This MS 13 gang is infilitrating our country at an alarming rate, and if we dont get a handle on immigration real soon, it will be this going on in every neighborhood.

You have a problem with 'diversity?'

yeah, I'm being sarcastic. Here, the MS 13's cut off the hands of a 15 year old victim.

Mexican drug gangs take root in S. Oregon Report - Drug trafficking groups, fed by huge marijuana gardens, jump 44 percent last year

Thursday, September 28, 2006

Armed Mexican drug gangs have made Southern Oregon's mountains their garden, cultivating tens of thousands of high-grade marijuana plants and -- as harvest time approaches -- setting the stage for potential violence.

In recent growing seasons, the gangs have put illegal immigrants to work as gardeners in remote patches of Jackson, Josephine and Douglas counties, a verdant region known globally for its high-grade cannabis, according to police agencies now pulling up the illegal plants.

The growth in Mexican drug gangs in Oregon helped to drive a 44 percent increase in identified drug trafficking organizations between 2004 and 2005, according to the state Department of Justice's first comprehensive report on organized crime in Oregon.

The report notes that Oregon has been spared the kind of Mafia organizations and rampant public corruption reported elsewhere in the nation. But the state is thick with homegrown gangs -- including bikers, street thugs and convicts -- and criminal networks with tentacles in Asia and former republics of the Soviet Union, the 43-page document says.

The attorney general's report notes that criminal drug gangs cross many jurisdictions, forcing underfunded police agencies and a diminishing number of multi-agency task forces to be creative in finding and prosecuting leaders.

"Traditional law enforcement techniques don't always work to stop organized crime," said Steven Briggs, chief counsel of the attorney general's criminal justice division. "Because if you arrest an individual, the organization will continue to commit crime."

More than 120 drug gangs have been identified in the state, 46 of them with roots in Mexico, according to the report, obtained by The Oregonian and set for public release today.

The increase in Mexican drug gangs came as no surprise to sheriff's departments across southwestern Oregon, which find themselves hip deep in prosecutions of low-level growers getting ready to harvest plants for their bosses before the first frost.

"Historically there's been an enormous flow of methamphetamine that's largely controlled by Mexican cartels," said Douglas County Sheriff Chris Brown. "But the proliferation of the marijuana grows is really kind of a new trend for us. We first detected those in Oregon just a few years ago. Now we're finding more and more each year." -snip
