Texas Rangers Raid "Cartel Island" on Border with Mexico
Vložit

- The border with Mexico has recently become a hot spot for cartel activity. This has further fueled the fire of the humanitarian crisis. Many areas will have large population centers on the Mexican side of the border, and little to no infrastructure on the American side, making them ideal places for launching points into the U.S. Some recent efforts have been made to fix this situation. US Authorities have built autonomous border patrol watch towers, Autonomous watch towers scan the environment with radar to detect movement then it orients the camera to that location. I’ve used something similar to this when I was in Iraq and its detection capabilities are incredible. You can easily spot targets over 2 kilometers away. Computer AI algorithms analyzes the imagery to automatically identify if its worth notifying and sending agents out to the scene. but these are expensive and typically dozens of miles apart. They are only posted where terrain permits at the most easily accessible crossing points.

The US Police successfully seized Fronton island by force without incident during what the Texas government is calling Operation Lone Star. Officers even planted a Texas flag on the island. I'm half surprised they didn’t also plant a buc ee's flag along with it. But the occupation by the police force was only the first stage of a much larger plan. The fight may have only just begun because Drone footage captured at least 10 cartel members patrolling through this same stretch of border only a month after the raid. Then Ground level cameras captured even more armed foot soldiers here.
The end goal of the island was to completely clear it of all vegetation, and cut off all potential access from Mexico. The Texas Department of Public Safety, who headed the operation made the all clear, which greenlighted national guard horizontal construction troops from the 176th Engineer Brigade to bring in their heavy equipment. They laid down over a mile and a half of razor wire to stop cartel freedom of movement. They immediately started stripping Fronton island of foliage, ripping up trees and removing brush. Additional wire obstacles were emplaced on the far side of the island, and regular patrols by National Guard units under Operation Lone star began.

Really? Hadn't noticed
Why can't I watch your member videos? I got a membership yesterday and still can't? 😢
Vote for Trump
Cartels are deep in the pockets of our politicians through legal bribery, a.k.a lobbying, that’s why the drug epidemic is spreading the rot to both red and blue states and cities
some constructive criticism, it looks like you have the same mic but the sound was super "shouty" like your mids are boosted, compared to the last video (LCS) its very different.
The Cartels should be treated the same as any Terrorist Organization.
Too many politicians, on both sides of the border, are on their payroll, so that's not likely to happen.
The US government wants them in power. They know that the cartels will sell off the resources to,the highest bidder. The Mexican government will not. And like always, it will back fire on the US
From my years living in Mx I came to the conclusion that no-one singled out by the cartels says 'no' to them. One would have to have presidential level security to have a chance of surviving (or your family and friends) their ill will if they take you on as a project.
Its a race debate because of commies
Finland closed all their borders everyone cheers ! If we in US do it we get called racists! Wtf !?
If they should be treated as terrorists than we have to change the definition of terrorists
As a Texan, this border situation isn't doomer hype. The border situation is a legitimate national security threat.
and yet JB is trying to cut our razor wire and threatening US with military action
I support you. To the point that I will gladly travel there in support of you all, in, Any. Way. Needed.
How should we treat the POWs we capture crossing the border?
Send them to Canada with postage paid on delivery, courtesy of Trudeau.@@RedRabbitEntertainment

