Welsh Zetas would never resort to violence. Marrying short men maybe, but never violence.

MEXICO CITY – A team of rogue Mexican commandos blamed for dozens of killings along the U.S.-Mexico border has carried out at least three drug-related slayings in Dallas, a sign that the group is extending its deadly operations into U.S. cities, two American law enforcement officials say. The men are known as the Zetas, former members of the Mexican army who defected to Mexico's so-called Gulf drug cartel in the late 1990s, other officials say. "These guys run like a military," said Arturo A. Fontes, an FBI special investigator for border violence based in Laredo, in South Texas. "They have their hands in everything and they have eyes and ears everywhere. I've seen how they work, and they're good at what they do. They're an impressive bunch of ruthless criminals."
Dallas and federal officials said that since late 2003 eight to 10 members of the Zetas have been operating in North Texas, maintaining a "shadowy existence" and sometimes hiring Texas criminal gangs, including the Mexican Mafia and Texas Syndicate, for contract killings. The Texas Syndicate is a prison gang that authorities blame for several murders statewide. The Zetas' activities in North Texas were described in interviews with two U.S. federal law enforcement agents, two former Drug Enforcement Administration officials, a former Dallas undercover narcotics officer and two undercover informants. "We're aware of the Zetas' threat to U.S. cities, and we consider it a growing threat," said Johnny Santana, a criminal investigator for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Office of the Inspector General. "We're conducting investigations into several cases statewide to establish evidence. We still don't have those links yet, but the telltale signs are there, and they point to the Zetas." The Zetas' presence in Dallas represents a sharp departure from standard practice....

Naturally.....
Free-trade at work bump!!!
"Because the Zetas' skills and connections are as desirable to militant groups as they are objectionable to law enforcement agencies, it may turn into a race between al Qaeda and the FBI to find them. "

We must respect multicultiralism and put our colonialist prejudices at bay. These people are doing this because they must have been wronged in some way. (barf, yurk, choke)
AAAAaarrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
oh... not that this is an illegal alien thread or anything...
trade?? what does this have to do with trade? More like open borders....
so much info.......so little action
Before you flame me, noone wants the southern border secured more than I do, but these murdering drug gangs wouldn't exist if their 'product' were legal, regulated, and taxed like alcohol.

I hate to break it to you my friend, you can't have free-trade without the open borders. The more you close down on the border the less trade you can have. Inverse relationship my friend.
BTTT
...Nothing to see here, now move along please...
Move along please...
these Zetas are no different than any other terrorists.
if caught they should be shot , no incarcerated .
No mercy....
Where are our own black teams? What great training for them
to practice on groups like these right here at home.
There wouldn't be a reason for them to smuggle it if the product were legal, regulated, and taxed.
Personally, I'd rather have these 'zetas' (which in Spanish means 'zeros') scrambling for a new way to make a living other than making a 1000% profit on coke, heroin, or weed.
Take away the source of their income, and they will dry up and blow away like the zeros they are.

I knew it would take less than ten posts before someone made a "if only drugs were legal...stars would shine again, butterflies would fly, and all the evil people would act nice" argument.
Welsh Zetas would never resort to violence. Marrying short men maybe, but never violence.
Then they should be treated as a hostile, invading force, and shot dead on site. No questions asked.
Choices, choices.
