In Glenn Beck’s new book, “Cowards,” the best-selling author, nationally syndicated radio host and founder of GBTV (Soon-to-be renamed The Blaze TV) touches upon nearly every hot-button issue facing America today in a read that is both compelling and frightening at times.
One of the chapters in the book focuses solely on the U.S. border, and while it isn’t exactly what one might consider “light reading” — and may leave you wanting to curl up in a corner somewhere — it is certainly an eye-opening account of what may really being going on along our southern border. You can get an immediate eBook of “Cowards” — click here.
Here are three of the most unsettling revelations about the border found in “Cowards.”
Mexican Drug Cartels are Here in America
Despite the fact that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says “the border is better now than it ever has been,” Beck argues that drug cartels are currently operating inside the United States and regardless of what the feds say, spillover violence is dripping across our southern border. And he has the evidence to back up his claim.
“According to the Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center, Mexican drug cartels have a presence–either direct or by proxy, in over one-thousand U.S. cities. Ninety percent of the illegal drugs consumed in this country come from our neighbor to the south,” Beck writes.
But even more disturbing than the fact that drug cartels own homes and operate front businesses in the U.S. is the reality of the brutal violence they bring with them.

DHS regularly uses cherry-picked statistics to make the case that big U.S. border cities are some of the safest in the country and therefore no spillover violence from Mexico exists. But according to Beck, these and other statistics are being purposefully manipulated to minimize the threat of cartels in the U.S., leaving a fuzzy and distorted image of their influence in America.
Here is the definition of “spillover violence” that DHS is currently using:
[S]pillover violence entails deliberate, planned attacks by the cartels on U.S. assets, including civilian, military or law enforcement officials, innocent U.S. citizens, or physical institutions such as government buildings, consulates, or business. This definition does not include trafficker on trafficker violence, whether perpetrated in Mexico or the U.S.
Glenn Beck
As Beck puts it, “In other words, if a drug cartel member beheads five rival drug cartel members in the middle of Dallas, DHS would not consider that to be ‘spillover violence.’” The book also notes that Napolitano likes to use crime statistics from only big border cities such as San Diego, El Paso and Nogales, Ariz., which are some of the safest in the county.
So why exactly is Beck so worked up about the spillover violence coming from Mexico’s drug cartels? He explains:
Well perhaps it’s about looking past the crime stats to the cartel member who was beheaded in his Chandler, Arizona, apartment for telling his drug bosses his drug load was seized, when in fact he had sold it and kept the money. Or the six-year-old boy who was kidnapped from his Las Vegas home at gunpoint because his grandfather owed a cartel more than one million dollars. Maybe it’s about the five men who were tortured and then killed by having their throats slit in northern Alabama by men working for the Gulf cartel. Or the Hidalgo County sheriff’s deputy in Texas who was shot three times while responding to a cartel-related kidnapping call. Could it be the shoot-out between Gulf cartel members that happened on a McAllen, Texas highway? Or maybe it was the dismembered corpse discovered on a rural Tucson highway, and the possible link to another dismembered body found two weeks earlier in Southern California near the Hollywood sign.
And these incidents, he says, are just a “drop in the bucket.”
Hezbollah in our Backyard
In a confidential memo issued in September 2010, the Tucson Police Department in Arizona reported on Hezbollah’s presence in Mexico and possible ties to Mexican drug cartels operating on the U.S.-Mexico border. The only reason we know about it today is because the document was later leaked by the hacker group LulzSec.
Alleged Hezbollah operations.
Though the report is unable to prove an official connection, Beck explains, the author of the memo mentions two specific incidents that seem to show Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization, is establishing a permanent presence in Mexico and slipping through our borders:
The arrest of Jameel Nasr in Tijuana, who was alleged to be tasked with establishing the Hezbollah network in Mexico and throughout South America, and the arrest of Jamal Yousef in New York City. Yousef owned a pretty decent weapons cache, including 100 M-16 assault rifles. 100 AR-15 rifles 2,500 hand grenades, C4 explosives and antitank munitions. He told police that the weapons, which were being stored n Mexico, had been stolen from Iraq with the help of his cousin, who was a member of Hezbollah.
In another incident, from May 2011, a local news station in San Diego interviewed a former U.S. intelligence agent (his name and agency were never mentioned) who said, “We are looking at 15 to 20 years that Hezbollah has been setting up shop in Mexico.” He also told the news station that Hezbollah is partnering with unidentified drug organizations, and that the group receives cartel cash and protection in exchange for Hezbollah expertise, “from money laundering to firearms training and explosives training.”
As if that isn’t alarming enough, Beck goes on to say that thousands of people affiliated with Hezbollah are living in the United States, some of them for quite a while.
He points to a 2008 raid on a Queens, New York warehouse where police confiscated $4.5 million worth of fake merchandise in the largest raid of its kind in U.S. history. New York investigators later revealed that the proceeds from the knock-offs were likely headed to Middle Eastern terrorist organizations.
However, if there is any silver lining in this scenario, Beck says it’s this: “there is no evidence than an operational member of a terrorist group–meaning someone toting a bomb, or actively planning to kill lots of Americans–has gotten into the United States via Mexico, yet.”
Feel better?
When it Comes to Drug Smuggling, Cartels Are Innovators
According to Beck, drug cartels specialize in four drugs: marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. The United Nations estimates the cartels make as much as $30 billion each year from drug sales.
As mentioned earlier, the U.S. gets 90 percent of its drug supply from Mexico, which would make us sort of a preferred customer of the cartels. And while a lot of the drugs come across the border hidden in secret trunk compartments or carried by “drug mules,” cartels have had to get creative in order to keep up with the demand. And right now, their business is booming.
The use of border tunnels, drug submarines and ultralight planes is becoming increasingly more common for drug traffickers who want to minimize the risk of being caught and get their drugs into the U.S.

