No, the Prez is not personally responsible, but certainly a contributing factor. He has many helpers in congress. The deeds are done by the illegals. He is just looking to provide jobs that Americans won't do... /s

All were identified as Salvadoran with criminal histories
McALLEN - Five members of the violent Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha have been arrested in South Texas during the past four days, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday.
All were identified as Salvadoran with criminal histories that included weapons violations, attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Border Patrol spokesman Roy Cervantes said one of the five was arrested just north of Corpus Christi when the officials stopped truck with he and 10 other illegal immigrants. His tattoos identified him as a member of the gang.
The arrests occurred near the border cities of Brownsville and Rio Grande City and farther north in Combes and Riviera. They were traveling with groups of other illegal immigrants and identified first through gang tattoos and then through fingerprint matches on a national crime database.
They brought the total number of gang arrests in the sector to 35 since the Oct. 1 start of the fiscal year.
Of those, 21 were identified as Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), and 14 were identified as MS-18, a clique of the gang.
All are being detained and are undergoing deportation proceedings.
MS-13 originated in Los Angeles among immigrants from El Salvador. It later spread throughout the U.S. and to Central America.
Cervantes said agents were now being trained to recognize gang markings and search a fingerprinting database for criminal backgrounds.
He said it was common to find members mixed in with other migrants.
"They are known to attempt to blend in," he said.

Wonder who else is blending in?
Paging President Bush, Sec. Chertoff, Sen. Cornyn and Gov' Perry!

to join doesn't one have to commit a crime?
85% of congress wants to grant amnesty and make these people legal. Hold the door dearie that will make them stay out of the US
(heavy sarcasm)
Bush not in office tha last fifty years.
it is fair to point out, that more illegals have come during his watch than any other president's watch.
Heck, Bush stands up and invites them here....
I voted for the man twice.....and now I'm angry he has betrayed my trust in him.
I don't know, but I'm sure the fellow in Post #11 could tell us!
yes, I'm sure you are correct.
I read somewhere the tatoo tear by the eyes means he is a hit man and has killed. (Notice he has two tears two murders)
"blend in" is a myth...these people are here to control and dominate. Believing anything else is folly.
