Latest drug tunnel, pot seizures may reflect rise of Sinaloa cartel
Los Angeles Times ^ | Dec. 1, 2011 | Richard Marosi

Elaborate tunnel and discovery of more than 32 tons of marijuana are the latest in recent record busts as a new group boosts production after the decline of the Arellano Felix cartel.

Reporting from San Diego— Smugglers stacked the bundles of dope on a freight elevator that descended to an underground staging area, where electric carts whisked the marijuana down a tunnel into California.

The passageway linked a warehouse in Tijuana with another nondescript building in San Diego, and just like several other drug tunnels, its discovery this week yielded another jackpot seizure.

Why is it that, no matter who occupies the White House, we never hear a denunciation of Mexico? Yet, Mexico's president is able to publicly blame the U.S. for its own problems of drug cartels, corruption and unemployment, and Mexicans are able to run rough-shod over our laws and our sovereignty? Why the kid gloves?

32 tons = a couple days worth of tunnel traffic, I'll bet.

I wonder how many illegals came through that tunnel.

I wonder how much Al Qaeda and Hezbollah pay to pass their people back and forth through that tunnel.

Because politicians in this country foolishly give a damn about what a few small groups think, in the believe that their votes matter.

The Sinaloa cartel,
The democrat partys favorite drug cartel.

And the dems help target the other two mexican cartels.

As long as the feral government REFUSES to address this problem and as long as the Mexican governent refuses or is unable to adequately get a handle on it, NOTHING will change!!

If the feral government WANTED to end the flow of drugs coming into the US from Mexico, they could.

The problem is that NEITHER of them really want to.

In the meantime, the drugs and violence continue to flow across the border.

Fast and Furious weapons found in Mexico cartel enforcer's home

Los Angeles Times ^ | October 8, 2011 | Richard A. Serrano

High-powered assault weapons illegally purchased under the ATF's Fast and Furious program in Phoenix ended up in a home belonging to the purported top Sinaloa cartel enforcer in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, whose organization was terrorizing that city with the worst violence in the Mexican drug wars.

Exactly! Those tunnels can be used for more than just transporting drugs. A terrorist group could pay to have personnel and ‘packages’ brought to US soil. This is quite dangerous.

La Times running interference.

It means there is American Federal collusion at some level allowing this to propagate...and the MSM/Pravda..is serving their masters by misdirecting the public’s inquiring minds.