Those guys went in there fully knowing they had absolutely ZERO backup from their government. That ROE was absolutely ridiculous.
This is so much more nuanced than people yelling at each other on the internet. I appreciate learning from a source that provides information without bias.
What are you a robot, no human is without bias.
@@inyomoufizaWabbit Some of us try to account for it and separate it from our judgement, this is a massive difference from people who only watch the news all day and engage in shouting matches. Everyone has some bias, the only thing to do is be aware of it and handle it carefully, or risk acting on emotions rather than information
After how many years they still think using guns will solve something 😂
@@benxcell Ask the cartel. When met with an actual deterrent, they tend not to show up as much
@@fadedwolfe1394 and wdym deterrent when has the cartels ever stopped there business maybe they’ll stop k1lling so openly but no one has ever made the cartels stop the fbi literally gunned down most people in a village to get Pablo Acosta and that didn’t deter them
What is amazing is that Texas and Texas law enforcement can work with Mexican law enforcement, but Homeland Security doesn't even talk to Mexico.
If there is a will there is a way. Clearly homeland security is yet another corrupt federal agency with the purpose of removing the security from the homeland.
Homeland security does talk with Mexico but due to the corruption levels, there are a lot of people they don't trust.
When dealing with the cartels, it is also smart not to talk to much with Texas law enforcement
Yep, I caught that.
H.S. is implicit in the worst crimes.
Are you there in person to know this ?
I don't think so.
Walker, Texas Ranger aired from 1993 to 2001. I don't think it's a coincidence that the issues with the cartels only started getting really bad after it stopped airing.
Agreed. What was the consequence of Miami Vice's ending when it did?
Agreed.
When your in Texas look behind you, because that’s where the rangers gunna be!
I believe a reboot is on the air now since 2021? that should keep us safe for a bit
@@Taskandpurpose Doesn't seem to be working 😜
Dude, thank you for putting this together, it is sad that the media doesn’t paint the complete picture! Now things are more clear!
I like to imagine the cartel knew they were coming by the thunderous sound of a hundred armed men screaming “YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAWWWWW”
FACCCSS
We have lived in Texas for 40 years and over those years I have seen some scary stuff on the boarders near Del Rio and El Paso. Normally the Cartels and Gangs ignore or avoid you if they have no business with you, but if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, you probably won't be alive much longer. Best thing to do is STAY CLEAR of those areas and keep your eyes down, These people have zero fear of Law Enforcement or Death.
i live in el paso right now, and never seen any mexican cartels do anything in el paso.
I also have lived in Texas for many years (62) to be exact. I have also seen some very dangerous situations involving cartel and illegal immigrants. Unless you've lived here, most Americans up north have no idea how dangerous it is down here. They also don't realize how many Americans have disappeared traveling down in Mexico never to be seen again, not to mention all the Mexican woman that have disappeared. I support sealing the border and support Governor Abbott in doing this.

"No one is going to miss these cartel gang members." The politicians who are using them and being used by them will miss them.
Fair point unfortunately , I should have said no one sane is going to miss those cartel members
The CCP might miss them. Fentanyl sales will drop, mining enforcement operations will cease, L. America destabilization efforts minimized, yeah the CCP will miss them.
The CCP will miss them. Fentanyl sales will drop drastically.
@@MrNito2721and the users r american the Chinese ppl don’t use it lol
@@dwaynekeenum1916 the Chinese are exporters, their sales agents would take a hit. Reportedly up to 90% of the fentanyl market.
I don’t understand why we don’t just turn the island to a military base. Keep cartel activity down and adds on-site border patrol.
Great point but they don’t wanna spend money when they can be making it instead. Civilian safety is a secondary priority
Putting military base so close to the Mexican border can be seen as a national security threat to Mexico. Too many American politicians on the cartels payroll that the site could potentially be a drug trafficking site. Shit isn’t black or white sadly
Probably the farmers and citizens living around the area..disruption..some put up a fuss when they started building that ghetto wall lol if i remember
Bc politics
Something abt taking too much money to convert to a military base.
This is what happens when the cartels stop making royalty payments to the Texas Rangers. 😂😂😂

Even though the US is not at war with Mexico, it goes to show every nation must bolster their borders to be safe and effective.
Borders? In America? Lol silly rabbit not on bidens watch. No...we just give hundreds of billions to protect others borders. Ours dont seem to exist. Need them new voters!!
We are at war with Mexico....but it is not one using firearms. It is worse.
The image at the top of this story looks exactly like the one posted a few weeks ago where Texas claimed to have seized an island in the Rio Grande from cartels. I suspect this is being reposted to gather more clicks in the wake of the current situation between Texas and the Feds.😮
They’re CLEARLY ALLOWING it! Mexico needs to be held accountable! They’re ALLOWING all these immigrants to FLY ✈️ into Mexico and then it’s a Taxi / Bus System to get them to a SAFEHOUSE at the border, then from there they’re dropped off in the desert and cross right over. . . Texas, Arizona, California. . . All the same thing is happening at each place!
Are you sure? Do you know how many billions we spend “defending” the border only to achieve the piss poor results we’ve seen since the 1980s? I’m not sure what the solution is but I do know the every situation doesn’t require a military response.
It's wild that we have ships that can level nations but we can't manage an island on our own border. Our priorities are wild.
What's up with that! I'm a Texan, and we were not informed of such an island. Someone's getting kickbacks from the cartel.
It's called imperialism.
God for bid anyone's feelings get hurt.
rules of engagement...
it's not a war crime, the first time
I agree, I don't get it...if the military industrial complex wants to pay with its toys, what better enemy than the cartels?! You would have 100% public support
This seems to me like an unbiased informative video. Thanks.
Add DAY to the end of RIO GRAND… next time . Awesome coverage btw thank you!
As a native Texan , I appreciate how concise and informative this video was , incredible video brother . Props to you and your team for remaining unbiased 🙌🏽
A Texan thinks you need to learn how to say Rio Grande. it's NOT "Rio Growenday". Say grand. Then put Rio in front of it, you'll be close enough then.
I’m a native Texan and didn’t have a clue about this island.
"native"

