State Officials: Spillover violence already happening (how about some security?)

MCALLEN - State law enforcement officials say spillover violence is happening.

The state defines spillover as anything that includes violence or crime with a cartel connection.

The Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety Steve McCraw says some of the violence can be measured because it goes unreported.

"From our definition it's very simple. The state of Texas defines spillover violence as Mexican cartel related violence that occurs in Texas. We include aggravated assault, extortion, kidnapping, torture, rape, and murder," says McCraw.

The federal government has a different definition for spillover violence. It defines it as violence as a deliberate or planned attack by cartels or their US counterparts.

There is no money for security.  And we don't need a law like AZ.  Didn't you get the memo????

If he really said that, that way, he's got a bad case of brain worms.
