” he wants America to know. “We’re in a war zone.” And there’s no room for apathy.

“This is coming to a town near you,” he warns.

The man on the phone is a veteran of the Department of Homeland Security who works in South Texas. He reached out to me last night in the wake of an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent’s horrific murder on Friday. The 36-year-old agent, Javier Vega Jr., was shot execution-style in front of his wife, his parents, two of his sons and another child in the Rio Grande Valley. Vega’s father was also shot but survived. They were on an idyllic family fishing trip before being robbed and ambushed.
The two suspects are Mexican nationals from Matamoros. “They’re here illegally,” my source said with a weary sigh. And not just that. They had been previously deported after committing other serious crimes, he says.
According to my source, one had a history of smuggling aliens and drugs. The other had previous arrests for unlawfully carrying a firearm and family violence issues.
“But we just drop the thugs off at the border, and they come right back.”



Illegal alien murder suspects Ismael Hernandez and Gustavo Tijerina
The National Border Patrol Council issued a moving statement after a middle-of-the-night manhunt led to the capture and confessions of the two suspects this weekend:
“Agent Vega was armed and fought back to protect his family. During the course of the ensuing firefight Agent Vega’s father was hit in the leg and Agent Vega was mortally wounded. After Agent Vega fell, his family members continued to fight back. Agent Vega’s actions were in keeping with the finest traditions of the United States Border Patrol and his will be a place, deserved of honor and glory, when the final story of the United States Border Patrol is written.”
The White House and U.S. Chamber of Commerce may not speak up, but the NBPC gave the law enforcement officers on the border their just recognition: “We want to commend the Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers involved in the manhunt for Agent Vega’s killers. It is through their professionalism and tenacity that the wretched animals who committed this crime will face the full measure of Texas justice.”
No doubt the bleeding hearts will take offense at wretched animals being called what they are. I can hear “progressives” whipping out their overdrawn race cards as I type. That’s all they’ve got.
Last week, Democrats took to the House floor to inveigh against heartless Republicans who oppose expanding President Barack Obama’s administrative amnesty. “Un-American.” “Deplorable.” “Hateful.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi imperiously dismissed enforcement advocate Rep. Tom Marino, R-Pa., as “insignificant.” It’s “almost as though they despise and hate all of our children,” fumed Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.
So, public safety and homeland security concerns are “insignificant”? More than a half-million border crossers from Mexico, South America and Central America granted administrative amnesty or special border-surge status under Obama are “our children”? Where are the speeches from Pelosi and her fellow House Democrats on behalf of the children of Javier Vega? And for the children of other fallen agents and law enforcement officers? Or for the children of countless other victims nationwide murdered by criminals who waltzed across the borders with impunity?
And where’s the compassion for the men and women trying to do the job big business and big government don’t want done?
The men and women sworn to provide border security — instead of just talking about it — don’t have time for Washington games and politically correct niceties. “A lot of politicians come down here,” my DHS correspondent says. “They talk about securing the border, but they leave us with our hands tied.” He shares his experiences patrolling vast swaths of the Rio Grande Valley with no backup. He talks about wasted resources and the deportation charade. “They get their papers served, and then they just disappear.”
Both parties are to blame for the endless cycle of amnesty, catch and release, and bloodshed, he tells me. The latest border surge, catalyzed by Obama’s systemic non-enforcement and bipartisan-enabled benefits magnets, keeps DHS first responders overwhelmed by design.
“They keep doing the same thing over and over again,” he points out, “and it doesn’t work.” Immigration “reform” doesn’t require hundreds of pages of new legislation, new waivers, new employment permits, more lawyers or visa expansion programs. It starts and ends with this:
Stop pouring fuel on the border chaos fire, and let our forces on the front lines do their damned jobs.
I tell my DHS correspondent “thank you” and share my prayers for his safety. He hangs up and gets back to his work — or as much of it as the politicians in Washington will allow him to do.

So sad and so preventable if only we had been enforcing our current immigration laws and had secured our border

Two Illegal Aliens Murder Texas Border Patrol Agent in Front of His Family

Two degenerate illegal aliens have been caught after murdering an off-duty border agent who was fishing with his parents, his wife and his children.

From KRGV: Border Patrol spokesman Omar Zamora told CHANNEL 5 NEWS the agent was shot in the chest Sunday night after an attempted robbery. According to Zamora, the gunmen saw the agent had a gun in his holster and opened fire. Willacy County Sheriff Larry Spence said another person was also injured in the shooting. That person was identified as one of the Border Patrol agent's relatives. Both victims were driven to the hospital in personal vehicles. Border Patrol agents and DPS troopers assisted with the investigation. Spence said authorities are still looking for the crime scene, but they suspect it happened near Santa Monica. Family members with the agent gave authorities a description of the suspects' vehicle. Authorities found the vehicle on FM 2629, close to the floodway. We're told no one was inside. Investigators searched the area and found the two suspects on foot. They were arrested close to the county line, near Sebastian.

Just this Sunday, Candy Crowley was berating Governor Rick Perry for sending the National Guard to the border, saying that his figure citing how many Americans were murdered by illegal aliens was too high. His answer was perfect - what's the correct number of Americans that this administration would allow to be murdered by illegal aliens?

May Javier Vega Jr. rest in peace.

Outraged Border Patrol Agents Reportedly Circulating Email Over Agent’s Murder by Illegal Aliens

While Democrats continue to insist that the border is secure, Border Patrol agents are speaking out after Javier Vega Jr. was murdered by two illegal aliens in an ambush in Texas. One agent anonymously penned his outrage in an email that is reportedly being circulated among Border Patrol agents.
Here is an excerpt from the email obtained by Breitbart:

Killed while “Off-duty”? This is all you have to say about the murder of a Border Patrol Agent by previously deported aliens?!?!?! Thanks to the failed immigrations policies of this administration something like this occurs and you don’t want to even acknowledge the actual events in your email to the employees of the DHS? Off duty makes it sound like a car accident, a heart attack, maybe something else…….but really????????? Disrespectful at the least and downright shameful in my opinion!
*
…Maybe our military pilots can get some much needed flight time and training in by loading C-17s with illegal aliens and flying them to their home countries, and maybe, just maybe, someone will decided that it is time to take some real steps to secure the border.
*
Half the politicians out there don’t even know what the names of the agencies and what they do when they talk about immigration and securing the border. It’s not ‘border guards’, It’s Border Patrol Agents. Ignorance spawns failure and ignorance runs amuck in Washington, D.C.

Breitbart.com claims they have confirmed the identity of the man whose frustrated sentiments reflect what many of us are feeling about the out-of-control situation at the border.
Doesn’t it seem like a country as wealthy and powerful as ours could control our borders?