Abbott is attacking the tail end of the snake.
He needs to slow it down in Central America
and in Washington.
And if you remove all the vegetation on an island,
it will not be long before the island is eroded away.
Thanks for another good video, Cappy
Our Texas Navy is small, and I don't think we have an Air Force. (yet) If the island erodes that would be a good thing.
Why not elect Ron White as deputy Marshall and take his plan seriously of just invading Mexico then Guatemala El Salvador Honduras Nicaragua Costa Rica then finally Panama, where we used to own the canal anyway

Still an idiot move to leave these buildings standing. Raze the island to the ground,leave NOTHING standing. If you leave them up then you are just inviting them back there.
Business as usual smh
Clearly whomever is the private owner of this island does not give a fuck so yeah, it'd be strategically sound to just level the whole island.
Texas rangers don't have the fire power to level those buildings and no one is going to send construction vehicles to do it. Say what you want about the buildings, they're still structures of concrete and metal.
Correct Sir ! Stay prepared , this is not good . Political Failure !!!!

Gov Abbott said this evening that Eagle Pass normally sees 2-5k illegal crossings per day. Today 6 people crossed at Eagle Pass and all 6 were arrested. The Texas Army (National Guard) is making a big difference already.
Tim the downside is the cartels simply move the crossing location upstream or downstream.They still cross and are processed !
Wow six people, out of a claim of 2.5k..

I love how you don't make your videos politically charged, keeping it factual and objective
Yet he cites sources and draws numbers from the Center for Immigration Studies, an anti-immigration political group founded by a proud eugenicist and white nationalist. He doesn't make his political leanings clear in his videos, but only so he can mislead with his "facts."
He is blatantly lieing about the critical issue of.. what the intent of the feds is.. he presents this info as if the feds and Texas both want the same thing.. he presents the info as if both sides want the border secured.. but no.. biden is sending feds specifically to cut down the razor wire.. to help illegals come across the border.. texas... on the other hand.. .. is trying to actually SECURE the border.
This isn’t even political. You’re either for the law or not.
If you cared about facts, you would read the 1611KJV Bible
Maybe it's because of fear of the Cartel.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
(2:136 / Translated by Community)

How anyone can oppose this is beyond me. Look they want to help people right, people fleeing to the US? This will help them by stopping the cartels. If the cartels are allowed to roam freely they will enslave them and worse. How do some people not see this?
Look at one of the most recent terminator movies. They try to make the cartel human traffickers look like angels. They poetically call them coyotes.
Stop the flow of weapons to Mexico, then the cartels will gave no firepower. Also stop the drug demand in USA, so cartels have no money, no power to destroy and take property, and people will stop migrating north. It takes two to dance tango!
for some reason ordinary mexicans are forced to cross illegally instead of legally. our system is fucking broken.

Seems a nice backpack. Did you buy online?
They put their lives on the line all of the time, god bless these people.
Amen!🙏🏼
Are they really? Giving them free phone air/bus fare to your neighborhood. Seems more like a welcoming commitment to them not the american people
Remember a lot of border patrol agents are on cartel payroll
@@MrTom1468 They're only sending them to these neighborhoods bc these states are voting for it and are northern yankees who are against the constitution. They're doing all patriots a favor.
The borders should be secured at all times
They should also release loads of Aligators un the water
God bless Texas
It would be but the Chinese are backing the Cartels. And jo and most of Congress is compromised by China , thus compromised by Mexico .
Joe doesn't have the desire, cognition, or the ⚾ ⚾, to protect this nation from eminent threats.
Tell that to your President
Thats crazy, I’ve never heard of this island before
Sounds like a fun holiday island, guns and money provided, great place for a new Survivor Series.
Prayers for the Texas situation in general, especially the increasing clash with the Feds
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
(2:136 / Translated by Community)

