Killing the Texas Boaters Americans Won't Kill

Rio Grande Valley's KRGV television reports that another American was killed on Falcon Lake by an 'undocumented worker'.*

The frantic 911 call a wife made after her husband was shot by Mexican pirates has been released. It's a first hand account of those terrifying moments on the water as David and Tiffany Hartley came under attack. In the end only Tiffany would survive.

Dispatcher: Hello? Ma'am? Yes. Okay. Are you sure that your husband got shot?

Tiffany: Yes. In his head.

Dispatcher: Okay. Yeah. Was he thrown out of the jet ski that he's in the water or something?

Tiffany: He was thrown off the jet ski and I couldn't pick him up to get him on mine. (sobbing) Oh God.

Dispatcher: Ma'am? Were you shot at on the Mexican side or on the US side? So it was the Mexican Side. Okay, did you see anybody?

Tiffany: There were three boats.

Tiffany Hartley told deputies she and her husband David were jet skiing near the town of old Guerrrero. Hartley told investigators her husband was shot in the head and killed. She says she was forced to leave his body behind as the gunmen fired more bullets at her... Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. thinks those boats were pirates working for the drug cartel. He's been warning residents for months to stay off the water. The pirates are patrolling the Mexican side of the lake and robbing boaters at gun point. Gonzalez wants authorities in Mexico to search for David Hartley's body, however he thinks it may already be too late.

...Hartley did tell authorities after the shooting she got help from a man on shore... The good Samaritan wants to remain anonymous because he fears for his life...

"Three boats approached them, waving guns talking in Spanish," he said. "They got scared, spooked then they heard the gunshots going on. She could see they were hitting the water and the water was coming up at them...all of a sudden she sees her husband flying off."

Tiffany told him she turned around to go take care of her husband but two pirates went after her jetski. One pirate held a gun to her head. Once he left she tried to pull her husband body onto her jetski but she didn't have the strength.

...CHANNEL 5 NEWS has been tracking at least five violent incidents on the lake over the past 5 months.

-April 30th: Four heavily armed men boarded two boats near the Old Guerrero area demanding money.
-May 6th: Two armed men approached a boat near marker 14 and demanded cash.
-May 16th: Five armed men boarded a boat on the United States side of the lake near marker 7.
-Aug 31st: Falcon lake pirates, using a small boat marked "Game Wardin" tried to stop a Texas fisherman.

Then of course the worst violence incident to date happened on Thursday September 30th when David Hartley was murdered. Authorities say the robbers are believed to be members of a drug trafficking organization. They're heavily armed using AK-47s or AR-15 rifles to threaten their victims.

Rather than sealing the border and shutting down Mexican drug cartels operating with impunity in the southwest, the White House is instead suing Arizona and its law enforcement arms to prevent it from protecting American citizens.

Remember this outrage when you enter the voting booth in November.
