Mayhem Crosses the Border With Informers
Washington Post ^ | August 27, 2009 | William Booth

Posted on 08/27/2009 8:38:09 AM PDT by La Lydia

EL PASO -- José Daniel González was living the sweet life in America. He bought the $365,000 two-story Mediterranean with the tile roof and swimming pool. He started a trucking company, was raising a family. But on a Friday night in May, he was executed in his front yard -- eight shots, tight pattern, close range. According to police detectives, González knew the man who ordered his killing. He also knew the man who stood on his lawn and watched him die...A gangland-style slaying is no big news across the river in Ciudad Juarez, where more than 1,300 people have been killed this year despite the presence of 10,000 soldiers...

But in El Paso, where local leaders boast how safe their city is...the González slaying was as disturbing as it was sensational. For people here, the blood splashed on a pretty American street was a jarring sign that Mexico's drug violence is spilling across the border into U.S. suburbia. Most unsettling, especially El Paso police officials, was that both González and the man accused of ordering his killing turned out to be ranking drug traffickers from the notorious Juarez cartel, as well as informers for the U.S. government.

"So this is how these people end up in our country," said El Paso police Lt. Alfred Lowe, a 29-year veteran whose team made the arrests in the González case. "We bring them here."...

El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen...said he has complained to federal counterparts about a lack of cooperation and information sharing. Allen told reporters that he raised those complaints in meetings with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, known as ICE, which, according to police and charging documents, arranged for González's visa so he could live in the United States....

Blame the Republicans for being gutless cowards when they were in power; blame the Democrats for being treasonous vermin for fighting the Republicans then, and for propagating the problem now.

Democrats will sell anyone down the river for a buck; and if it were only Politically Correct, they would publically wipe their backside with the US Constittion.

You also need to know that the Democrat Police Chief Allen will not let the patrol officers upset the illegals that come across the border by asking for proper ID. The news stations here in El Paso pull the Democrat line also skewing the news.

We have President Bush to thank for over 1/2 the illegal immigrants:

“Just doing the jobs Americans won’t do”

Bare-faced lie....at the time, 80% of those jobs were being done by Americans.

7 years later....”Just doing the jobs Americans aren’t currently doing”

Well, by now, only 60% of those jobs were being done by Americans. Partial bare-faced lie. And 500,000 high paying construction jobs previously done by Americans(many of them veterans) were lost to illegals.

“We have to match willing business owners with willing workers(illegals)”

Uh huh, thanks Bush.

Illegal crosser to border officer: “ Why you stop me? President Bush sez iz okay”

“See you at the signing”

Amnesty.

Thanks for the insanity report. We have similiar situations here in California with entire cities being sanctuaries for illegals.

Similar things are happening in Southern Texas. From multiple sources, I’ve heard that many in law enforcement are on the take, people are told not to drive the highways at night and that people down there know what is going on, but are afraid to talk about it. Funny how we don’t here anything about it from the MSM..

You gotta see this. I don’t know how to post the graphic on FR.

Wonder why California is broke??? Senior Illegal aliens!

Highlights:
“California’s cash Assistance Program is for Seniors.... turned down because of their immigration status....such seniors may be able to get almost the same amount of cash as they would have through SSI”

I thought this was interesting: "By the way, California SSI and all the goodies that go with it (for illegal elderly) pays more than my 45 years paid into Social Security pays per month!"

As you said, no wonder California is broke.

Oh, but this one was here “legally...

Not fit to get a green card or become an American citizen...

But still here legally...or a caricature of it..

Meanwhile tens of thousands of good, educated, skilled people who love Ameriuca and want to come here to contribute and assimilate wait in line...

Why do we only want the rat bage who come here to kill, steal and destroy ???

Ha! I am as technically challenged as you are. You could post it without the graphic and include a link in the text.

Last year TN wanted to pass a law that any applicants for any type of govt bennies over the age of 18 must first prove that they were American citizens...

The illegal aliens were pouring in from GA and we faced mounting costs in our state...

and with laws like that they would bypass TN..

The different bleeding heart agencies claimed it would COST TOO MUCH to do that ...

They had the amount up in the millions every year...

It would cost us MORE to not give out freebies to illegal aliens ???

Say HUH ???
