Cartel Promises Violence If This Event Takes Place

There was going to be a protest today to block the ports of entry along the U.S. border but the event was called off by Stasyi Barth, one of the group's lead organizers. The event had its plugged pulled around 5:00 a.m., just hours before it was to take place.

Ms. Barth originally said that "an unsubstantiated threat of mass violence to attendees" would occur if the event took place.

Initially it was unclear who had made the threat but later more information revealed that it was a cartel that was threatening the carnage. "One of our organizers was being followed and was verbally told not to go," Ms. Barth told The Blaze.

The purpose of the protest was to show concern that elected officials in the U.S. and Mexico find solutions for the growing problem of illegal immigration. Barth, who is based in California, is concerned that the U.S. is losing its sovereignty and that our laws are being disregarded.

Law enforcement promised to deploy "whatever force is necessary" to keep the ports open during the protest, but it is by no means clear how they would go about investigating those threats of violence.

Of course it's obvious why the drug cartels want porous borders--it's good for business. But what about the influx of terrorism to the homeland? Right now it's easier getting into the U.S. from Mexico as an illegal alien than it is to get in as a U.S. Marine who admittedly made a wrong turn and had legal weapons in his car.
