Mr. Hector Farias of Laredo, spoke with me on the phone this morning about this matter. He told me the first he heard of this story was when he was contacted by the FBI. He has owned this ranch for over 30 years and has never had a problem on his ranch regarding illegal immigration or smuggling. He stated he was at his ranch over the weekend and everything was fine there and in the entire area. The story on the internet states that he was confronted by drug cartels. He said this is not true. There is no reason not to take him at his word. <br />� Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:08:46 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/mfrazier/2010/07/26/the-msm-in-the-fog-of-war-whats-going-on-in-laredo-tex/#IDComment89166018 http://bigjournalism.com/mfrazier/2010/07/26/the-msm-in-the-fog-of-war-whats-going-on-in-laredo-tex/#IDComment89001248 i have been out here all this time. this whole thing is a hoax. im hearing here locally that it all started when a city councilman did an interview on thursday with a mexican blogger and he told him that two ranchers with land along the river had gotten into an argument, and also that the violence in nuevo laredo had become very very bad lately- this is true.. whatever you do do not cross the border thru laredo right now.
