Cochise County Sheriff Larry Denver made this startling charge in an interview you can read at CNS News. If true, this means the government is ordering Border Patrol to cede vast swaths of the border to cartel paramilitaries and their Marxist allies. The reasoning is that it’s too dangerous and worse, may cause an international incident if more shootings happen:

(CNSNews.com) – Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz., one of four Arizona counties contiguous with the U.S-Mexico border, said Friday that the U.S. Border Patrol has pulled back from parts of the border in his and neighboring counties because manning those areas has become too dangerous.

“And you frankly have Border Patrolmen–and I know this from talking to Border Patrol agents—who will not allow their agents to work on the border because it is too dangerous,” Dever told CNSNews.com in a videotaped interview. “Now what kind of message is that for crying out loud?”

[…]

Dever said there were places where the Border Patrol had pulled back from the border in his county and in neighboring areas both in Arizona and New Mexico.

He pointed out that in Pinal County, 70 miles north of the border, the Bureau of Land Management has put up a sign along a drug smuggling corridor to warn American citizens away from the region because it is too dangerous.

CNSNews.com provided Customs and Border Protection with a transcript of Sheriff Dever’s statement about the Border Patrol pulling back from parts of the border in his area because it is too dangerous.

“There are areas down there in the Tucson Sector where for officer safety reasons, officers aren’t up on the line. For whatever reason–it may be a remote area,” said a CBP spokesperson. “We still have the means to detect entry, whether it is a sensor or a scoped vehicle. So the entry is detected, but the apprehension of the undocumented migrant isn’t affected until they reach a safe area.”

If the border to our country is not a “safe area” it is the Federal governments job to make it safe, no? How far back will U.S. forces have to move before people realize our country is in grave danger?

The Cartel’s influence spreads and will continue to destabilize civil society. Now they’re on our Northern border and the government still has no plan to deal with this transnational paramilitary.

From Arizona Lawman’s News and Phoenix Police Gazette:

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Northern Wisconsin’s Chequameqon-Nicolet
National Forest is a vast, verdant getaway for hundreds of thousands
of campers, hikers and anglers every year. But hidden within was a
marijuana megafarm.

Investigators say a band of Hispanic men turned the forest’s
southeastern tip into a giant pot farm, growing thousands of plants
on remote plots, moving supplies along forgotten logging roads and
buying supplies and ammunition at local stores.

Nobody in law enforcement has said it publicly, but the style matches
that of Mexican cartels that have been using public land in the
United States to grow vast amounts of marijuana and avoid the risk
and expense of smuggling the drugs across the border.

“There certainly is an element to this that leads one to believe
there is a Hispanic connection here,” Wisconsin Attorney General
J.B. Van Hollen said. He declined to elaborate.

According to court documents, investigators discovered nine plots of
plants in the southeastern tip of the Nicolet section after a person
noticed two Hispanic men preparing a grow site in the forest.

Federal, state and local police spent June and July tailing suspected
growers, following pickup trucks down abandoned logging roads and
watching Hispanic men appear in the trees and toss nylon sacks
resembling grain feed bags into the beds.

They followed one suspect to a Fleet Farm in Green Bay, where he
purchased six pairs of pruning shears. They watched another man
purchase 9 mm ammunition at a nearby Wal-Mart, documents said.
The suspected growers eventually led investigators to a house in
Seymour, about 15 miles southwest of Green Bay. According to court
documents, the house was a marijuana processing factory.

Green Bay is a hell of a trek from the border. But don’t worry, all the chaos from Mexico is being overstated to scare White people right?

Obama ignores him. From KXAN:

In a letter delivered to President Barack Obama Monday on the tarmac at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Gov. Rick Perry wrote, “The Mexican cartels have recently added a new deadly weapon to their arsenal: Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIED), which they use to attack their rivals and the police.”

Citing car bomb examples from recent weeks just across the Texas-Mexican border in Juarez and Ciudad Victoria, Perry received no immediate answer from the president. The governor urged federal action before Texas communities suffer the same fate.

“An unsecured U.S.-Mexico border is a serious national security threat, menacing the safety and security of our citizens, and the federal government is obligated to secure it.” Perry said Monday in Austin. “Our citizens deserve the best possible effort to protect them from this advancing network of criminal gangs.”

In recent years, Mexican drug cartels have threatened the safety of people living in border towns. The governor requested 1,000 Title 32 National Guard troops for Texas, in addition to other resources, and said 286 National Guard personnel along the 1,200 mile border were not enough.

“Since 2006, this war has taken 28,000 lives,” Perry included in his letter. “We cannot afford to allow these cartels to believe they’re free to extend their reach across the border onto American soil.”

Federal drug enforcement agents have told Austin officials during the last year these Mexican cartels are recruiting local gang members to push their products north into the U.S. So far, they have an increase in this practice in Austin , San Antonio and Houston.

Nothing new really. Biker gangs have used bombings for years. The problem is that cartel interface with Islamic terrorists have increased the lethality of the devices as well as the will to use them. Here’s a video report:

Another look at how the Americans on the border are besieged, but it also contains some interviews with illegals who have been victimized by the cartels Americans are happy to give free reign on the border to. As Gateway Pundit point out this is all one hour away from the border:

The woman featured in the video left a comment on The Westerner:

My name is Elizabeth Burns and that little boy in the movie is my son, Finn. About two weeks ago, we decided to abandon the ranch. It’s too dangerous and it’s not worth it. I have a youtube page and I have been interviewing the passing by illegals and filming the border patrol stuff. I made all the movies at the ranch myself. You might “enjoy” that inside view.

Her blog is here if you want to visit. But hey, the border’s secure right guys?

And they’re sending around a text message complete with an international number to put the word out. This is how little respect for American law these Mexican warlords have after more than a decade of America ignoring their predation. Right now they’re offering $1,000,000 for Maricopa County Sherrif Joe Arpaio’s head, and $1000 for any American who joins the Cartel:

I guess it’s too late for that fence:
