BREAKING: cartel members have reportedly been placing explosives along roadways in Tamaulipas.

Authorities in Brownsville, Texas have issued an urgent warning for travelers crossing the border between the United States and Mexico, as cartel members have reportedly been placing explosives along roadways in Tamaulipas.

Veteran: "It's a shame that those are images I thought I left behind in the combat zone in Iraq and Afghanistan, I never in a million years really thought that we would be seeing that so close to home."

Mexican authorities are complete useless as most of them are paid off by the cartels.
