I just received this from ALIPAC. I tried to find the story on KRGV Channel 5, but it wasn't there. So if anyone else finds a back up story please post it.
Friends of ALIPAC,
We have breaking news out of Mexico and Texas. A U.S. consulate has been bombed in Mexico! Illegal alien and drug-importing assassins are threatening U.S. lawmakers and their families in Texas, while the White House continues to refuse to deploy National Guard troops to the border.
In fact, the Obama administration continues to focus Homeland Security on the hopes of Amnesty legislation passing for millions of illegal aliens, instead of protecting American property, health, security, wages, jobs, and lives from terrorists and illegal immigration.
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid refused to meet with American taxpayers recently, but found the time this weekend to promise his army of illegal aliens in Las Vegas that Comprehensive Immigration Reform AMNESTY will be pushed and passed starting next week! He said they would pass the Amnesty legislation "just like the health care bill".
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) made the same promise to a large mob of illegal aliens and their supporters as well, while the illegals plan more "mega marches" against our nation on May 1!
TAKE ACTION NOW AND SPREAD THE WORD.
Bomb explodes at U.S. Consulate in Mexico
Published: April 11, 2010 at 9:29 AM
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico, April 11 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, has closed indefinitely after somebody hurled an explosive device over a fence, officials said.
The device detonated Friday night, shattering windows in the consulate, across the Rio Grande from Laredo, Texas, but no one was injured, the U.S. embassy said.
The consulate said in a statement on its Web site it "will reopen when we are confident that we have adequate security to keep our visitors safe."
The New York Times reports the incident has renewed fears that violent Mexican drug traffickers may be targeting the U.S. government, which has supported President Felipe Calderon's anti-drug crusade.
The Mexican Attorney General of the Republic said it was looking at security-camera video and examining other evidence but did not give details about the device, which exploded about 11 p.m. local time Friday.
The incident comes after the shooting deaths last month of three people, including two Americans, linked to the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, another town beset by violence and drug trafficking.

Explosives tossed at US embassy in Mexico

Assailants hurled an explosive device at a United States consulate in a northern Mexico border city, damaging windows but causing no injuries, the consulate said on Saturday.
The device was thrown over a wall surrounding the consulate in Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Laredo, Texas, on Friday night (local time).
The consulate said in a statement it would be closed indefinitely.
It was the latest attack on US consulates and consulate staff in Mexico.
Suspected drug hitmen killed three people linked to the US consulate in Ciudad Juarez last month, provoking outrage from US president Barack Obama and putting new pressure on Mexico to stop the growing violence.
Gunmen also threw a grenade at the US consulate in Monterrey in 2008.
Drug violence is raging across Mexico and almost 20,000 people have died in the fight among cartels and with Mexican security forces since president Felipe Calderon launched his army-led crackdown on drug gangs in late 2006.
Nuevo Laredo and the surrounding state of Tamaulipas have seen a surge in drug-related violence since the start of the year as the Gulf cartel fights its former armed wing, the Zetas, for smuggling routes into the United States.
The violence is scaring off tourists and worries Washington, which is giving anti-drug aid, equipment and police training to Mexico.
Some investors have frozen investment in factories in cities on the US border, especially in Ciudad Juarez, the most deadly spot in the drug war.

Nuevo Laredo, Mexico (AHN) - A small bomb was thrown over the wall of the United States Consulate in Mexico Friday night. No one was injured in the blast.
The attack in the border city of Nuevo Laredo was the latest reminder that Mexican drug gangs are targeting U.S. interests because of Washington’s backing of Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s anti-drug campaign.
The New York Times reports that the consulate and offices nearby in Piedras Negras would be closed indefinitely starting Monday.
Mexican law enforcement officials said they will review security camera video from the consulate in an attempt to gain leads to determine who was behind the attack.
Friday’s attack was the second in less than a month on a U.S. consulate in Mexico. The Consulate in Ciudad Juarez was attacked by gunmen, who killed three people on March 13.
