"Not to forget that today’s Mexican “government” is the direct descendant of a violent, corrupt, atheist, extremely oppressive communist regime installed by revolution ending in the 1920s. It’s not just the drug cartels ruining the country; the official government is not much (if any) better."

Well todays US government is a direct descendant of Mohammed, and supports corrupt drug and human trafficking Radical Islamists, who want to destroy Israel and the US, and establish a world Caliphate. We are no better. We are all victims of treasonous governments, and we could be the people on a train like that in a matter of years. The US is equally at fault for Mexico's problems. Soros played a part in helping to establish these Narco nations, the same way he installed Obama. Nothing is what it seems. May God help us all.

Gee, throw in the W.T. Grant Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trust and you'd have the entire roster of big time NPR donors.

This ain't the Atcheson, Topeka and the Santa Fe w/ bathroom breaks and snack
bars along the route. No running water and flush toilets on those freight trains,

The Beast is a freight train---not intended to carry passengers. The Daily/Mail reported the aliens pay big bucks to ride atop the freight train---but threats, attacks and extortion by drug cartels continue en route after the train departs. Getting shot is a distinct possibility.

=============================================

MGIST POSTED: Thousand of accusations of human rights abuse, and even reports of murders have surfaced. The migrants also report train operators SOP of extorting illegals.

The trains involved in these accusations are public companies, traded on NASDAQ, with "very influential stockholders", such as Clinton and Carlos Slim. Other stockholders include,T Rowe Price, Bank of America, and General Electric. these transportation companies are also apparently involved in the Narco trade, and that the companies are aware of the abusive practices their train operators are engaging in. Given that Mexican resident, Carlos Slim, owns the NY Times and the spanish language news stations, this article may not last long.

===============================================

This is all about human trafficking, narco trafficking, and government and corporate collusion.

This involves racketeering, and falls under (1) RICO laws b/c it involves patterns of criminal behavior, and, (2) the Hobbs Act---b/c states are economically undermined, expected to provide limitless govt handouts to non-citizens.

=================================================

REFERENCE SOURCE justice.gov---Criminal Resource Manual ---Section 9-131.000---THE HOBBS ACT—18 U.S.C. § 1951

The Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C. § 1951) prohibits actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce. Section 1951 also proscribes conspiracy to commit robbery or extortion without reference to the conspiracy statute at 18 U.S.C. § 371. Although the Hobbs Act was enacted as a statute to combat racketeering in labor-management disputes, the statute is frequently used in connection with cases involving public corruption, commercial disputes, and corruption directed at members of labor unions (has been recently utilized against corrupt elected officials).

Primary investigative jurisdiction of offenses in 18 U.S.C. § 1951 lies with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Inspector General's Office of Investigations, Division of Labor Racketeering (formerly the Office of Labor Racketeering), United States Department of Labor, is also authorized to investigate violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1951 in labor-management disputes involving the extortion of property from employers by reason of authority conferred on investigators as Special Deputy United States Marshals.--snip--

=================================================

Migrant crimes most probably include (1) falsifying official documents, (2) giving false info to US authorities, (3) stealing SS nos, (4) faking multiple identities, (5) receiving govt monies under false pretenses, (6)falsifying tax returns to get EITC refunds, (7) money-laundering via remittanced to homelands, (8) colluding w/ criminal drug cartels to violate US borders...perhaps aiding and abetting by carrying drugs into the US.

MEXICANS BLAME AMERICANS FOR 'DEATH TRAIN'

Complaint filed against U.S. owners of 'Beast' hauling illegals

Published: 07/13/2014 JEROME R. CORSI


NEW YORK – The infamous Mexican “Death Train” – also called “La Bestia” ["The Beast'] – on which tens of thousands of illegal alien children from Central America are traveling through Mexico to the United States – is being targeted by criminal complaints from Mexican authorities for allegedly violating the civil rights of passengers.

The Beast is owned and run by a Mexican wholly owned subsidiary of Kansas City Southern, a U.S. train company that acquired the Mexican equipment and routes in 2005 to create a “NAFTA Railroad” that was intended to fit into a multi-modal transportation technology so Chinese companies could deliver products into the heartland of the United States as an alternative to utilizing the West Coast ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Mexican prosecutors have filed criminal complaints charging railroad with complicity in violations of the civil rights of the thousands of unaccompanied minors from Central America illegally hitching rides on the train in their efforts to cross into the U.S. over the border with Mexico.

That flood has surged over the last few months, and critics of President Obama say it’s being encouraged by his program to defer deportation proceedings for young illegal aliens, suggesting to them that if they are able to cross into the United States, housing, education, medical and even legal assistance await.

As reported at the time, Kansas City Southern (KCS, NYSE: KSU) completed on April 1, 2005, the acquisition of Mexican Railroad TFM, S.A. de C.V., an acquisition that gained for KCS all the common stock of Groupo Transportacion Ferrovaria Mexicana, S.A. de C.V., the holding company that owned TFM.

