The incident took place in Texas, but the men were not found
Snip
'EXCLUSIVE: Fox News has obtained images that show suspected cartel gunmen coming across the U.S. southern border in Texas toting body armor and rifles ' the latest instance of armed men believed to be cartel members at the border.
Law enforcement sources tell Fox that the three men were spotted on Saturday evening by cameras in the Fronton area and were seen carrying rifles and wearing body armor as they move through the brush.
Border Patrol agents, including the agency's BORTAC tactical unit, were deployed to the area but found nothing. It is the same area where law enforcement arrested five suspected members of the Northeast Cartel in June.'
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/images-show-men-a...You can thank President Biden, the darling of the dems and the left for the trash Biden is inviting into our Country. Perhaps they will head for NYC or Chicago and finish taking control of those cities now that there are thousands of illegals there who will kowtow to them.
Who in their right mind would vote for Biden?

LurkerMom: Law enforcement sources tell Fox that the three men were spotted on Saturday evening by cameras in the Fronton area and were seen carrying rifles and wearing body armor as they move through the brush.

Huh.
Dope1 brought this story here a couple of days ago in a tweet by Bill Melugin and there were things about it that seemed odd to me at the time. For example, why is one of the men in a polo shirt, not body armor? And he's wearing a backwards baseball cap? And both your article and Dope1's Bill Melugin tweet point out that the men were seen in "the same area where law enforcement arrested five suspected members of the Northeast Cartel in June" so the area was under surveillance but "Border Patrol agents, including the agency's BORTAC tactical unit, were deployed to the area but found nothing."
So Fronton, TX is a heavy cartel area with significant drug smuggling but, what, they just let these three guys wander in?
Weird.
And in the Dope1 tweet, the five men who were previously captured in June look like they don't have a dollar between them with their raggedy boots and clothes.
Back in 2022, Trevińo Chávez, the reported leader of the Northeast Cartel, was arrested. He had been a top focus for both Mexican and US officials. As of July 2021, he was the most-wanted man of a joint effort between the two governments known as the "Se Busca" initiative.
Anyway, three suspicious armed men has got both Dope1 and LurkerMom all titillated. Neither was relieved by or spoke of the 50% drop in border crossings but three guys crossing a known smuggling route has them both giddy with excitment.
No surprise: both are Fox junkies (Bill Melugin is a Fox reporter and was the main source for Tucker Carlson's border issue "news" before Fox booted him).
LurkerMom: Who in their right mind would vote for Biden?
Me.
I mean who in their right mind would vote for a rapist who stole the nation's top secrets -- including TOP SECRET//SCI and HCS-P/SI/TK documents -- and is charged with 32 felony counts of willful retention of national defense information in violation of the Espionage Act and 6 felony counts of obstruction-related crimes under 18 U.S.C. § 1512 and 18 U.S.C. § 1519 plus 2 felony counts of false statements under 18 U.S.C. § 1001.
And under indictment for the January 6 insurrection, charged with 2 felony counts (including one conspiracy count) of obstructing an official proceeding under 18 U.S.C. § 1512, 1 felony count of conspiracy to defraud the United States under 18 U.S.C. § 371, and 1 felony count of conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241.
And under indictment for falsifying business records in connection with a payoff to Stormy Daniels, charged with 34 felony counts of New York Penal Law § 175.10: Falsifying business records in the first degree.
Next week he'll likely be charged with multiple felonies in Georgia.
Gee, there was a time when an investigation and the possibility of an indictment was disqualifying for republican voters.
Today, though, what, 70 or so felony indictments and counting and they don't even blink an eye.

Oh yawn....You only see, hear the news your liberal outlets either skim over or do not report on at all. So what do you know? I'll answer that for you, Nothing.
So please left, stop bothering me with your nonsense dictated to you by your dem masters.

Every once in a while I will turn on Fox News to see what they are talking about or get their take on certain events, since I do recognize that my news sources carry biases as well, of varying levels.
A couple nights ago I switched on Fox News just to see what was going on, and they spent 20 minutes trashing the character of Megan Rapinoe for missing her penalty kick. It was the lead story of the show that came on, and in fact the only story. They were still going on and on when I turned it off, figuring 20 minutes was plenty more than enough of my time to spend on it. Even Laura Ingraham, while admitting she knew nothing about soccer, did it because her guest (who did at least know a little bit about soccer) did it and if he said it, it must be correct, right? At least that's what Laura said plainly.
What a colossal waste! Don't they have something better to talk about, something of actual importance? I guess not. This must have fit their narrative better than any real story. Megan must have really gotten their goat at some point, because they were sure trying to get hers.

Mostly it is a terribly cynical business model. They know what gets their ratings up...it's whatever most enrages their viewers. Look at LM for a classic example of how well this works. Those people are easily manipulated.
The pervasive cynicism in the RW media is obvious. And they could care less if they destroy the country. In their vision of the future I suppose they see themselves as beneficiaries if a Putin style kleptocracy.

Me too. I also listened to Rush Limbaugh occasionally to understand what was infecting some of my friends and family. It's clear that Fox manufactures and markets outrage. The ad mix speak clearly to the gullibility of the target audience: poor grade gold vendors, 'patriot' schwag, ED pills.....

Weird.Perhaps you should join forces with the Border Control and learn for yourself how you can help and stop this from happening instead of rebuking their efforts unappreciative by the left.
And in the Dope1 tweet, the five men who were previously captured in June look like they don't have a dollar between them with their raggedy boots and clothes.Oh boohoo, the question is what are their intent for illegally entering America?

As of July 2021, he was the most-wanted man of a joint effort between the two governments known as the "Se Busca" initiative. Oh good, one down and how many more to go?
'These are the drug lords behind Mexico's most powerful cartels'

Neither was relieved by or spoke of the 50% drop in border crossings but three guys crossing a known smuggling route has them both giddy with excitment.Really? You're all giddy cuz the illegal border crossing dropped by 50%, but say nothing of the millions and millions of illegal aliens since Biden's welcome mat was put in place?
'Border arrests surged in July, a blow to Biden migration plan'
Snip
'Illegal crossings along the U.S. southern border jumped more than 30 percent in July, according to preliminary U.S. Customs and Border Protection data obtained by The Washington Post, dealing a blow to President Biden's new immigration enforcement strategy at a time when his policies are facing multiple legal challenges.'
https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2023/08...How Many Illegal Aliens Are in the United States? 2023 Update
Snip
'As of June 2023, FAIR estimates that approximately 16.8 million illegal aliens reside in the United States. This is significantly higher than our January 2022 illegal alien population estimate of 15.5 million.[1] This estimate is also a 2.3 million increase from our end-of-2020 estimate, meaning the illegal alien population increased 16 percent nationwide during just the first two years of Joe Biden's presidency.'
https://www.fairus.org/issue/illegal-immigration/h...I mean who in their right mind would vote for a rapistWho in their right mind would vote for a disgusting lecherous pig who forces his way in the shower while his daughter is showering? God only knows what Biden's intents were.

And if so? So what. There are a number of good conservative presidential candidates who will be worthy of being our next President.
