As Gomer Pyle USMC might say “Surprise, Suprise, Surprise”.
Declaring war on the cartels and surprised they will not stay in Mexico to fight back? How “War on Terror” OVER THERE of you.
I suspect the cartels being businessmen will wait a bit to see how we react and if we back off or not before a more impressive wide-ranging terrorism.
Sadly, the legal law abiding Spanish looking citizens will suffer in public ignorance if this becomes more widespread.
Who locked up the Japanese citizens for WW2?

I don’t understand your point.
The Cartels setting off IEDs is nothing more than terrorism, and the US should respond with overwhelming force. Create a 10 mile wide ‘no go’ zone south of the border, with the inside of that zone being a free fire zone. If it doesn’t work, make it 20 miles. Sooner or later, they will get the point.

Apparently, the rancher has property on both sides of the border. The rancher is a US citizen, so there’s that. The reporting indicates the incident occurred south of Brownsville… that very likely means in Mexico.
All of that being said does not mean there isn’t a problem with the cartels encroaching into the US. The border must be closed completely; nothing in or out anywhere along the border. Period.
Those on the border should be shielded from prosecution in protecting themselves and their property from illegal aliens.

Wow, last thing I expected from you friend.
NO 100’s of miles of ocean between the “War on Terror” and homeland.
Plenty of Mexican Nationals INSIDE the USA even as far north as Maine.
And you figure we can “Establish” a 10-20 mile free fire zone and Keep OUT what already live here?
Terrorism is by definition attacks my unknown persons (no uniforms etc) upon Non-military targets INSIDE the area of combat.
OUR Walmart’s, our grocery stores, our power grid and water treatment plants.
Area of combat is all 50 states, Divemedic.
AND thus, the law abiding Spanish looking neighbors that are not currently involved in this terrorism will be under suspicion of being “Mexican and thus terrorist” just like the Japanese citizens during WW2 and the camps.
As the British found out in the “Troubles” of Ireland Terrorism isn’t really a military situation. The Troubles stopped when the politicians made the IRA part of the government. They are a political party even today IIRC.
Going to get messy. And a lot of otherwise law-abiding good neighbor Spanish looking are going to be caught up in the troubles. SOME might enlist as they are already treated as one anyway. Seems that problem has troubled the US Military even in Afghanistan and Iraq, where “Blue on Green” surprise attacks occurred with “Trusted and Vetted Troops”.

Start summary executions of ALL illegal invaders and ALL of those who support and defend said invaders, and then see how long this problem lasts.

TCK please name ONE country that worked in.

I recall a whole lot of people on social media talking about how the US doesn’t want to go up against the cartels. How it will lead to massacres on the US side. With the people backing down after the raped and murdered corpses of American family are hung from an overpass in Mayberry USA. Along with September 11 type body counts after attacks at sports stadiums.
I’m kind of skeptical though. We rounded up everyone with a Japanese ancestry after Pearl harbor and unleashed the sun on two major cities. After 9/11 we overthrew several countries and bombed the shit out of them until we got bored twenty years later. I’m pretty sure after a mass casualty event and cartel massacres of US children a few things will change.
1) You won’t hear Spanish on this side of the border for a while.
2) Day labor will go from Mexican to some other ethnic groups.
3) The cocaine trade will transition from Mexican cartel dominance to another organized crime syndicate of another ethnic persuasion.

The cartels building their own wall to slow down any military is tactically smart since we are making a big fucking show of this BEFORE any actions. If Trump is serious no one should know shit before things start blowing up or Big Pedro of the sinaloa cartel suddenly eats a 338 Lapua while eating his breakfast burrito. But the big question to me is what type IED was it. A plain old contact mine or was it radio controlled? That will tell you what this was about. A left behind contact mine is them starting defensive protection and this wasn’t targeted. But a radio det says there is more to this and it WAS targeted to that rancher for a reason.
DM is correct, either shutdown the border period, or setup a safe/free fire zone, if things continue then expand it and keep expanding it until the point is made. If you shutdown the border then also shutdown ANY money transfer from US to Mexico. Cash from Illegals here is the #2 source on income for them behind Oil and gas.

This incident happened in Mexico, well south of the border. Personally, I wouldn’t classify this incident as occurring “near Brownsville” (it’s about 70-80 miles south of the border).