Beck provides more details in his book:
More than one hundred cross-border tunnels have been discovered in the past decade, including seven major tunnels along the San Diego border with Mexico in the past five years alone, according to U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). Some of these tunnels are engineering wonders, with concrete-reinforced walls, ventilation systems, wired-in lighting, and track systems for transporting drugs quickly. Other tunnels are more like rabbit holes.
Drug subs can can be “multibillion dollar affairs” built by brilliant Russian engineers or just a cheaply built contraption that can barely make the trip, however, no matter what the price tag the subs can carry a lot of drugs.
Ultralights can carry about 250 pounds of drugs and one person. They can be hard to detect by radar because they fly just below it.
Some other methods have included stuffing a frozen shark with packages of cocaine and creating actual statues of Jesus made out of a plaster-cocaine mixture.
As Beck points out, “There is nothing quite like drugs and money to bring out maximum creativity in criminals.”

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 2:41pmWho cares? Drugs are fun, and I don’t see gangsters killing gangsters as a problem as long as they don’t target civilians. Since I don’t want to wash dishes or pick lettuce, I don’t give a hoot if some immigrants get through. Heck, if it wasn’t for illegal immigration, we wouldn’t have the great state of Texas in the first place. It was founded by guys who illegally immigrated to northern Mexico from the U.S. And as for Hezbollah. They’re like terrorism lite. Their political wing has grown bigger and more active than their military, and it’s working well for them. Thirty years ago when they were most active as terrorists, anyone in America or western Europe who vocally sided with Palestinians over Israelis would be shunned and denounced. They aren’t about to start blowing up Americans willy-nilly when they are steadily gaining ground on the political front.

The Anglo settlers were illegal immigrants from the U.S., and Texas would never have become a state without them.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 9:40pmYou are correct, Anglo-Mexican could be interpreted as an English Mexican, or someone who has descent from both ancestries. However it can also refer to an alliance between English or Anglo descended settlers and Mexican settlers who wished to overthrow the corrupt Mexican government to form their own Republic.

Report Post »What???? You are going to school me? OK. Historical news flash!!! Anglos came to Texas for cheap land and running away from debt or crimes they committed.and became loyal to the Spanish crown and then to the Mexican Republic. So they were not illegal aliens! They had to take an oath of loyalty. Anglos were Spanish and then Mexican citizens.There’s no other way to describe them until Texas fought for independence and the were called Texians and then Texans. Everything was already settled with little bustling communities through the Spanish missions and priests and trying to convert Indians in different parts of Texas.Many new Anglo settlers learned Spanish,converted to Catholicism, and intermarried with Spanish ranching families and conformed to the rules an regulations of the Spanish Crown and then the Mexican Republic. English was learned by the natives in what was Mexico through Anglos! It’s when they wanted to trade slaves and were basically forgotten by the Mexican government in the northernmost part of Mexico (Texas) that led to revolt. Yes, Anglos didn’t create a state, but a country, a Republic, at that time, but so did Tejanos, but I doubt you know who they are, right? Without them, the Anglos would not have prospered or even survived the Indians.Geez, I learned this in 7th and 8th grade Texas History! And you’re going to tell me how it is? Wow. You are definitely not a Texan.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 10:13pmAmazing. Chet?I would really like to know what you call White people who became Spanish subjects during the late 1700‘s to early 1800’s New Spain, France, and Mexico of what is now Texas? Simple, they were Spanish, French, or Mexican subjects/citizens. HENCE, Anglo-Mexicans in the later years of revolt. Please remember that we are mixed heritages especially here in South Texas. Look it up. Polish married senoritas. Senoritas married Germans. That how they rolled back in the day. Spanish, English, German, and Polish are still spoken here today. Anglos adapted even if they didn’t want to learn Spanish, they did if they wanted to get along with their new wives regardless of starting English speaking colonies. Hell, even Jim Bowie married a Spanish surnamed beauty. White doesn’t really mean Aryan down here. Even the Germans were as despised as Mexicans in Texas history as Texas grew. May I recommend, David Montejano’s “Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas 1836-1986″ The tone is angry, but then Texas has seen many historical highs,lows, and ugly growing pains and pangs over time. I‘d like to think we’re tougher and wiser for it.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 1:53amThank you for your “entertaining” history lesson. When Americans were invited to live in Texas with promised land and freedom that was an “invasion” you say? Then when Mexico went through one of their countless coups or changes of govt.- there were so many it’s hard to keep track – Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón decided he didn’t have to uphold those promises made to those Americans who had joined his nation in Texas. But as things usually go when dictators lie to Americans he was shown he would have been much better off by living up to the promises. But ticked off Mexicans have distorted this story for 170 years or so. And even now ignorant bozos believe the convoluted version of history purported by the Mexicans. They should about “Reconquista” and invade our country without an invitation. So far we haven’t kept our promise to toss them back across the border to where they came from. Personally I think we should toss them out in the middle of desert in N. Africa with one bottle for water and another to pee in. Why should Americans have all the fun of an illegal invasion. Lots of other countries could be just as happy as we are with cheap labor to do the work they won’t do. I guess no one told me I didn’t have to do that sort of thing because I did do it for years. I worked on a farm picking apples and other crops and I worked construction. But my children have no chance to do that work – the Mexicans are doi

