Mexican Gang Members Using Arizona as Corridor
KOLD 13 News Tucson (CBS) ^ | May 9, 2005

Posted on 05/09/2005 9:30:05 PM PDT by Travis McGee

PHOENIX, Ariz. Federal authorities say members of a violent Mexican gang are using the Arizona border as a corridor to the country.

In the past year, Border Patrol agents have arrested about ten members of Mara Salvatrucha -- a notorious international street gang in Mexico.

Yet according to federal and local law enforcement officials, the gang members don't appear to stay in the state.

The gang is commonly known as M-S-13 and has been linked to murders from Honduras to Los Angeles to Virginia.

Original Mara Salvatrucha members were guerrilla fighters who fled the Salvadoran civil war in the 1980s.

Police gang unit supervisor Paul Ferrero says Phoenix is not a fertile ground for M-S-13 members because of other active Mexican-American gangs and the relatively small population of Central Americans here.

They are just coming here to do the jobs that Americans won't do.

AKA commies. The leftist political element of the Mara Salvatrucha's history gets conveniently forgotten by the press.

If we had no illegal immigrant problem, 9-11 events would still demand we secure our borders, but we do. The hundreds of thousands of illegal entrants is simply proof we've not take security threats seriously.

If we didn't laugh, we'd have to cry. Actually, I do weep for the ruined legacy we are handing to our children.

Our open border is fine, but don't you dare bring your Bic or Cricket disposable lighter to the airport with you. That will endanger our security. What a joke.

I didn't know MS-13 was now in Mexico too.

And what doesn't get mentioned is Hezbollah terrorists crossing the border. One of them got convicted in March up in Dearborn. He came in through Nogales.

The president doesn't worry about these people crossing our border because he knows they're only coming here to work hard.There's plenty of work in America for an experienced machete wielder who has a face covered with tattoos.
