Texas authorities in El Paso discovered a stash house with 23 migrants and an underworld shrine worshiped by drug traffickers inside, officials said Tuesday.
Special agents with the Texas Department of Public Safety found the home Monday while working on Operation Lone Star, a border initiative started by Texas to curb human smuggling. The home was being managed by a U.S. citizen originally from Mexico, the agency said.
Also inside the home was an elaborate Santa Muerte shrine, which shows a female skeletal figure wearing a long robe with a scythe in one hand and the world in another.
The shine is worshiped by Mexican drug cartel members who pray to it for their protection. The underworld saint is associated with the violent drug cartel trade. The presence of the shrine highlights the connection between cross-border human smuggling and Mexico's drug cartels.
Since Operation Lone Star began, authorities have discovered 261 stash houses and 3,000 illegal immigrants being held inside them.

Santa Muerte and five more ‘religious’ saints worshiped by drug cartels
The saint is a favorite of Mexican and Central American drug traffickers who are known to leave the severed heads of their enemies at improvised shrines, featuring wax effigies and votive candles emblazoned with the skeletal image of the one also known as Holy Death.
“The narcos and the gangs all believe in the power of prayer,” said Robert Almonte, a Texas-based security consultant and former deputy chief of the El Paso Police Department who specialized in narcotics. “They believe that the saints will protect them no matter what they do — and that’s dangerous because it emboldens the traffickers who truly believe they can get away with murder and still go to heaven.”

If he's "illegal" he can't also be an "immigrant."
Maybe if they start believing the cartel people are Catholics... Something will be done?
That’s all you see, the wording on the headline?
The cult has millions of followers in Mexico. But the Pope has denounced it.
I don’t know anything really about this.
But, I figure it is something made up by these scumbags.
Either way, I have to wonder if all those stupid “kids” movies lately featuring these weird Mexican skeletal representations are mostly another surreptitious way to adjust us to having illegals all over. (Not legals…I never saw all this Spanish acquiescence on big companies and so on until the obsession with celebrating illegals took thorough hold - liberals being “diverse”.)
The link at my comment has a lot of information.

DAMN STRAIGHT!
Here, here!
They are illegal aliens. Nothing more.
And many more followers here I’m sure. Thanks BiDUNG!
Nothing like being taken over by ‘drugged transies’.
I’m sure BiDung will take their guns, so it’s ok.
A patron saint of murderous drug cartels. I must have missed that one in Bible study.
Third world problems at our backdoor. Seem to recall a wall, a really big wall, was being constructed. Whose idea was it to stop? Think the resulting crime, overdoses and death would be the fault of that person.
Thanks!
