....From October of last year to August 25, 2004, 55,890 illegal aliens OTM’s (other than Mexicans) were caught as they crossed the border from Middle Eastern countries hostile to the USA. That’s only the ones they caught. Border Patrol catches only one in four....
FORBES MAGAZINE tabulated a $7 billion annual business for smuggling illegals from the Middle East, China, India and South America. Aliens arrive in big busses which disperse them to vans and SUV’s--to be driven to pickup points where ‘coyotes’ await to bring them across the border in the dead of night. Those coyotes along with drug smugglers rape and even kill their clients in the desert. One coyote makes $5,000.00 per week....
“Corporate America thrives on illegals,” Steele reported. “Corporate managers go so far as to place orders with smugglers for a specific number of bodies to be delivered,” Steele reported. “They employ illegal aliens at wages so low that few citizens could afford to take the jobs, but it’s great for profits and stockholders…that’s why the payrolls of so many businesses—meat packers, poultry processors, landscape firms, construction companies, office cleaning firms and corner stores among others—are jammed with illegals…companies are rarely if ever punished.” ....
The TIME report exposed a growing crime network. Now operating in 28 cities, MS-13 gangs rob, kill, distribute drugs and run prostitution rings while being protected by “Special Order 40.”

MS-13 Creating Huge Problems in the US
FBI confronts new gang threat
The director of a new task force says Al Qaeda has no ties to Central American gangs.
By Danna Harman | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
SAN SALVADOR - A notorious street gang based in El Salvador has rapidly spread into 31 US states and raised enough concern for the Justice Department to create a new high-level task force to battle it. But the head of the task force says the gang has no Al Qaeda connections - despite comments made Monday by El Salvador's president.
"The FBI, in concert with the US intelligence community and government of several Central American republics, has determined that there is no basis in fact to support this allegation of Al Qaeda or even radical Islamic ties to MS13 [a.ka. Mara Salvatrucha]," says Robert Clifford, director of the new force, who is in El Salvador this week to discuss cooperation with his Central American counterparts.
....
MS13 has been operating for years in the US, and is neither the biggest gang in the US nor, statistically speaking, the most violent - a dubious distinction claimed by a rival Salvadoran group, the 18th Street gang.
Clifford explains that in the past two years there has been a rapid expansion of MS13 branches throughout the US. During that time, there have been 18 MS13-related killings in North Carolina, 11 in Northern Virginia, and at least eight in Los Angeles. Members are showing up in places as disparate as Boston and Omaha, Neb.
MS13 sprang up in California in the late 1980s, when Salvadoran refugees, having fled the violent civil war back home, began forming protection groups against existing Hispanic gangs in their new neighborhoods. In time, they turned to such illegal activities as burglaries, auto thefts, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, extortion, rape, and murder.
By the 1990s, US law enforcement was taking note of the group, and many members were deported to El Salvador, where they set up branches and, in many cases, returned to the US. Today there are 8,000 to 10,000 members of MS13 in 31 states, according to the National Drug Intelligence Center, an arm of the Justice Department. The number rises to 50,000 internationally.

Los Angeles, Alta California - March 1, 2005 - (ACN) It looks like there is going to be a "showdown at OK corral" on April 1st in Tombstone, Arizona. A high level leader of the Mara Salvatruchas, Ebner Anivel Rivera-Paz, has issued orders, from federal prison, to members of his extremely violent organization to teach the Minutemen vigilantes a lesson they will never forget, La Voz de Aztlan has learned.
.....
Today, the Mara Salvatruchas have grown immensely in numbers and their network has expanded through Mexico all the way to Canada. The extremely violent group controls large portions of the drug, stolen vehicle and immigrant smuggling operations along the US/Mexico border and will not put up with clowns like the Minutemen vigilantes. The amateurish Minutemen may be in for a big surprise on April Fools Day and on the subsequent days that they plan to patrol the border with Mexico in Arizona. The Mara Salvatruchas are known to cut the "testicles" of their enemies and feed them to their vicious dogs. Other times they have cut the heads off their opponents to play football soccer with them. These are not people to mess around with.
The "amateurish" Minutemen are highly aware of this and are shaping their plans accordingly. I'd bet on the disciplined former LEOs and servicemembers over this gang of sociopaths any day.
Are you a member of the Honduran MS-13 gang. It's obvious that you are a supporter of theirs. You have my heartfelt congratulations on being a violent gang supporter. Have no fear, you will meet Lady Justice one of these days. A word of caution: Be careful because I've heard she is one nasty bitch when she gets upsets with punks.
I do not advise you to stray out of your neighborhood, especially towards Cochise County, AZ. anytime around April 1st. I do not want you become an April Fool who ends up in a bodybag thinking that the MM are mere amateurs at self defense.
