... kidnap victims are typically drug or immigrant smugglers, who are seen as inviting targets because they have a lot of money, they can raise large sums of cash on short notice...In one case, someone who turned to authorities about a kidnapping brought more than $300,000 in ransom money to the Police Department in cereal boxes______________

Horrible, horrible type crimes that these illegal immigrants/traffickers/smugglers are enduring and/or bringing to our country. HOWEVER, these are probably the same illegals whose children get free health care, lunches, pay no taxes, and live off the US taxpayer while they and their illegal immigrant friends store their thousands of dollars in cereal boxes.

I am not saying it is a fitting punishment - the crimes are despicable and chilling. But, who wants these people in our country who are so tied to a life of crime and a lifestyle of violence that our laws have no meaning to them? Some moan that as a country we should have sympathy to the sufferings and needs of illegal immigrants and their families. That we should give them shelter, jobs, food, medical care, the whole " entitlement" package. While all along these very people have no intention of becoming disciplined, law-abiding, productive, legal citizens here. It is not their way.

They have grown up in the criminal culture of Latin American civilizations where kidnapping, killing, torturing, smuggling, lying is "status quo," They come here illegally simply to do the same and grab hoards of cash in illegal ways. They bring no admirable desires to be participating, contributing members of our society. While what they do bring to our country is the crime and chaos of their lives and to hide in our communities where they avoid the system and continue their gang-like penchant for violence and retribution.

The war on terror should not just be applied to the Middle East terrorists, but equally to fight and STOP the entry of these criminal elements/illegal immigrants who are sapping our services and in our midst already - and costing us millions of dollars and fear.
