What I find incredible is how the American media has completely ignored what is going down in the border. Drug cartels have infiltrated almost every aspect of life, business, politics and law in South Texas. Judges, lawyers, police, state troopers, politicians ON THIS SIDE OF THE BORDER have been busted through out the years for corruption related to the drug war and none of this hits American mainstream media. We're talking about American officials.

WESLACO - Several South Texas lawmakers tell CHANNEL 5 NEWS they've received threats from Mexican drug cartels.
For safety reasons, the lawmakers didn't want us to identify them. But a U.S. security source tells us the Zetas made the threats to intimidate lawmakers.
He adds it’s not likely the threats would be carried out, but lawmakers should take the threats seriously. We’re told the Zetas have the capability to kidnap officials.
Our source explains increased law enforcement at the border is making it tougher for the Zetas to preserve their drug and weapons smuggling routes into the United States. They don’t want lawmakers to send National Guard troops to the border. Troops would threaten the Zetas’ operations.
The security source tells us the threats are an act of desperation, but they may have the opposite effect the Zetas want. The more threats against lawmakers make it more likely the governor would send the National Guard to the border.
