Barrio Azecta Leader Arrested in Mexico in Connection With U.S. Consulate Murders

The Mexican military arrested a leader of the border gang Barrio Azteca in connection with the death of three people linked to the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juárez.

A Mexican federal police spokesman declined to release the name of the gang leader, but local media reports suggest that the leader is Ricardo Valles de la Rosa, who was arrested in a car Friday and held on a weapons possession charge.

On March 13, Lesley A. Enriquez, a consulate employee, Arthur H. Redelfs, her husband and Jorge Alberto Salcido, the husband of a Mexican employee at the consulate, were killed after leaving a party. The 7-month old daughter of Enriquez and Redelfs was in the back seat of the car when her parents were killed.

Following the killings, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (F.B.I.) and other U.S. agencies rounded up suspected members of the Barrio Azteca gang in El Paso, Texas for questioning.

“We think there may be some connection with the Aztecas, and we did an operation in El Paso to generate leads,” said Andrea Simmons, a spokeswoman for the F.B.I., according to the New York Times.

Barrio Azteca is rooted in the Texas prison system and operates on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, where members allegedly hire themselves out to the Juárez drug cartel. The alleged leader of the gang’s Juárez operation, Eduardo Ravelo, was on the F.B.I.’s list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives last year and is currently being sought by U.S. investigators.

Valles de la Rosa is also wanted in Mexico for the 2009 murder of rival Los Mexicles gang member, Marco Zapata Reyes.

There are several article on this today. NY Times notes that the gang assassin was targeting Arthur H. Redelfs because he worked at the El Paso Jail. The perp Valles de la Rosa was brought to the USA illegally when he was 8 years old, joined up with the cartels. These young Mexican people are being brought into the organized Mexican crime rings, living in the USA.

Valles de la Rosa has confessed to the hit.

No one is paying much attention to this important news. But there are 798 responses on “Non-Mormon family not being allowed to attend son’s wedding was wrenching” and more interest in Sandra Bullock’s lame husband.

We are lost in this illegal alien war if people continue to ignore the deaths of our fellow Americans.

Suspect Suggests Jail Guard Was Target of Juárez Killings

The Mexican authorities say Mr. Valles de la Rosa told them he had been ordered several days earlier by unnamed leaders of the gang in El Paso to track down Mr. Redelfs’ white sport-utility car in Ciudad Juárez. He found it, he said, on March 13 at a business that organized children’s birthday parties.

According to the statement, Mr. Valles de la Rosa confessed that as the car pulled away from the business, he contacted other members of the gang, who ordered him to follow it. He trailed the car until it reached Avenida La Ribereña near the city hall, when he received an order to drop back, because other gang members in another car had picked up the target.

One line of investigation is that the Aztecas, as the gang is known in Mexico, were angry with Mr. Redelfs for some action he took in the El Paso County Jail, where many members of the gang have been incarcerated.

Mr. Valles de la Rosa, who goes on the street by the names El Chino and El 29, was born in Ciudad Juarez in 1964, but left for El Paso with his parents at age 6 and lived there for 30 years. [snips] http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/world/americas/01mexico.html

“OMG, that from the man who wrote an amnesty bill with Dead Ted?”

McCain even has a statement on his re election website that he is against amnesty. The problem with his lies, is that most of the public believes him.

Did you see this...where McCain tried to get healthcare for Mexico, years ago?

Congress pushes bill to improve health care…in Mexico! McCain strikes again!

What would Americans think, then, of a member of Congress who introduced legislation, not to improve health care in the United States, but to improve health care in Mexico?Insane? Drunk? Unworthy of public office?

What would Americans think, then, of a bill introduced in Congress that required federal agencies to come up with a plan, not to expand health coverage in the United States, but to expand health coverage in Mexico? Impossible? Unthinkable? Wildly irresponsible?

What would Americans think, then, of the motives of a senator, who not only introduced a bill to improve Mexico’s health care system and extend coverage to a growing population of 120 million people, but gave health insurance companies the right to help devise the plan?Blatantly corrupt? Grossly indifferent to the well-being of the American people? Downright treasonous?

Unbelievable as it may seem, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005 contained a provision giving insurance companies the right to help devise a plan for extending US health care to Mexico (Sec. 1004. BINATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH INSURANCE).

Even more unbelievable, the senator who sponsored the bill is not on the verge of being thrown out of office for this odious piece of legislation. No, the senator who introduced the bill, Senator John McCain of Arizona, was on the verge of locking up the Republican nomination to be our next president

John McCain is grandstanding in the past few days, demanding troops on the border....but....

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ.: I do not favor using troops because they are not trained for it. They don’t have the kind of qualifications necessary. I have strongly favored us using all the technical equipment that our military has including satellites, including aircraft and other technical means.
