Mexican Kidnappers Have Extensive Information on American Land Owners
This is not necessarily for publishing at Rantburg but is more of a headsup. These is a notification of things to come if the border situation does not improve.
We'll publish this. Our ranchers and their families must know this. If you're a Burg regular and live near the border, stay safe -- and preferably well armed.
Mexican kidnappers are gathering considerable information on the families of ranchers along the American side of the Mexican border. They are already calling relatives demanding ransom for relatives they claim they are holding. The family member then calls the person supposed to have been kidnapped to find that they have not been kidnapped.

This is a very common practice in Mexico where wealthy land owners are kidnapped and held for heavy ransoms. The alarming thing about this is that Mexican kidnappers now know a lot about the family trees of ranchers along near the Mexican border.
