A rancher speaks out anon about the reality of life in the rural areas on the U.S.-Mexican border. And MSNBC, going against type, reports it. Is America’s news cartel beginning to sympathize with law-abiding American citizens under siege on the U.S.-Mexican border? MSNBC tells the story of “a South Texas farmer” who lives “in fear of Mexican traffickers smuggling drugs and illegal immigrants across his land”:

“I’m a citizen of the United States. This is supposedly sovereign soil, but right now it’s anybody’s who happens to be crossing here,” he said. “I’m a little nervous being here right now. Definitely don’t come down here after dark.”
The farmer said a federal law enforcement agent told him to buy a bulletproof vest to use while working in his fields. Whenever he goes out to survey his agricultural operations, he always tells his office where he is headed, and he has purchased a high-powered rifle.
“One of the basic points of the federal government is to protect the people of this nation to secure the border, and they’re not doing that,” he complained.

Like Bush before him, Obama “and many local officials have said the U.S.-Mexican border is safer than ever and that reports of violence on the American side are wildly exaggerated. But the farmer scoffed at that argument. ‘I walk this soil every day and have since I was old enough to come out on my own,’ he said. ‘In this part of Texas, it is worse than it’s ever been.'”

Remember Rancher Robert Krentz and his faithful companion, both killed by a marauder who beat a retreat to Mexico.

UPDATE (Nov. 27): Many more, mostly unmentioned, Mexicans than Americans have been gunned down as a consequence of “Operation Fast and Furious,” “in which a gang going by the acronym ATF—the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives—sold assault rifles to Mexican gangsters and their local gun-runners, who later used their taxpayer-funded ammunition and immunity to gun down” these innocents.

The gang leader is Attorney General Eric Holder.

    The situation on the border is indicative of the corruption and decay that has taken root in our political and commercial leadership. Politicians sucking up to corrupt Mexican politicians, who are on the take from the drug lords, and also sucking up to latino voters in the US is an outrageous situation. Who comes in last? The American tax paying citizen. Will there ever be a groundswell of opposition from any public leaders? Those few who buck the tide and speak up are slammed by the leftist P C press and don’t the get support from the citizens that they deserve. A few tea partiers are standing up but get no real support. Our leadership is perfectly willing to sell out the country for short term advantage and the populace is too numb to rise up. The country has gone to hell in a handbasket.