The 2005 KCS acquisition of the Mexican railroad occurred under the broad canopy of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, first announced by President George W. Bush in a meeting with the president of Mexico and the prime minister of Canada, held in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005.

In December 2005, KCS changed the name of TFM to Kansas City Southern de Mexico (KCSM), a key piece in putting together the “NAFTA Railroad,” a marketing brand KCS at that time used to describe its North American rail service bringing together KCSM in Mexico and the Kansas City Southern Railroad (KCSR) in the United States.

In 2006, WND reported that Kansas City Southern plans in creating a “NAFTA Railroad” sought to link Mexican deep-water port Lazaro Cardenas as an alternative route for Chinese product shipping containers to enter the United States through Mexico, instead of through the West Coast ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

The plans would use KCSSM and KCS multi-modal railroad links to transport the Chinese consumer goods to a Mexican government customs office operated by Mexico as part of what then was being designed as the Kansas City Inland Port, or SmartPort.

But in a press report from Veracruz, Mexico, dated March 31, 2014, the attorney general of the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Luis Ángel Bravo Contreras, filed a criminal complaint with federal prosecutors against Kansas City Southern de Mexico and Ferrosur. (Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the lawsuit was against the U.S. parent company.)

The charges are that the railroad companies were complicit in the commission of various crimes against migrants jumping on the train for a ride to the Mexican border, including the crimes of robbery, human trafficking, kidnapping, murder and extortion.

A map produced by the Jesuit Migrant Service of Mexico and reprinted by the Washington Office of Latin America, WOLA, a Washington-based NGO [Non-Governmental Organization] aimed at protecting immigrant civil rights, demonstrates train routes into Texas are the shortest route for Central American unaccompanied minors to enter the United States through Mexico.


TrainRoute Main cargo railroad lines from Mexico to United States, route map. As seen in the KCSM route map below, the eastern cargo railroad lines in Mexico are KCSM owned and operated, with a New York Times publication dated May 10, 2014, providing additional confirmation that “La Bestia” is run by Ferrosur and Kansas City Southern de Mexico, KCSM.


KCSouthern Kansas City Southern de Mexico, KCSM, route map. A WOLA report issued June 17, 2014, described the difficulty illegal immigrants taking “La Bestia” north as follows:

“Migrants in the southern border zone are drawn to ‘La Bestia,’ the train that heads northward to central Mexico and then on to the U.S. border. For hundreds of miles they ride on the roofs of the train cars trying to avoid fatal falls, hot days, frigid nights, and low-clearance tunnels. Every eight to ten days or so, trains depart from two routes that originate near the southern border.”

Not only is the ride physically dangerous, WOLA noted, but the lax security on “La Bestia” leaves migrants at the mercy of Mexican gangs, bandits, kidnapers and corrupt officials. “The stunning frequency of kidnapping, extortion, human trafficking, rape, and homicide puts Central American migrants’ plight in Mexico atop the list of the Western Hemisphere’s worst humanitarian emergencies,” the WOLA report concluded.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi solicited comment from Kansas City Southern prior to this story’s publication, he did not receive the following email response from KCS until after the story was posted, due to a technical problem. An updated story can be read here. Here are KCS’s emailed comments in full:

Kansas City Southern de Mexico (“KCSM”, a subsidiary of Kanas City Southern, “KCS”, operating in Mexico) and KCS are aware of the situation where immigrants illegally board trains, mainly Central American immigrants coming from Mexico’s southern border where KCSM does not operate. The “La Bestia” train often shown and referred to in media reports in southern Mexico is not on KCSM and KCSM does not operate such a train.

Because this situation mainly involves immigrants coming from Mexico’s southern border where KCSM does not operate, the number of people illegally boarding KCSM trains north of this region is minimal and subject to heavy railroad security enforcement and respect for human rights.

KCSM complies strictly with the security laws and regulations maintaining close coordination with Mexican and U.S. federal immigration and security authorities. KCSM has regulations for its security crews who must respect the physical integrity of any person who might gain access to one of its trains traveling illegally on the railway.

KCSM has made significant investments during past years to increase the security of railway operations in terms of technology, security staff, intelligence, as well as operating systems related to security in stations, shipping points and the main points of our railway network to prevent this kind of illegal activity with success.

“They’ll NEVER fix the “problem”....because they ARE the problem!”

I’m in my mid 70’s, and my parents showed me that reality before I was a teenager re the liberals charades of fixing any problem.

Then, it was driven home to me when/after LBJ declared the War on Poverty and widened the war in Nam.

Liberals never fix anything. They just milk the tax payers while doing their charades of fixing the problems. Of course there is never enough money to “fix” any problem in spite of millions, billions and trillions wasted with their charades.

The trains should be derailed.

Groups wanting to stop the illegals should go derail the trains at widely spaced intervals of a 100 miles or so
