GANG LAND By Michelle Malkin · March 02, 2005 10:32 AM
First Lady Laura Bush is leading a warm-and-fuzzy youth initiative to discourage young boys and men from joining gangs.
But as I report in my new column today, it's going to take a hell of a lot more than Kodak photo-ops to combat the criminal alien gang problem spreading across the country:
With all due respect to the First Lady, this is a job best left to law enforcement professionals willing to get tough, get dirty, and crack heads. From the suburbs to our national forests, savage criminal alien gangs are infiltrating America and luring young recruits.
Compassionate conservatism ain't gonna stop them.
As many law enforcement sources have been informing me, native gangs such as the Bloods and Crips have nothing on the recent wave of criminal alien enterprises settling across the heartland. Recent enforcement action in New York demonstrates the scope of the problem. Last month in New York, 41 criminal aliens with felony convictions were arrested by immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) agents on a single day as part of a joint public safety initiative between ICE and the U.S. Probation Office of the Eastern District of New York.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the aliens arrested in New York — half of whom were here illegally—include citizens of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Ghana, Haiti, Italy, Jamaica, Jordan, Mexico, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Trinidad, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela. The operation targeted criminal aliens with prior felony convictions for "murder, firearms trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering, racketeering, fraud, false statements, receipt of stolen property, producing false identity documents, copyright infringement and other federal felonies."
A related ICE operation in Chicago targeted violent Hispanic gangs. Over the past five years, ICE agents on Chicago’s Violent Gang Task Force have arrested more than 375 known alien gang members.
As I've been reporting in previous columns and on the blog, the most notorious criminal alien gang on the scene is Mara Salvatrucha/MS-13. They're on the border, in the suburbs, and now...in our national forests. Earlier this week, I spoke with Siskiyou County, Calif., sheriff Rick Riggins, who has uncovered massive marijuana farms in our federal forests . Riggins reports that the Mexican Mafia and MS-13 paraphernalia have been discovered on the scene.
My conclusion: The solution lies with increased federal-local cooperation, aggressive deportation, and uncompromising immigration enforcement, not with piddly anti-gang/"conflict resolution" grants doled out by the First Lady.

"I would hope she nor me nor you or anyone ever comes in contact with bad gangs like Michelle is talking about."
They're within 10 miles of me. What do you think my odds are? Too many of us have already been shot at. I moved here because my former state/neighborhood had been turned into an illegal barrio.
Read the second article after Michelles. They are all over No. Calif. and So. Oregon. We are real breathing human beings here putting up with this. There's more articles in the thread. I promise you'll learn something. Homeland security says it's not their problem. There is one DEA agent within 500 miles. Sometimes they'll let the forest service help the sheriff cut down a crop. I should say dig up the crop. The feds insist on each plant having a root ball on the end, because it's easier to count. The feds will prosecute the arrests. We have a federal government full of paper pushers and campaign hacks.
In late 2000, Pasha was arrested in Brooklyn, New York, and was returned to the state of Georgia. He was then diagnosed with medical problems and the charges against him were dismissed. In October of 2003, information was received that Pasha's medical condition had been misdiagnosed...
Is this guy (the 4th one from the bottom) some kind of magician/hypnotist?
Wow. Well I hope you and your family and your neighbors stay safe.
People thought the Mafia was a problem – until the Colombians showed up.
People thought the Bloods and Crips were a problem until…
Our home grown bad guys are comparatively benign compared to what we are getting from the 3rd World.
Get this guy on the case! HAHAHA!
"Our home grown bad guys are comparatively benign compared to what we are getting from the 3rd World."
It's been interesting listening to and talking to several sheriffs. On TV tonight one of them said if the public had any idea how bad this situation is they'd be stunned. They don't have time to deal with our own nutcases because the illegal/foreign element is taking all their resources.
FTAH
… if the public had any idea how bad this situation is they'd be stunned.
