MS-13 Actively Recruiting Illegal Alien Minors at U.S. Shelters
Judicial Watch ^ | July 10 2014 | Judicial Watch

The nation’s most violent street gangs—including Mara Salvatrucha—are actively recruiting new members at U.S. shelters housing illegal immigrant minors and they’re using Red Cross phones to communicate, a Homeland Security source tells Judicial Watch.

JW has reported extensively on the crisis created by the sudden influx of mostly Central American minors that have crossed into the U.S. through the Mexican border in recent weeks. It has created havoc and will end up costing American taxpayers billions of dollars to house, process, medically treat, feed and inevitably educate the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) which are being dispersed throughout the country. They are bringing in dangerous diseases—including swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis— and occupying our military bases as shelters.

As if all this weren’t bad enough, the invasion is also supplying the nation’s most dangerous street gangs with new soldiers. The Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the 18th Street gangs are on a recruiting frenzy at the various facilities housing the newly arrived illegal aliens, according to JW’s source. The MS-13 is a feared street gang of mostly Central American illegal immigrants that’s spread throughout the U.S. and is renowned for drug distribution, murder, rape, robbery, home invasions, kidnappings, vandalism and other violent crimes. The Justice Department’s National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) says criminal street gangs like the MS-13 are responsible for the majority of violent crimes in the U.S. and are the primary distributors of most illicit drugs.

The 18th Street gang is considered the largest organized gang in Los Angeles County with about 15,000 members that operate a number of criminal enterprises throughout the region. Last year ten of its leaders were indicted for running a large-scale methamphetamine and drug trafficking business in South Los Angeles. A local newspaper report about the case says 18th Street gang leaders deported from the U.S. in the 1990s helped spread the gang across Central America and into Mexico. It’s not unreasonable to conclude that some of the members are among the tens of thousands of UACs that have entered the U.S. recently.

In fact, last month the president of the Tucson Border Patrol Union, veteran agent Art Del Cueto, confirmed to JW that the UACs are not all little kids as the media was largely reporting at that point. Many are in their late teens and have possible ties to gang members, Del Cueto said. After seeing the first few batches of UACs, Del Cueto immediately expressed concern that the illegal aliens would be relocated in the U.S. with family despite affiliations with criminal enterprises.

That makes this week’s insider report of violent gangs openly recruiting UACs—with the help of phones provided by a well-known charity—all the more appalling. JW’s inside source is on the ground and has received first-hand reports from federal agents at the scene. “MS-13 and 18th Street gangs are actively recruiting new members at our detention centers,” the source confirms. “The new gang members then use the Red Cross phones to sign up.”

Obama’s and Holder’s sons.

The DO”J” and White House relish every murder,
every rape, every assault. Even of Ambassadors.

so we have two issues highlighted here: one, gang member’s families are crossing the border and undoubtedly will give cover to the gang members in the future, and two, there’s active recruiting, meaning there are takers, amongst a male teen population that claims to be fleeing from gangs.

There are only two ways to stop this invasion. One is a military coup. The other is citizen militia. And that’s only if the military and jack booted local cops would not fight for the invaders.

Yeah I haven’t missed the irony.

A few weeks ago the democrats were screeching about the horrifying epidemic of gun violence in America, now we’re a safe haven for poor “refugees” fleeing violence.

In related news the White House claims the film “Machete” is responsible for the border chaos and actor Danny Trejo is being sought for questioning.

Gangs control Chicago. The Mexican drug cartels own Chicago, and the municipal government.

So if the Mexican drug cartels own Chicago, then they own the mayor. And since baraq derived his power from Chicago, wouldn’t it make sense that they also control baraq?

What a country we have become.

The racist group La Raza is very influential in the Obama administration.

The city doesn’t really want to do anything about the gangs. It’s why their are so many shootings in Chicago. It’s gang related. But the city is ran by democrats and the democrats need the gangs to win elections.
