Today, with some 230 American cities being identified as being infested by the extremely violent Mexican drug cartels with additional cities also being infested by other similarly violent gangs, the potential for extreme violence being perpetrated against our citizens and our law enforcement officials is obviously a serious threat and must be dealt with swiftly and decisively by our federal government.
It is now estimated that there are, already, more gang members in our country than sworn police officers.
The discussions about the creation of a massive amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens as we are hearing at the present is nothing short of alarming! I you add the number of alien gang members with the number of United States citizens who have been and continue to be recruited into gangs now, the numbers are truly staggering!
It is a virtual certainty that such an amnesty would provide gang members with even more opportunities to enlist in our military to receive the training that would enable them to do to the United States what Los Zetas is now doing to Mexico.
You might say that the "handwriting is on the wall" and in this case the handwriting is the gang graffiti that is used to mark off territory by gangs seeking to control their turf..
Furthermore, it is unconscionable that this issue, of gang violence, is never addressed by so-called "pro-immigrant" organizations. These folks know damned well that these threats are often used by the various ethnic gangs and that this is not limited to just Latino gangs but is used by every gang from every foreign country and ethnicity.
The outrage is that often lawful immigrants who arrive in our country expecting to live a life free of the violence and threats of violence that terrified them in their home countries quickly find that the same thugs who made their lives miserable back home have managed to come to the United States and continue to prey upon them and their families both in the United States and in their home countries as well.
This is certainly not the "American Dream" but does represent one hell of a nightmare!
Don’t worry... thanks to all the bipartisanship in Congress, shamnesty will be a reality soon enough.
Still Bush's fault of course.
Mexico’s narcoterror is here. They’re recruiting from our military and fighting for control of our land.
Headline today: Record marijuana grow pulled up by the roots in Siskiyou County

What is truly interesting about this story is that the local CBS TV , KTVL Channel 10 affiliate finally ‘gets it’. They actually did some reporting on these pot farms being run on public lands by organized Mexican Drug Cartels after years of many of us pleading with them to inform the public of this danger. What is frightening, is how real that danger has become.
This marijuana grow stretched 2 miles. For years, our local sheriffs have fought these incursions, only to watch them grow more widespread. Siskiyou county is a conservative, quiet sparsely populated huge land mass. Along peaceful country roads that have been settled by old families, independent, self reliant types, late in the night citizens now hear voices in Spanish conversing as they walk up and down ‘patrolling’.
We knew the cartels were armed, that they contained the worst elements of Mexican organized crime; the Zeta’s, various cartels, MS-13, awol military.
What we didn’t know, is now that their enterprise of growing on millions of acres of USA land became so successful , is that now the cartels are at war with each other over ‘territory’ and contraband crops. One group may go in and cultivate the crop, only to have it taken with force by a better armed gang.
We have been warned for years in the counties of No.California and So. Oregon to stay clear of the ‘woods’, to never approach anything that looked like a pot farm.
Now we are being warned of the war between the cartels taking place on our peaceful country lanes. It is easier for the cartels to recruit laborers, with less risk to grow on these ‘protected sanctuaries’ than it is in Mexico. Where shall we go to escape?
Last week these cartels burned 860,000 acres in California. Will we become ‘collateral’ damage to their fires or their bullets? Unlike Mexico, in what has become an every day occurrence , we’ve had no beheadings...yet.
Our Department of Homeland security is spending billions in Mexico to help them fight these cartels there, to keep any of our guns from entering Mexico. But they say they don’t have the money to stop these invading armies from crossing the border and infiltrating our property. This congress refuses to fund a fence, but they’ll fund our people to go to Mexico and tell you this entire problem is the fault of the USA because some of our guns go to Mexico. When their criminal cast-offs are stopped from coming in, our guns will stop going out since the same people are working both sides of the border.
Will Senor Obama call out his civilian security force (ACORN) to make believe they are protecting us, while they actually are protecting the drug trade coming across the border.
“Gang members with military training pose a unique threat to law enforcement personnel because of the distinctive military skills that they possess and their willingness to teach these skills to fellow gang members. While the number of gang members trained by the military is unknown, the threat that they pose to law enforcement is potentially significant, particularly if gang members trained in weapons, tactics, and h planning pass this instruction on to other gang members.”
I remember reading this and was horrified. I am really disgusted with our people in DC. This is outrageous and the amnesty program needs to be killed ASAP.
Arpio (Maricopa County, AZ ) has been stymied at every turn by the FEDS and some local law enforcement, absolutely insane.
Article SNIPPET from the link in post no. 1:
"While this is the first known instance of a U.S. soldier working as an assassin for the drug cartels..."
It wouldn’t take a lot of money to compile a team of veterans to take out gangsters. I suppose you could call them a “Ronin team”. They would be the equivalent of “death squads”, but as long as they were discreet, and only disposed of serious multiple felon gangsters, and didn’t do too many, too fast, or all in the same place, I don’t think they would create too much of a stir.
Whose idea was it to fight a war on terror while keeping open borders and high immigration all at the same time? ADL/SPLC? Are we still doing this now?
Maybe should have less Patriot Act against Americans and more border control against foreigners.
