"millions of counterfeit documents with an estimated street value of $20 million."

This is impossible because Comrade Juan McNuts assures us that his proposals do not amount to "Amnesty." If counterfeit documents are available for less than $10 each ($20M / 2M Docs), Juan would be proved stupid.

today we wouldn’t tolerate the palmer raids and the development of the fbi under j edgar hoover to pursue the mafia as they did.

Ah, as if America doesn't have enough homegrown crime, it needs to import criminals from abroad...just committing the fraud, counterfeiting, drug-peddling and murder native-born Americans are too lazy to.

"Thank you, Jorge Bush. You kept Al-Qai'da from killing us so we could be murdered in our homes by criminals you let into the country with your crackpot "compassion."

Just forging the documents that Americans won’t forge.

Thank you for posting the entire article.

Actually, this could be good news.

Now that Organized Crime is tied in with Illegal Immigration, the FBI will be on their case.

I think Mexico is allowing border crime in order to extort more money from us.
Just a thought.

We as Americans tend to interpret other cultures and nations, through our own experiences in our own culture, in our own nation.

It’s almost astoundingly naive.

There’s no similarity between the American Italian mob, and in particular (since these seem to be the two most completely misunderestimated) Mexico’s corruption, and similarly the relationship between China’s communists and the so-called Triads.

Mexican gangs are increasingly an American southwest hazard. Increasingly, there are in major southwest American metro areas, specific pockets of almost-total Mexican population. It’s a cliche, but there are parts of Southern California, where it really does look remarkably, almost exactly like you’re in Mexico.

The gangs are not a distinct object. They’re intermeshed politically with the bug-eyed left, with the “reconquistas”, with local politicians and their neighbors. They become thorns, on Mexican roses. Keeping others threatened. Driving away, others.

Advancing, the “reconquista”.

Was listening to the guy from the webside “Softwar” on Coast to Coast AM this week. He mentioned a similar sort of structure, with Chinese attacks on the internet.

Evidently, the lines between the PRC, and the so-called “Triads”, are blurring.

We ignore these mega-threats at our peril.

We do seem, to be ignoring them.
