Los Angeles, CA. According to 33 year veteran gang specialist and retired L.A. Sheriff’s Sergeant Richard Valdemar, Mexican drug cartels have infiltrated city councils and political campaigns in many small cities in Los Angeles County.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Why aren't there any alcohol cartels and gangs? Oh, right.
NONSENSE! They only came here looking to do the jobs (lazy racist) Americans wouldn't do! /s
Exactly!...to posters...3,4 & 5!! Duhhhh?!!
These would be Latino cities, would they?
Doing the infiltrating Americans won't do.
The extent of the networking is astounding. And perfectly logical and nearly imperceptable. Amazing.
Nancee
Amazing!
And why can't the FBI & DEA & Treasury shut this down?
I wonder how much impact the Cartel has on the recent U. S. Election?
Thanks for posting it.
There are:
"Currently, ATF is conducting several joint investigations with the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Customs Services, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Canadian Customs regarding significant tobacco and distilled spirits-related criminal diversion activities within the United States and Canada. ATF is also developing an intelligence database for diversion cases that involve alcohol and tobacco criminal diversion activity."

...yea, open unsecure borders have nothing to do with this, right?
/sarcasm off
The towns involved - South Gate, Maywood, Huntington Park, Bell Gardens - are all now at least 75 - 85% "hispanic". Which is to say, Mexican. What you are seeing there is, in fact, what Mexico is like. Period. If it wasn't drugs, it would be access to government, access to jobs, everything.
Almost nothing happens in Mexico without patronage extortion: it's expected. It's the norm. It's the way the society operates...if you can call it operable.
This is what the Southwestern United States is turning into. As the immigration laws are not enforced, as official multiculturalism forbids honest discussion of it, as criminal Mexican officials seize illegitimate power in the U.S. (they even have the mayor of Los Angeles, and yes kiddies, you can bet he's up to his undershorts in this), this is what will happen to the once great American Southwest: it will become a sinister, ugly and terrifying pit run by seedy murderers from Guess Where. And they will always be painted as being poor and oppressed, forced to do these terrible things because the Evil Gringos were mean to them.
All of which is bunk. These places were empty dirt a century and a half ago when the gringos arrived and turned them into the places they used to be - decent middle and working class neighborhoods and towns. Then the overflow from the Nightmare Next Door showed up, and this is the result.
They must part of the Republican Culture of Corruption®.
"And why can't the FBI & DEA & Treasury shut this down?"
It would make no difference....with open borders the criminals would be replaced in a month and things would be "back to business" shortly there after.
Very enlightening video at the link you provided. Thank you for posting. Wonder if Tim Russert would be willing to interview Chief Valdemar. The slow but steady creep of drug/immigration related corruption onto City Councils is sobering. A perfect environment for terrorists to take hold.
Liberalism always screws thing up. It takes generations to clean up the messes they've made. They've made such of mess of this country this time, I don't know if it can ever be saved.
If it's death to American - it's liberal.
