Officials confirmed Thursday that a 14-year-old boy who carried out assassinations for a Mexican drug gang is a U.S. citizen
MEXICO CITY (December 9, 2010)—A suspected 14-year-old drug gang killer in Mexico is a U.S. citizen, officials confirmed Thursday.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Alexander Featherstone said U.S. authorities also confirmed the boy’s 19-year-old sister is an American citizen.
He said embassy officials have visited both in prison.
He said Thursday the embassy "will continue to provide consular services to the boy and his sister," but provided no other details.
The boy and his sister were arrested a week ago as they tried to board a plane to Tijuana in an airport near Cuernavaca south of Mexico City.
A 23-year-old sister who drove them to the airport was also detained.
Morelos Gov. Marco Adame Castillo said last week the 14-year-old was born in San Diego, Calif.
The teen, nicknamed "El Ponchis," told reporters last Friday he had worked for a drug cartel since he was 11 and that he participated in at least four decapitations.
Authorities arrested the boy late last Thursday as he boarded a plane in Cuernavaca to travel to the border city of Tijuana across from San Diego, Calif., with his two sisters.
The three evidently planned to cross the border to San Diego, where they have relatives.
"I was going to change. I was going to see my mother. Well, my stepmother,” the boy told an interviewer.
He told the interviewer that he felt bad as he cut the throats of the victims, but said, “They forced me to do it.”
“(They said) that they were going to kill me,” he said.
He denied hanging the bodies of the victims from bridges.
“I only cut their throats, but I never went to hang (them) to the bridges. Never,” he said.
Illegal anchor thug.
Wonderfull.
Poster child for doing away with the anchor baby rule.

If that DREAM Act/Illegal Alien Amnesty treason travesty passes....we will have more Mexican Drug Cartel hit-men and hit-boys who become American citizens
Seal the border, deport all the illegals....anything else is Amnesty
American NO, he is a Mexican.
So, this was a job an American would do?
Created or saved?
Good thing he knew where to draw the line.
The mother of a suspected 14-year-old Mexican drug cartel assassin has been charged in San Diego with entering the United States illegally, according to a federal complaint filed Wednesday.
Neighbors said they watched Monday night as Yolanda Jimenez Lugo, 43, and her husband were led away in handcuffs in front of their distraught young daughters as Jimenez returned from an exercise class. Officials blocked access to the small street where she and her family have lived for about eight years.
The complaint stated that she had been previously deported on September 10, 1997, and had not applied for permission to return to the U.S. She and her husband, Gabriel Aguirre Manuel, were taken to the Border Patrol’s Chula Vista station for processing.
Information about a court date has not been released.
U.S. consular officials also met with Edgar Jimenez Lugo, the boy jailed on accusations of being a hit man for a cartel in central Mexico, the U.S. State Department confirmed Tuesday. He is being held at an undisclosed location for his protection.

Update
U.S. consular officials have met with both sisters of Edgar Jimenez Lugo, the U.S. State Department said Wednesday.
Lina-Ericka Jimenez Lugo, 23, and Elizabeth Jimenez Lugo, 19, are being held in a Mexico City detention facility for 30 days while the investigation continues into their ties to organized crime.
U.S. officials are also working to verify the citizenship of the sisters, a State Department spokeswoman said. San Diego County birth registration documents obtained by The San Diego Union-Tribune show Lina-Ericka was born in Jiutepec, Mexico, and Elizabeth was born in San Diego.
This is the latest on it
>>I only cut their throats, but I never went to hang (them) to the bridges. Never,” he said.>>
It wasn’t his conscience that prevented him from hanging them from a bridge. He’s 14, and simply wasn’t strong enough.
So what happens when the Mexicans release him at age 18. Is he then free to enter the USA as a U.S. citizen? In 4 years, this serial murderer may become our problem!
“So, this was a job an American would do?
Created or saved?”
Long as the guy is population pruning in Mexico who cares.
(Sniffle) Gee, watta nice guy. A real credit to the US (sob).