Wow..that was the best rundown ive seen in years. Excellent job
He left out the part about how congress almost reached a deal to fix all of this but then the republicans backed out because they didn't want it to look like a success story for the current administration and so Trump has something to campaign on. Pretty nuts if you ask me.
They did a great job chasing them from the island and into the United States. Where the biden administration welcomed them and their family, provided homes, health care, and transportation.
@taskandpurpose "federales" or Policia Federal in mexico was dissolved in 2019 so was not part of this operation. Probably was the Guarda Nacional.
Good report, but the river is pronounced - Rio Gran-DE, sorry but everyone in TX know the name (as well as anyone from mexico). Thought you might like to know.
About time. Moved from Texas to northern Arizona 9 years ago and both are going down the tubes. Inflation, homelessness, mental illness, illness, seniors, families and veterans on the streets. Addiction from illicit f from china 🇨🇳 through to the cartels to a city near you. 😢🤔🙏🏻
Cappy, your technique for delivering the information should be a lesson for the “professional media”. Just facts and data. Well done.
Can I get a mighty big HUA!
Oh please this is laughable, locked and loaded their M$s pushed south snipers nests, this is terrible. Just because you like this drivel does not make it professional
Hua😊
Media usually report the news, they don't do a historical reading 6 months later like this. That's called a documentary.
"working towards the same goals"
lol
HUA!
Thank You for getting this news out there. I lived in Texas 20 years & had no idea about this island.
Both sides are in the same chess board game
This is the best report of the border crisis that I've seen so far, thanks for the great work.
Important to say drug prohibition helps this crisis exist.
@@jonatand2045 I don't understand. You meant to say the drug enforcement agencies need to do a better job, right?
@@crystalgem5109
They have been failing for decades, you can only expect failure for anything other than legalization. What i mean is that the amount of immigration coming is in part due to drug prohibition making the cartels rich, which in turn creates violence that displaces latin Americans.
@@jonatand2045 I think legalizing it all would stress the healthcare system. But I do understand how it's benefiting the cartels like you said, unfortunately.
@@jonatand2045 In lieu of legalizing drugs, we could try to teach morals and self sufficiency again. Just a crazy idea.
I very much liked the Mexicans in the 6 years I lived there, unfortunately I fear that their government has been capture by cartels. That was a good part of the reason I recently (2015) moved back to the US. The Mexican government is at least partly a deadly enemy. I don't see any non-very messy way of dealing with this circumstance.
I lived in Tepic for 4 years and loved it, then everything started to get crazy and now I'm back in Montana.
Mexican government keeps their people undereducated. Collectively I think the day to day Mexicans are many of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
That's the tricky thing. The cartels more or less own the Mexican government, any attempt by the US to destroy these cartels will be seen as an act of invasion no matter how good the intention since it won't be done with the consent of the Mexican government.
But hey, you americans have a saying,
Everybodys gangsta until the nukes start dropping.
@@analyticalhabitrails9857no we don't.
I know it was a honest mistake but The Mexican Federal Police no longer exists in Mexico. It was replaced by La Guardia National.
Somewhat like a real-life version of the events in "Sicario"
"Gotta love Texans"
Immensely proud of my state and of our Rangers. Enough is enough, we're not going to tolerate the federal government endangering our people anymore.
Also want to thank the authorities in Mexico who assisted Texas and have been fighting the good fight against the cartels. I know that you guys are risking everything to do the right thing and it hasn't gone unnoticed or unappreciated.
USA used to run Mexico, until trump helped AMLO get elected in Mexico. USA arms the DEA drug cartels and USA used to arm mexico's army ...USA weapons makers made 5 billion in sales. no more fast furious, merida initiative, etc.... USA is loosing a lot of money. Past Mexican presidents, minus nieto, were CIA... not real Mexican presidents. TRUMP helped Mexico become less dependent on the USA, no more USA gasoline in Mex, no more natural gas in Mex, no Mex lithium or oil for the USA. ...DEA run the cartels.
They should also release loads of Aligators un the water
@@blocc316you are bot though?
@@blocc316 Get fed right some would be good eatin’ too.
Mexico ain’t doing that great of a job fighting the cartels on their own territories further south though. Their governement is responsible for the situation of increasing numbers of ghost towns, poverty, murders, drone attacks, extortion and abduction of peasants to the point that regular citizens formed militias with illegally owned weapons according to their laws (tolerated by the authorities since the situation is that bad). Some of their neighborhoods are enclosed to any external contact and constantly on edge. With that situation it’s not surprising that the population would run away towards the north. Doesn’t mean that illegal crossings should be tolerated either but Mexico is a fucked up place with a corrupt government. To be honest in pure cynicism, America should have made the entirety of Mexico a vassal State at this point. They can’t manage their own country at all.
