Two more men were handed off to federal agents today, following a Wanamingo drug bust that yielded the most methamphetamine local authorities said they have uncovered.

A series of arrests Wednesday netted 2 pounds of methamphetamine, cocaine, $8,000 in cash and a gun.

SNIP

Five men, ranging in age from 21 to 51, were jailed and handed off to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents....

Benjamin Alvarez, 38, Wanamingo, Adolfo Valenzula, 21, Plainview, and David Grajeda-Barreras, 32, Wanamingo were booked into Goodhue County Jail on suspicion of first-degree drug charges....

The two men, Amado Valdez-Cuevas, 51, no known address, and Rigoberto Mendez-Chaparro, 26, West Concord, were jailed on holds for ICE.

Nothing to see here, they're just cooking the meth Americans won't cook. And don't you dare complain, lest Jorge Arbusto finger you as a racist, nativist, unpatriotic bigot who would have opposed civil rights for blacks.

[Bob Loblaw]

Gee, these "undocumented Americans" were cooking meth in Minnesota.

They sure were stupid.

They should have been living in "sanctuary cities" -- like San Francisco or New York.

They would have been safe from ICE there.

ICE will not bother with this. These are future citizens of the U.S. according to the Senate.

Amado Valdez-Cuevas, 51, no known address

He must have just crossed the border last night.

ICE will soon be down at the border handing out water bottles and maps to points of interest. They will probably run the shuttle in country too!

[lesser_satan]

Well that just proves we need more federally subsidized housing for illegal-alien-meth-cookers.

Don't forget Seattle where the police cannot ask about legal status.

[Red_Devil 232]

Cindy has a perfect piece of property in Crawford, Tx that they could buy!

“They should have been living in “sanctuary cities” — like San Francisco or New York.
Don’t forget Seattle where the police cannot ask about legal status.”

And Minneapolis and St. Paul.......

I don’t see any mention in the story that they actually found a meth lab at the residence. It would appear to me that these folks are part of the pipeline running meth up from Mexico’s superlabs.

[miliantnutcase]

Yeah, I think they could be on to something big..How long until some fed in a black suit walks in and takes all the local cop’s evidence, reports and says, “nothing happened here”.

[jonno]

“He must have just crossed the border last night.”

Exactly.

BTW - great tagline. Man, that brings back memories.

In my day the next line might have been “Shooters! You may commence firing once that dawwwwwgg target appears!”

Damn if that didn't bring back some fond memories. :)

I’d agree; the meth-cooking business in Minnesota has fallen significantly since the restrictions on over-the-counter pseudoephedrine started. I understand the world’s largest market for OTC cold pills is now Tijuana.

I got home tonight to find an "RNC Census" in my mailbox. I completed the questionnaire, and there was a spot soliciting for donations. I x-ed it out and wrote in the margin that I won't send them a dime until a workable, enforcement-first solution to the illegal alien invasion is reached.

I'll be sending some very blunt faxes to my elected reps this week, too. Do you know if the House could come up with their own bill, or must it originate in the Senate since there's spending involved? I have a lot more trust in the House to come up with something acceptable.