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 12:54pmThe fact that Hezbollah is in America was reported by Steve Emerson over 10 years ago. He is an expert in terrorism, and now has to live in hiding because of what he has reported. The Mexican Mafia is in Arizona and they are scary. People (esp. democrats and the msm) think that Republicans are “racist” because we want the borders CLOSED. There are a slew of reasons to close the borders, including the terrorists that cross our borders, the drug cartels as well as illegal aliens that cross to come for a “better life” but end either costing US citizens a lot of money because of all of the freebies they get, or they become or continue being criminals (in AZ we have lost many police officers due to being shot by illegal aliens). So, it’s not about race, it’s about protecting US citizens, period.

If you check the back issues of Counter terrorism magazine, you will find where an AN-2 Colt aircraft in camo, still operational was on a beachfront airstrip on the baja peninsula. Only the DPNK still use the AN-2. Please follow up on this information.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 12:05pmIf CRAPPY DRUG ADDLED AMERICANS would stop using drugs there would be no demand. If we cut out Welfare so that drug users would have to spend their own noney on drugs instead of the extra money our Government gave them, usage would go down. If we started either locking up USERS forever or Legalize the drugs and tax it, there would be no problem either. Bottom line…The war on drugs has made the United States a Police State that reallly does not want to control drugs. It wants to control PEOPLE.
The war on drugs is a miserable failure, many Americans are pure idiot addicts and cause the demand. Either give it to them or start locking them up forever! Make up your mind.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 12:13pmGodless yuppies also fuel the drug trade. It isn’t just hookers and destitute junkies…there are many, many casual users in the middle & upper classes.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 12:24pmDon’t agree with legalizing it, but locking them up works for me. We have such a weak culture. Individuals avoiding real life is what makes the cartels wealthy.
Report Post »We make Mexico an offer and purchase it.
We crush the cartels militarily.
(With all the money we send to Mexico, it is blantantly clear that they really do not want the cartels destoyed.They just steal our money and buy Blackhawk helicopters and illegally fly over US airspace for SHOW.)
And we repeal NAFTA. You cannot have a truly secure border with it. Too much gets into the country under a legal guise.Especially from China. China to Mexico and BAM! It’s in America,lead, Bird Flu, TB, etc.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 12:26pmI agree, that is why I am an advocate of drug testing via hair, finger nail, blood, for anyone on any type of public assistance. Someone should have to prove they deserve the use of public money. All a freaking druggie will do is use the public money for drugs.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 1:51pmLife in prison for drug users would be a direct violation of the Eighth Amendment. Prohibition of drugs created the cartels. Regulation in place of prohibition would destroy the cartels as the majority of their profits come from drugs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an ideological dolt. The US Government created this monster through prohibition and the only way to kill it is to starve it economically. As long as drugs exist (they always will) people will use and abuse them. The idea that you can eliminate demand is a foolish notion. The drug market will always exist, there is nothing that we can do about that short of complete totalitarianism. The real problem stems from who the government chooses to have fill the demand; dealers, thugs, hard core criminals, gangsters, and cartels. If we decriminalize and allow the private sector to supply the demand with extremely tight regulations, the cartels, dealers, and even inner city street gangs will eventually die off. You may not like or agree with this, but facts are facts.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 2:15pmWow! Lots and lots of additional taxes and government controls in this group of posts. I thought this was a “conservative” site. Oh that’s rights, the taxes and controls are OK if they are only for the other people and not us. I get it. When I come across these types of postings it makes me very happy that I am neither a conservative or a liberal and choose to look at reality. Both groups are just too much in favor of government control. They only differ on what and who is going to be controlled.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 12:05pmAs a Phoenix resident, this comes close to home. The Feds continue to sue and harangue the toughest sheriff in the country, because he has the audacity to do the job they refuse to do….jail the intruders…We need to close the border. It’s a sieve. Thanks Beck for speaking the truth…..you seem to be the only one to do so.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 11:53amAlready well known of here Glenn; I live in the border state of AZ, and not much occurs that one can find out about if they wish or bother to do so. DHS is a terror enabling organization under Obama in the way of unsecured border, and the allowing of terrorists and drug cartels no end of freedom to cross.
