We have areas of town and small towns around us that you just don't go to.

hard to believe we are talking about the USA, if this were Iraq, or even France it would make the news, but since it is California a state that everyone had expected to slip off into the pacific someday anyhow, why bother with these problems is the attitude, sigh...

Some critics cite the detention and removal policy, which DHS now advocates, as the very reason why these illegal alien gangs are growing into international threats.

Yeah, sure. It's our fault for jailing then deporting these criminal monsters.

If our authorities at all levels won't/can't handle them, then there seems only one other effective solution. Homegrown "death squads" will eventually be in our future if our government doesn't wise up quickly by closing our borders and really cracking down on these criminals.

This problem is going to get taken care of one way or the other or we will be turned into a turd world shiitehole like the countries these people slithered from.

If the Liberals think they are doing a lot of hand wringing now over the unfairness of it all, wait until the violence starts turning up in their neighborhoods (obviously, it hasn't yet or they would be screaming for help from the politicians). But when the bound bodies of these gang members eventually start getting dumped on their quiet little streets as well, they will really freak out!

Hey, that's life in a turd world shiitehole, Liberals. Get over it. You wanted it. You will get it if you insist on it!

The ones that i know and there are several including all their officers in the Mid South area are very well respected in the community and get along well with local law enforcement. They also do a lot of charity events.

So do the Hell's Angels. Though I wouldn't exactly call them "well-resepected in the community". What's your point? That they are not as described in the article?

According to the FBI there are 500,000 violent illegal aliens in this country now.

I guess noone really gets it unless you live in the middle of it and remember how it used to be.

And even those who "get it" have the luxury of living in gated communities, have bodyguards and people to do their shopping for them. They are insulated, and don't care about ordinary Americans who are not only putting up with the mess, but are forced to finance it.

We have a small town south of where I live that my husband worked in for years. People would ask him where he worked and he would answer....in Lamont, where murder is still a misdemeanor. It is 97% hispanic and at least half are illegals.
Our favorite restaurant is out there but luckily it is on the corner of a major street in and out of town. We go straight to the restaurant and straight back out of town. We don't dare travel down main street after dark.

You are right, it is pathetic.

There is a simple solution- A $10 federal hunting license for gang members and a $20,000 bounty for a body. That's about what a year in prison costs. It won't take long before these bums realize hordes of law-abiding citizens are out to kill them. They will go to another country. Problem solved:)

Everyone we know is leaving or working on leaving. Most of our friends are in law enforcement or firefighting and they know how bad it really is.
As they have retired or set dates for retirement they all have bot property out of state.
We are leaving summer of '07.

They face additional jail time if they illegally re-enter the country.

Psst, Villarreal, when you come back across, go through El Paso! The sheriff is spreading the word LE isn't going to check pickups with 32 guys hanging out the back or ask questions about legal status.

Oh yeah, I cringe now days thinking back in my younger days I was a CPS worker and before that a jobs placement worker and had to go to those houses all by myself. It caused a few spine shivers then, but there's no way I'd do that work today.

Not the same Pistoleros as yours.

The Hermano Pistoleros are composed mainly of Latino offenders from throughout Texas. Recently, there has been a lot of activity in the Corpus Christi Area involving this gang. They are known to use a HPL or a .45 caliber automatic pistol tattoo.

These South Texas GANGS are CRIMINALS not motorcycle CLUBS!! Did you read the article??

You do know that Pistoleros is Gunmen in English?

They don't need no stinking permission from any MC or RC Club, or anybody, to use the word Pisoleros!!

¿Comprenda?
