More than Mexicans Crossing the Border

Al Qaeda and the Latino Gang-Bangers
The situation at the border now poses a grave threat to national security.
Agent Mike Scioli of the U.S. Border Patrol confirms that the Tucson sector of the Border Patrol is facing a worsening problem with Mara Salvatrucha, a Salvadoran street gang that now controls the flow of arms, drugs, and illegal aliens into the U.S.
Two members of the violent gang were collared last week in Tucson and Nogales.
Twenty have been brought into custody since President Barack Obama assumed the oath of office on January 20, 2009.
But the Salvadoran gang is bringing more than guns, dope, and Mexican peasant workers over the border.
In the wake of 9/11, Mara Salvatrucha attracted the attention of top al Qaeda officials, who realized that the gang could be used to smuggle operatives and weapons into the United States.1 An agreement was forged between the terrorists and the gang-bangers. In exchange for safe passage across the border, al Qaeda - - through its cells in South America - - agreed to pay the Maras from $30,000 to $50,000 for each sleeper agent they managed to smuggle into the country with bogus matricula consulars.2
Matricula consulars are official identification cards that are issued by the Mexican government through its consular offices. The cards verify that the bearers are Mexican citizens who are living outside of Mexico with the government’s permission.

I really did see this coming. It just made so much sense. And the terrorists aren't stupid about how to terrorize.

Point taken thanks.

Bush knew about this, and didn’t lift a finger. So why should a terrorist like Obama care?
Thanks...hey, you the sports nut? Have you seen this? If you like baseball, this is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time...for many reasons...

Obama has a better plan:
“The U.S. agreed to resettle 1,350 Palestinians displaced by fighting in Iraq, marking the largest resettlement ever of Palestinian refugees in the nation.”
So you think a Harvard educated Law Review Chief Editor/Con Law “lecturer” who can’t even produce an authenticated birth certificate can actually write a letter?
I’m not so optimistic
I used to be worried about MS-13. And then Obama became president.
I personally find MS-13 to be more than a little worrying: ...

MS-13 Now Controls Mexican Border
August 1, 2009
Something bad is taking place at the border.
“We’re seeing a lot of MS-13,” says Agent Mike Scioli of the US Border Patrol. “They’re typically known to be guns for hire, they’re known to smuggle narcotics and human traffic across the border illegally.”
MS-13 stands for Mara Salvatrucha, the most violent street gang in the western hemisphere.
(excerpts)
But the presence of MS-13 merits special concern.
They specialize in transporting arms and drugs across the border. Most of the weapons come from El Salvador – the homeland of most of the gang members – where a hand grenade sells for $10; an M-16 rifle for $200; and an AK-47 for $1,500. The Maras have made a fortune by purchasing such weapons and selling them to members of other street gangs throughout the US.
In recent years, the Maras have taken over drug routes that had been established by other Latino gangs. At present, nearly 90 percent of the cocaine and marijuana that flows into the states comes from Mexico and the lion’s share from the trafficking remains under the control of MS. The drug business is so brisk that the gang has set up large warehouses to store the illicit drugs in Matamoros, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas.
(excerpts)...
Thousands of MS members now occupy prison cells from Maine to California for such crimes as trafficking in illegal narcotics, home invasion, burglary, carjacking, extortion, witness intimidation, rape and murder, including the assassinations of three federal agents.
Many migrants who want to cross the 1,820 mile border between Mexico and the United States must come to terms with more than three thousand MS gang members who keep watch over the border crossings like turkey vultures.
The going rate for safe passage is $5,000. Families without the requisite cash are compelled to relinquish all their possessions – family heirlooms, gold necklaces, silver bracelets, wedding rings, even their shoes and sombreros. Those with neither money nor tangible goods must come up with other offerings, including the sexual favors of their wives and children.
Those who resist payment are often hacked to pieces or tossed from moving trains. “There are hundreds who are pushed off trains by the Maras if they resist the robberies,” says Asdrubal Aguilar Zepeda, the Salvadoran counsel in Tapachula, Mexico, near the Guatemalan border. The bodies and body parts of dead migrants are often strewn along the railroad tracks from Tapachula to the northern regions of Mexico.
By controlling the leading passageways into the US, Mara Salvatrucha has transmogrified into a multimillion dollar enterprise, and, by so doing, has become a leading international Mafia.

Dammit! This I blame Bush for this 100%. That border should have locked down tight after 9-11. But oh no, we have to pander to the illegal crowd so we can say we’re Latino friendly Republicans. What a load of crap!
Hey, what are you suggesting that we become a Conservative Party? Has anyone at the RNC been told about this idea?
It gets worse:
UPDATE
“Our contact at “Southwest Key”, an official U.S. Contractor for the “Office of Refuge Resettlement”, has informed us that the problem with Arabs crossing the Mexican border has reached the point that they have been compelled to import bi-lingual (Spanish-Arabic) translators from southern Mexico.”
We really, really need some more Joe Arpaios.
The question the ‘rats have to ask themselves is:
can MS13 work well with New Black Panthers and ACORN?

I know who they are and what they are about. Look, they’re a bad bunch. And why are they bad? Our federal government basically gives them a green light to operate.
Our government hasn’t taken this situation serious. Gangs are treated as if they were simply something we have to deal with. No we don’t. We could use RICO act laws and take these gangs down any time we wanted to. We’ve done it when we got earnest because a crime involved a police officer. For the most part we don’t. And when I say we, I mean our elected officials who represent us.
So I think our Reps are the biggest threat to this nation.
Until they get a new mindset, and get motivated to get off their asses, MS-13 will continue to obtain more power.
A local police officer died in a confrontation with a certain gang in our area. A task force was set up involving several municipal police forces and the FBI. Within months they took down over 100 members of the gang that had a membership estimated to be about 104 or 105.
That’s how you do it. And when they don’t do it, you know there’s something rotten in Denmark.
Gangs are infiltrating everywhere because our leaders don’t do squat about them.
Look, if you want hoods to do your bidding, you look the other way. Is anyone looking the other way? My guess is that a way will be found to get them to work well together.
