and the drug smuggling.

We had shifted our primary goal

To keep cartel activity

out of the country.

Our main priority is going after

the bad guys, these motherfuckers.

for years mexican drug

cartels have been waging a ruthless war

Over the lucrative drug and human

smuggling routes into the United States.

And the affect on our country

maybe just beginning.

The federal government is failing

the people of this country

And especially people

in border states.

do you think that

the federal government

Isn't complacent in this sh*t?

It's all lies.

It's government propaganda.

It's bullshit.

I mean it's not rocket science.

There's more people joining survivalist

groups, militias, now than ever before

Because they're scared

that the country's collapsing,

And a stand is going

to have to be made.

...Waiting for distribution

to other parts in the us.

people that come down

here have their own opinions

On why the border

needs to be secured.

Good night you guys.

I don't always agree

with everybody's views,

But I'm happy to have the help.

Oh, it's burning.

The reason I come down here

Is to do something about

having a porous border.

The truth is tall fences

make for better neighbors.

Especially if you have

conflicting ideas.

You wouldn't put two

pitbulls in the same pen,

And expect them

to get along and not fight.

Why would you put two

races in the same nation,

And expect them to get along.

when you join the

military you take an oath.

And that oath

is to defend the country

Against all enemies,

foreign and domestic.

And right now

I see this as an invasion.

the situations in mexico,

specifically, it's insane down there.

The villain is the cartels,

these smugglers.

they have

no regard for human life.

And I get asked a lot

by people, why do I do this?

And my question to them is,

If not me then who?

President

obama heads to mexico tomorrow,

But while mexico's

president hopes

To show off his country's

economic successes,

The ongoing war between

violent drug traffickers

And the growing movement

of armed civilians

Threatens to overshadow

the gathering.

estanislao beltrn torres

A member of the michoacn

self-defense group says,

"dr. Mireles' whereabouts are not going

to be made public for his security."

...Who's that, tim?

Taking

matters into their own hands,

The rise of cartel

violence and homicides

Have sparked an emergence

Of well armed vigilante groups.

those guys are

deeper down in mexico.

They are in the southern

mountains of michoacan.

They're taking back

What is theirs from the cartel,

And is nice to see

that they're standing up

And going back at them.

Oh you don't know who's who,
