More #bordernews from the southern front.  Situation deteriorating as hundreds of schoolchildren in Comstock held hostage by illegal MS13 members of caravan that overwhelmed local border patrol agents and stormed the school.

On Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019, officials with Comstock ISD locked the outside doors of its lone campus, a K-12 school with about 212 students in Comstock, as a safety precaution while U.S. Border Patrol agents pursued a small group of people in the area, according to a notification sent via text by school officials:

"Comstock Students, Staff And Parents: There is a group of illegal aliens south of Comstock that the Border Patrol are pursuing. As a precaution, we are locking all outside doors. All students passing between buildings will be accompanied by an adult. Your children are safe. We will alert you should the status change."

Public reaction on social media was swift, and reverberated with hundreds of Facebook and Twitter users calling for authorities to secure the border and "build the wall" after a post was shared on Facebook more than 1.6 thousand times by Wednesday morning.

 

Dennis Smith with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Public Affairs office in Del Rio, Texas, said no one that he's aware of with Border Patrol advised the school district to lock its doors while agents pursued the small group of people, who were all apprehended. 

Wolfenbarger said the migrant caravan at Piedras Negras, which is about 87 miles to the south of Comstock, had nothing to do with the people who were pursued by officials near his school.

With the maurauding horde streaming across the border, safety only being preserved by the Texas DPS deployed to Eagle Pass and schools going on lockdown to protect the children, it almost sounds like a state of emergency.

A Border Patrol buddy in Laredo was sent to Eagle Pass with a bunch of others last week.  He said they went to go and provide "support" for the officers (BP/Customs/Sheriff) already in the area.  He told me the main reason they are there was to help process the migrants that were showing up at the ports of entry.  They were not expecting much if any more than the usual traffic that tries to sneak in through other areas of the border on a normal day.

A good chunk of my family is from the EP-Piedras area (on...yes....both sides).  My folks were just there last weekend.  There was a good bit of talk of this group, but not in a particularly alarmist way.  Mostly in a concern for the ability of the area to take care of them while they're there, provide shelter, etc.

It's amusing that people are freaking out about a group of 200 migrants.  Seriously.  That's a ridiculously small number.  My cousin from EP was a BP agent in Cotulla for several years.  On his days off visiting family, he still would find himself riding around with the local BP, and pointing out all the places where crossers would hide when he was a kid.  They'd scoop up a dozen a night or so, hiding in the railyard and such.  And that was just in town.  Folks have been sneaking across in the EP sector for a long time.  My cousin didn't much care about the politics of any of it -- he just enjoyed the thrill of the hunt.  Hell, back then, it was mostly just a game - they knew they were sneaking across to work, they knew they might get caught, such is life.

My first thought after seeing the DPS caravan was a quote from the movie Geronimo.

"Must be Texans... lowest form of white man there is."

I love the state of Texas but we do a lot of dumb shit. We are the home of aggy after all. Personally, I write that off as East Texas nonsense but then we pull something like this off and I question the sanity of our entire state.

I would recommend you just stay inside, wrap yourself in bubble tape and cover your nose and mouth. This is scary stuff, you wouldn't want to risk life or limb.

Godspeed!

T&P! 

Stay safe!

Thank them for their service. I hope they took plenty of ammo and can hold out until the DPS reinforcements arrive.

If the Caravan were smart they would just stay in Piedras. When I was spending time in Eagle Pass, I enjoyed my time in PN much more than EP. Even their Charcoal' Grill was better.

I grew up in one of these towns on the border in the 70s and 80s.  If we had closed down the schools any time there was a story going around about some illegal aliens crossing someone's ranch, we would have never gone.  In that time, the worst crime committed by illegal immigrants was breaking into someone's trailer on a ranch to get some food and water as they were passing through.  Shit got real when Mexican Americans started winning the local/county seats, however.  That's when immigration became a big problem for locals of a certain skin tone.

Tell me more.

Local and county government had been controlled by white ranching families since well before my birth.  They became a minority in the area and that led to people with hispanic last names winning elections.  Governance changed to proportionately weigh the needs of the hispanic majority in the area.  That is the point when I started hearing people from those ranching families talking about the dangers of immigration.  Prior to that, Mexicans were alright, as long as they stayed in their areas of town and unless one of them got uppity enough to date your daughter.

Fast forward thirty five years and the nation is on the cusp of white, Christian voters becoming a minority, we've elected Trump and he's manning the last canon at the Alamo

While all y'all Limousine Liberals and Reactionary Big-Truck Scared-of-Everythings were staring at the border when not whacking it to phone porn, I, RDCanecutter, caught one of the caravan's advance scouts prowling far past the Rio Grande in the disputed lands between the Choctaw, Muskogee, and Cherokee, or, as I like to call it, Birmingham.

He was mailing a package (probably plans of our trench works) and kept nodding "yes" to every question of whether he wanted to pay out the nose for next-day service. I bejabbered him in castellano, and as i suspected, he didn't give a damn whether it got there next day or not. Saved dude 38 dollars.

My new friend is from Quetzaltenango Guatemala, and when we US Citizens are all being led up the pyramid steps to slaughter, I, RDCanecutter, will be spared.

The rest of you will not.

Did you learn the secrets of Gallo beer? And which one are you?
