Murder in Rio Grande Valley: ‘This Is Coming to a Town Near You’

TownHall – by Michelle Malkin

The voice on the other end of the line is exasperated. “It’s insane,” he wants America to know. “We’re in a war zone.” And there’s no room for apathy.

“This is coming to a town near you,” he warns.

The man on the phone is a veteran of the Department of Homeland Security who works in South Texas. He reached out to me Monday night in the wake of an off-duty U.S.  

Border Patrol agent’s horrific murder on Sunday. The 36-year-old agent, Javier Vega Jr., was shot execution-style in front of his wife, his parents, two of his sons and another child in the Rio Grande Valley. Vega’s father was also shot but survived. They were on an idyllic family fishing trip before being robbed and ambushed.

The two suspects are Mexican nationals from Matamoros. “They’re here illegally,” my source said with a weary sigh. And not just that. They had been previously deported after committing other serious crimes, he says. “But we just drop the thugs off at the border, and they come right back.”

The National Border Patrol Council issued a moving statement after a middle-of-the-night manhunt led to the capture and confessions of the two suspects this weekend:

“Agent Vega was armed and fought back to protect his family. During the course of the ensuing firefight Agent Vega’s father was hit in the leg and Agent Vega was mortally wounded. After Agent Vega fell, his family members continued to fight back. Agent Vega’s actions were in keeping with the finest traditions of the United States Border Patrol and his will be a place, deserved of honor and glory, when the final story of the United States Border Patrol is written.”

The White House and U.S. Chamber of Commerce may not speak up, but the NBPC gave the law enforcement officers on the border their just recognition: “We want to commend the Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers involved in the manhunt for Agent Vega’s killers. It is through their professionalism and tenacity that the wretched animals who committed this crime will face the full measure of Texas justice.”

No doubt the bleeding hearts will take offense at wretched animals being called what they are. I can hear “progressives” whipping out their overdrawn race cards as I type.

That’s all they’ve got.

  1. They are roaming the streets where I live in rural, no where USA. I suppose those corporate farms need some cheap labor for harvest, you know, the jobs Americans don’t want. Everyone turns a blind eye and they also know these people are illegal. Yes, the fat cats pull it off with and handshake and a wink down at the Masonic Lodge. These corporate farms own housing that they refer to as “My Mexican House” and laugh about it. Then they take a good portion of the slave wages for housing the illegals. What a scam. In the mean time, these illegals are driving cars around killing people while drunk, robbing people blind breaking into houses, and they stink to high Heaven. Welcome to America!

    1. Just wait about six more years when they become the majority in the now Communist America. They will be making laws to legally take what you own, take your jobs and even kill you……..oh I forgot they’re already doing that!
