MS-13 gang leader to be imprisoned, then deported
Corpus Christi Caller-Times/AP ^ | July 7, 2005

HOUSTON- The reputed leader of a violent gang with roots in El Salvador was sentenced to seven months in prison Friday for illegally re-entering the country, U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg announced.

Lester Rivera Paz, 29, of Honduras, is expected to be deported after completing his sentence. He has been in federal custody since his arrest in February near Falfurrias. He was indicted in March on one count of illegal entry into the United States after being deported.

Rivera, who officials say has many aliases, including "El Culiche" or The Tapeworm, Eber Anibal Rivera Paz and Franklin Jairo Rivera-Hernandez, was the Honduras leader of the Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13 gang.

He is accused of masterminding a Christmastime bus massacre in Honduras that killed 28 people.

More than 200 gang members, including several in Texas, have been arrested nationwide since the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched a sweep in March.

Well, can't we just imprison him, shoot him, and THEN deport him?

Let me get this straight: We manage to catch a very high-ranking member of the most violent gang in the western hemisphere, and we're going to throw him back? And he won't come back to haunt us because...?

Hmmmm, I wonder how he came to be in the U.S.?

I wonder what's going to prevent him from being # 1,738,256 of next year's 3,000,000 entries into our nation.

Actually I don't wonder at all. NOTHING at all will prevent it.

If he wants to be, he'll back in less than a week!

Whew, that's a relief. It should deter him from ever coming back again. /s

I think he'll be tried for murder in Honduras or maybe a Sombra Negra (Black Shadow) death squad will execute him!

MS-13 won't last long. They might as well have a bounty on their heads. There are too many law enforcement agencies targeting them now including about a dozen special FBI units.

But the solution is to go after them in the cities where they are operating, not just sit back and hope to catch them crossimng the border. Especially since the ones without records can get visas.

How about when we deport him we parachute him back into South America with a bag full of dirty socks and shoe lace on his back for a chute. I don't think South America would object as long as his air borne corpse did not hit an innocent. With his tattooes he is dead meat when he gets home anyhows.

Holy crap your gutsy. I commented yesterday that GW wasn't a conservative and I got gang-flamed. I like his WOT approach, but his policy on open borders(which should be an integral part of the WOT)is waiting to blow up in our face.
