I sure wouldn't bet my life on that.

The illegals themselves are probably not much of a threat, however; the coyotes that are leading them usually work for someone less understanding and do not take it lightly when someone interferes with their money making schemes.

The drug dealers are a threat regardless of which side of the border they are on. They don't stop when they hit the border, they keep going right across and will more than likely not be very happy if they see you watching them. They are risking a bunch of money and have no qualms about taking you out, especially if you are in the middle of nowhere and there is no chance of getting caught...which is usually the case. Once they reach the border, their journey is only half over. Mexico or USA, it doesn't matter, all they see is money and I would not want to be the one to cause them any paranoia.
A perfect example is the guy who got killed on his jetski just because he and his wife drove too close to a drug drop location(was an old bldg) on the Mexican side of the lake. If I recall correctly, they were, basically, in the middle of the lake, so that tells you how paranoid these people can get. You're not dealing with some crackhead working a downtown corner, these guys are the Mexican drug cartels. You know, the ones on the news because they beheaded and dismembered dozens of people, and murdered thousands more.

The best suggestion anyone can give you is to contact the regional I.C.E., Border Patrol and DPS offices and talk to them. They'd be able to give you better info than anyone on here could.

Good luck.

So you guys think south Texas is safe do ya?

Ya'll haven't been driving around on those roads down there with all the crazy Eagle Ford play truck drivers. Speed up and play their game, or move over or get run over it's you're choice.

That'll teach you to obstruct progress. The oilfield gets things done. This ain't no union. Keep up or get mowed down. Haha.

That's not what happened with the falcon lake case at all.

Why post something if you don't know the facts?

I work with DHS. And if you want the skinny on the real facts vs hype pm me. I also operator my outfitting business almost solely out of south Texas. I'll say this "better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it!!!!"
