67 arrests in Atlanta shut down 2 Mexico drug rings
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | 12/07/07 | Rhonda Cook

Posted on 12/08/2007 6:36:38 AM PST by panthermom

Federal authorities said Friday they shut down two major Mexico-based drug operations that were using Atlanta as a hub for trafficking marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine up the East Coast.

By late Friday, 88 suspects had been indicted and criminal complaints — charges brought until an indictment is returned — had been brought against another 25.


TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Mexico; News/Current Events; US: Georgia
KEYWORDS: aliens; atlanta; cocaine; criminalaliens; drugtrafficking; elseniorleroy; illegals; meth; wod
Nahmias said many of those arrested may have been in this country illegally.

Gee, ya think?

My brother was APD and he had told me a while back that Atlanta has become a major distribution hub and that the meth labs here supply most of the country.

In a series of searches, authorities said, law enforcement officers from 300 agencies

300 agencies!!!

Wow, 300 award ceremonies, 300 speeches, 300 rubber chicken dinners, 300 attaboy, 300 agencies pushing paper, 300 agencies for scum sucking lawyers to find a minor technical loopholes to send their "clients" to freedom

Don't misunderstand me, I'm glad these drug pushing illegals are behind bars, but just how do 300 agencies get involved?

Who is Atlanta kidding? The illegals are only here to do the jobs Americans will not do. The illegals are not involved in illegal activity. How do I know this? Because if the illegals were actually doing something illegal, our Federal Government would step up to the plate and do something. Right? Take away all Federal Funding from Atlanta. Atlanta has lost their collective mind by actually saying illegals are committing illegal acts. Woe be unto Atlanta. The Feds will not be happy. I expect an emergency meeting of the Congress to take action against Atlanta, so a message can be sent by the Feds to Atlanta, of 'Let My People Go.'

I expect emergency legislation out of our Congress, in DC, declaring the Citizens of Atlanta should be declared citizens of a Foreign Nation, and deported. Woe be unto Atlanta for this act of forcing the illegals to obey the Law.

Yeah, but there are American citizen drug dealers, too, so it really doesn’t make any difference if we allow foreign illegals to come here and peddle drugs. You’re just a racist, a xenophobe, a nativist, a bigot, and you’re tolerant of drug peddling as long as it’s being done by people with white skin.

(Sorry, I don’t really believe any of that, but I just wanted to get it out of the way before the usual suspects come along and make those claims!)

Our ruling classes want illegals here, for a variety of reasons. A nation is sick indeed when its government cares more about illegal aliens than it does about its citizens.

Or when a presidential candidate cares more about illegal aliens than about the country’s citizens.

I’m not part of any agency yet, I could take any one of these agencies and show them exactly where the criminal activity is. It amazes me that these criminals don’t even hide it. They tag everything. The road leading to my neighborhood was tagged on numerous fences over Thanksgiving with the Latin Kings, a fine bunch of immigrants. Oh and across town there are neighborhoods that literally have MS-13 written at the entrances yet they just go about their daily lives of crime.

I travel through Atlanta and Gainesville, two major Illegal Hives. Sure you see the little clunky cars and a woman pushing a stroller, pregnant, with 5 other kids under the age of six(Anchors), in tow.But you also see 5’ tall mexicans decked out in expensive western gear,driving Escalades($50-68000k) with naked Aztec princess murals on the back,brand new F250s ($46-56000)and Suburbans.If they aren’t into drugs, stacking stone is the business to be in!They really got the flat tax thing worked out.
By the way, latin’s like to stare slack jawed at the girls that work for me when we go to Home Depot, I now return the the favor when I see a latin woman,no matter how unattractive.

Doing what was just proposed will get one arrested in America. How is it, that American Citizens do not understand yet? This land is not our land, This land is not your land, it belongs to the Mexicans from NY to the deep south of Florida. From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters, from the Mexicans border to border of Canada, it is time Americans understood, this land doesn't belong to you or me.

I drive on Buford Hwy in Dekalb to get to work, they have the Latin American Association building right there and they offer Free Spanish Classes, isn’t that nice of them? They also have a bus service that caters exclusively to the mexicans. If ICE did a raid on that one little strip from North Druid Hills to the Fulton Cty. line they’d have to bring semis.

I am so over name calling, to me the people that do are ignorant. I am comfortable in the fact that I am an American, I just want my children to grow up and be proud of their heritage and their country. I don’t want to live in a third world country. I want to be able to know and communicate with my neighbors. While I know that there are enough criminals who are American, I don’t think we should be importing more. I still believe in respect over tolerance. Respect is something that is earned. I cannot respect anyone that lies and cheats. So if that makes me a bigot, racist, nativist and xenophobe, so be it.

Thanks for getting it out of the way.

Yes we are an occupied state along with many others. It is right in your face too. When I read about illegals living in the shadows I cynically chuckle because they are everywhere. Georgia has enacted a pretty tough stance on illegals but they seem like they are going to dare anyone to do anything.

Hey El Presidente Calderon . . . maybe you should worry about the conduct of your people here rather than preach to us.

You have to be very careful about looking at a Mexican’s wumen. It’s fine for him to check out every gal that passes within 50 feet of him, but (shutter the thought) of someone( especially a gringo) admiring one of his ‘’mammas’) or even stare too long at him. It’s pretty common here in the Lone Star State for either a knife or a gun to appear and after a few choice words one might get stabbed of shot.

Why are there 300 agencies?

Are there 300 cities/towns with drug problems on the East Coast? Maybe

Are there 300 counties with drug problems on the East Coast with drug problems? Maybe.

Are there 300 states with drug problems on the East Coast? No.

But city/town police departments were probably involved. Sheriff departments of various cities were involved.

And various state agencies might be involved.

Let us just consider Tennessee to the North of Georgia...

There are 5 to 7 major cities that might have drug problems...

There might be 10 to 20 counties that might have major drug problems around these major cities...

There maybe another 30 to 40 agencies (Police Departments, Sheriff Departments) that may have drug problems.

So there might be 70 agencies in Tennessee alone -- maybe no.

On the Federal level, it would be FBI, DEA, Pentagon, Federal Marshalls Office.

Why the Pentagon? There is a reason for them to be involved, and my cousin who is former USAF could tell you that, but he is in Iraq now...

Why are illegals being degraded? Illegals never do anything wrong. Heck, just look at the number of illegals in our nation. These people are our friends. The illegals mean us no harm. Besides if the illegals were actually doing something illegal, our leaders would remove them, wouldn't they? Well no, our leaders would not remove them. It could cause an uprising by the illegals, obeying the law, and get people shot, stabbed, or murdered. No Americans have died yet, from this invasion. Everyone sit back and enjoy the ride. All of us need to come to our senses. Ignore common sense. Common sense lies. Common sense says, do something, but all know little or nothing is being done. Go with the flow of the rising tide. Do not worry.....since only a few of us know how to swim. Our elected and those running for President will lead us, even if those leading will do nothing...heck, it is only more of the same, and more of the same is good for America. How do I know this? LaRaza, CAIR, and other assorted organizations constantly tell me.
