Christián Antúnez chokes back a scream as the nurse sticks a needle above his left eyebrow. "Ay, Mamá!" he shouts. "It really hurts."

"Don't move," the nurse tells him, sticking him again and again with anesthesia.

He pleads for a break. At least four other men, all covered with tattoos, are taking needles around him, on their arms and legs, backs and chests. The whining rises from the chairs. One man has a tattoo on his scalp. Another has one over his top lip. Yet another on his neck. Mr. Antúnez, 22, has them everywhere.

The men have all come to this makeshift clinic in a neighborhood ravaged by street violence for a desperate and disfiguring kind of healing: to have their gang tattoos removed.

Well, they will work for less money than our native gangsters...

Is this what Bush means when he talks about "willing workers matched to willing employers?"

During the last decade an average of 616 per year homicides were gang related in LA county, add New York and other US cities and the number would dwarf the recorded deaths in war torn Israel where the average rate per year is about 1000 which is about the same as the total casualties the full 2 year Iraq conflict.

Yet, over and over we hear the media debate critique and ponder for hours on end, while activists pour money and sponsor rallies with millions regarding these other places while the large terrorists gang problem from the illegal invasion right here on our own soil is being ignored !!!!
