First Nation Reservation Grapples With
Transnational Crime

Original Article

Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 12/16/2025 10:06:53 AM

A First Nation reservation located in upstate New York and extends into Canada says it is grappling with transnational and illegal border crosser crime. One of its law enforcement chiefs came to Teas seeking help. (snip) His territory, which straddles the international border, has been the target of human, drug and weapons smuggling, along with other crimes. The territory borders the Cornwall Port of Entry, includes Cornwall Island and smaller islands on the St. Lawrence River, and a coastal region of Quebec. In the U.S., it borders Massena POE in upstate New York, and the northernmost points of Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties.

Comments:

Mexican drug cartels seek to exploit an Indian reservation which straddles the Canada-New York border. The cartels are also buying New York farmland along a river separating the US from Canada to facilitate smuggling. The reservation's police force is working with DHS to combat both threats.

What is the "First Nations" stuff? Sounds like more of that PC stupid and quite frankly insulting "noble savage" nonsense. These modern native Americans weren't the first here. Who even knows who was first? Humans have lived in North and South America for 10's of thousands of years, some even saying 33,000 years now. That is Paleolithic and around the time the last Neanderthal were still hanging out in places like Spain. What we do know is the ones still around today and their many many ancestors made war, slaughtered, and enslaved group after group of indigenous people, no different than Europeans in Europe.

#5: You can blame the Canadians for the "First Nations" newspeak. We don't use those terms in the US, preferring the more accurate "native American" term instead. So Mexican cartels are trying -- and having some success -- at buying up US farmland. No doubt they understand already that Canada will abjectly neglect their side of the border (the Liberal Party is bought and paid for by Chinese and Mexican drug cartels) while feigning benign neglect. But neglect it they will... because they are getting paid to facilitate the trade in illicit drugs in North America (in both Canada and the US). PDJT has called a spade a spade with respect to Venezuela. Same thing needs to be done with Canada.

#5 So that's the one thing that upset you most about the article? I would be less concerned about what they call themselves than what is actually happening. They are trying to keep the drug smugglers out, but they're not getting enough help, especially from Canada, for such a large area. But the most concerning thing is that drug cartels are buying up land along the St. Lawrence river. I will never understand why the US allows foreigners to buy land, especially those who are not our friends.

#7 Excuse me. Who said that was the only thing I find objectionable? But what exactly in this article is new? Oh, Canada is being neglectful of it's border with the US and allowing untold amounts of drugs and illegals to pass through it like the sieve it is AND the US is allowing foreign nationals to buy up our land and local people regardless of who they are pay the price. Not even remotely new. That has been the case for decades. I feel for anyone who is personally dealing with this but I also find the liberal Canadian mentality to be very much to blame for their own woes.

I think this is the St. Regis reservation, part of the Iroquois federation. It has been a trouble spot for decades. The term First Nation makes more sense than native american. Think about it.

"When the law demands three signatures on tabulator tapes and the county fails to follow the rules, those 315,000 votes are, by definition, uncertified."

The admission came during a Dec. 9 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) stemming from a challenge filed by David Cross, a local election integrity activist.

Earlier this month, the National Education Association held an “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice” event. Documents obtained by the education watchdog group Defending Education (full disclosure: I am on the group’s board) contained slides illustrating these neo- and xeopronouns. Neopronouns are “new” “pronouns” such as “xe/xem/xyr,” and other letters randomly shoved together. Xeopronouns are for “conceptual identities” such as “cat/cats/catself.” Got it? No?

The alleged perpetrators, as noted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who himself would love nothing more than to shift the blame onto inanimate guns, were inspired by ISIS. The attackers had an ISIS flag on the window of their car.

Leon did, however, put the Trump administration on “fair notice” that it should be prepared to remove below-ground changes if it were to alter the above-ground structure.
