REMEMBER: DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said just last week–

“It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control. This statement — often made only to score political points — is just plain wrong.”

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

But that was last week.
Yesterday it was reported that Mexican cartels are taking over Texas homes.

Mexican cartels are setting up shop in North Texas.
CBS DFW reported:

Picture the perfect North Texas neighborhood. They are children running along the streets. The houses have beautiful lawns with manicured shrubbery. Big trees line the sidewalks. College fans show their true colors by flying flags showing their favorite teams.

But, if you take a much closer look at some middle-to-upper class North Texas neighborhoods, you may see a slight difference in some homes. The windows are sealed off with shutters that never open or dark-tinted windows. There is a mysterious silence that lurks around the home. What’s behind the closed doors of these house? No one would ever suspect- except maybe Ed Fox, who heads up the Volunteers on Patrol Program for the Prestonwood West Neighborhood.

“It not only took this one down, but about three others,” says Fox as he looks a former house that sold drugs. In the last two-years, Fox has alerted law enforcement to suspicious activity that’s taken down several houses for growing, manufacturing or selling drugs.

“It’s just scary…to know we were so close to something, something could really turn violent,” says Johnna Wolverton who lives behind one of the drug houses authorities raided. The mother of two small children installed the expensive barrier to protect her little ones after she became aware that dealers lived in the home.

CBS 11 has learned that the dealers used guns to protect the enormous amount of money and drugs found inside. A few blocks away, an undercover drug investigator takes CBS 11 to another house. It is a large ranch-style white house with a beautiful lawn. The house now belongs to another family, but the investigator, who did not want us to reveal his identity, said it looked just like this when it was a “grow” house.

Is the Mexican drug cartel’s presence increasing here in North Texas? “Absolutely,” says the investigator showing us around. He admits it is ‘scary.’ “They’ll do whatever it takes to get into your neighborhood and hide.”

“That’s where we are finding the high powered weapons,” says Constable Ben Adamcik, who says he has helped the Dallas Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration take down 40 of these homes in the last three years. It’s not common for Constables to get involved in this activity, but Adamcik is a former police officer and fighting drugs is his passion. The father and grandfather is determined to protect the children in the neighborhoods he protects.

But don’t worry. There is no need for concern. Janet Napolitano told us so.

    Napolitano is too late…Drug cartels issued their own warning months ago

    On Monday, despite the fact that the Mexican drug cartels already have an ever-expanding presence in this country, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitanoissued her now famous warning to those cartels, saying: “Don’t even think about bringing your violence and tactics across this border. You will be met by an overwhelming response.”

    However, seven months ago, Nogales, Arizona Police Chief Jeff Kirkham announced that his department had been warned by a Mexican drug cartel that his officers would be targeted for murder if they carry out another off-duty drug bust.

    During a 2 hour drive to a south texas deer camp the driver pointed out half a dozen houses that were drug related. The most auspicious were located at the edge of a poor town or well off the road with a high deer fence around. Fence, no neighbors and a house layout that supported defence were some of the trade marks. Msss Janet just needs to ask the local sheriff for information

    Now it’s obvious why we had to have “rolling blackouts” Wednesday when the blue Norther blew in. All of that “hydroponic pot agriculture” loaded up the the grid.
    Everyone was blaming Jerry Jones for trying to keep the temperature 70 degrees in his new stadium.

    Want this to stop? Call your rep and demand drones/troops/wall/cameras to the Mexican border now! The Republicans have the House. They need to be whipped into action.

    dunce commented:

    Given the history of the cartels murdering law enforcement people, it was foolish and dangerous to give the constables name. I have often seen reports of arrests at these type of houses but never see where they are charged with gun violations,why not? Illegal aliens can not buy guns or i would assume possess them.

    Wow, I know that neighborhood. Have several friends who live there and/or belong to churches there.

    I’m glad law enforcement is doing their best to stay on top of it.