great job on producing a 'documentary'. its really great how you have matured from 'grunt' talking about military subjects to a full blown documentary host that would do an amazing job on any subject.
Isn’t this the second time he uploads this??😂
"BUUHUUUA MEXICO IS NOT DOINT ANYTHING!!!"
they are...but if only 70%of the american population wasnt in to drugs funding this shit then it could be much easier.
This definitely felt like it had an underlying agenda
If the majority of the population are using drugs, then why are they illegal? Strip the cartels of their funding.. Legalize cannabis federally, remove the black market and that's ~15% dried up alone! You'll never defeat the cartels, or the war on drugs, with a $100bn+ market annually, someone will always fill the gap, and those the most prone to violence will always come out on top...
This is why we should just legalize drugs and put taxes on them and install an actual functioning and useful public health care system to help with anyone who got addicted, it would help significantly decrease the amount of money that the cartels make because people will be able to buy from legal none terristic organizations.
@@elishafollet5347lmao what u should do is invest money in helping ur people overcome their addictions instead of sending so much money to Ukraine and Israel help ur people and stay away from Latin America
@elishafollet5347 but the whole thing is also a giant business for the american government. They made billions upon billions with this, while faking the "war against cartels" my point is that the only responsible for all of this is America.
Thank you Texas Rangers !!! Lots of us in California are rooting for you more than you’d even know
Thank you for covering this. Its getting bad. Looking like another war is about to pop off over here.
Razor-wired, no-mans land sure does look like a war. You don't see anybody crossing the Korean DMZ :/
Sounds like that island would be a great testing ground for any new strategic missiles we are testing.
As a west EU dude who always wanted to move to texas it make me sad to see this. soon i'll need to reconsider texas to move to montana if sht like this continue
The cartel knew they were coming. You can bet on it.
Still glad to hear it. ❤
God bless Texas 🙏
Kinda sounds like neither US or Mexico tried to be particularly subtle on their approach, so they could get this exact outcome--island captured with zero resistance and no international incidents
@@adrianhenle still means that the cartels made sure to haul all of their drugs and guns off the island well in advance. but that's the tradeoff for not having a giant goddamn battle over the rio grande so i guess its fair.
My friend had to abandon his 300 acre ranch near the Texas border. He gave the keys to the ranch to the local sheriff because it was too dangerous to spend the night there, They would find dead bodies time after time, drugs, weapons, etc. So he still gets to pay his property taxes, but it is the Cartels who own his ranch.
Elections have consequences
This literally didnt happen.
@@gregclough966 Why?
@@gregclough966 You don't exist, your a robot.
Hello I just want to say I was one of the dead bodies found on his friends ranch and my friend was the keys to the ranch. so I can confirm this story is one hundred percent true!!!!
You know because I was there
Arizona ranger with his big iron on his hip, I heard was looking for a Texas red.....
On good authority, 2 teams of SF ANG w/2 Texas Rangers (observers) were the ones that liberated the island in question. The Governor had the Dept. of Military Affairs "assist" the DPS.
A realistic live fire exercise. Hoo-ah!
When has Mexico ever cared about its citizens?
Until the current president Lopez Obrador, that is working with America to improve the economies in Mexico and South America.
I am from Mexico and the president we have is surrended to the cartels and do not care for Mexican lives. So your question is smart.
Cartels are....hamas 😮
When USA 🇺🇸 recognizes the addictions problems and begins to follow its own drug lords, those who distribute throughout all the country or do you think Amazon distributes all the drugs? Of course not
Most of the drugs in USA passes through the border ports. corruption
When has the US ever cared about it's citizens?
Open Borders?
what is the footage of tge military aircraft that would NOT be part of anything down there.

As a German, I think Texas is the last true stronghold of what the usa was meant to be (according to the found fathers/constitution) a place where there is a lot of freedom, where your own choices decide how far you get and if you treat the country poorly, you will get the exact answer you deserve (as to be seen in this video)
Also a little personal note, the last German speaking Towns/Towns with German names are located in Texas ;)
Jesus when someone from a country without free speech says america is pussified you know it’s true lol
But don’t be discouraged there are a lot of US citizens that speak German even if you don’t think they do
As soon as I learned a decent bit of German I realized 4 people I’ve been around my whole life also did and I had no idea

I worked on a 29,000 ranch doing a remodel south of Marfa, really close to the border. We were told not to mess with anyone crossing the ranch, either a mountain lion hunter or mules and had a TX ranger at the gate in the middle of nowhere when we left. Crazy out there 🤣
