A showdown over drug money between suspected Mexican illegal aliens in Alabama ended with four men in prison and four shipped back to Mexico in body bags.
Three suspected illegal aliens from Mexico and another man have been arrested and charged with capital murder for electrocuting, stabbing, suffocating and beating five men to death in a murder-for-hire.
The four suspects were paid between $400,000 and $450,000 to torture the victims with electric shock and slit their throats in an Alabama apartment, police said Tuesday. The murders have been tied to a drug cartel that transports cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana, the Birmingham News reported.
Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry said he believed the murders could have been revenge slayings after the victims embezzled money from a drug cartel.
"It revolves around money, and that money revolves around drugs," he said.
Curry said there might have been other targets on the hit list who escaped before police arrived.
Authorities found the bodies of Angel Horacio Vega-Gonzalez, 23, and his brother Gustavo Vega-Gonzalez, also known as Armando Lopez, 24; Ezequiel Rebollar-Terevan, 23; Jaime Echeverria, 30; and a fifth unknown victim Wednesday.
The coroner's office is waiting for dental records before the fifth victim can be identified. The other four victims' bodies have been shipped back to their families in Mexico.
Suspects Alejandros Castaneda, 31, and Juan Francisco Castaneda, 25, brothers; Rodriguez Jaime Duenas, 22; and Christopher Scott Jones, 40 are being held in the Shelby County Jail without bond.

Good God, what is up with this?

McCain is finessing the border security aspect on one hand and Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Shamnesty) on the other.
He thinks we are stupid, and he is right, for once. Once the foxes are the in henhouse, you can’t just build a fence to keep out more foxes and turn the foxes already inside into honorary chickens. You still have foxes eating their fill of chicken, that need to be sent back to the place from which good foxes come. Otherwise, that just plain ole ain’t good chicken farmin’.
They have California by the b——, in every city and most towns. Scary indeed.
These are all "God's children" you know, and we are "a nation of immigrants".
Pttoooooey!
“...and four shipped back to Mexico in body bags”
I hope they were shipped COD.
This is worse than “No Country for Old Men,” which is saying something.
No, you need to shoot the damn foxes & nail their hides to a barn door, as a warning to other foxes.
ping
BTT!
Are you serious, you really don’t know what is going on?
There are many posts about the all-out drug war in Mexico and several recent posts about the war moving to the U.S. Of course it already has but the media is just catching up. You need to get on a ping list about the border issues if you are interested- the main stream media is trying to ignore it so you won’t see much on the TV news. Truly scary stuff going on across the border and here in the U.S. and it is not new, but is getting much worse.
Excellent analogy of why amnesty won't work and we should not try any form of it. All illegals need to return to their own country and go through normal legal channels to come here. Otherwise we are giving amnesty to criminals that don't belong here to begin with.
Tammy’s right, although ‘many’ doesn’t come close to describing the scope. Do a keyword search on ‘aliens’ for an exhaustive listing of all articles posted on FR related to this problem...
