'It’s like a job fair in here': Mexican cartels tap U.S. prisons to get ‘criminal talent’ ....
Daily Mail ^ | 9 June 2013

Mexican drug cartels are recruiting convicts in U.S. prisons to work for them as drug runners, assassins and enforcers when they are released. One prisoner who is nearing the end of a 10-year sentence has said he was approached by Mexican drug gangs who wanted to give him 20kilograms of cocaine to sell when he got out - worth nearly half a million dollars on the street.

The prisoner said the Mexican drug gangs are beginning to see American prisons as a 'job fair' that can supply an endless stream of talent in the United States as prisoners are released back into society.

Inside-out: A federal incitement recently revealed that the federal prison at Forrest City, Arkansas, was being used as a recruitment center for the Gulf Cartel

'The conditions are perfect right now for the cartels,' the prison inmate told the Daily Beast.

'They have a pool of captivated untapped talent and ready-made resources which they can access in our prisons. I'm telling you, it’s like a job fair in here.'

Last month, the FBI indicted 16 members of the Gulf Cartel for bringing more than 100kilograms of cocaine into northern Arkansas, alleging the Mexican crime syndicate recruited numerous drug runners from the Federal Correctional Complex at Forrest City.

The recruits were hired to distribute the cocaine for the cartel after they were released from prison.

Interesting turn of events. UK press doing the work US press won’t do.

Of course, things will get better when we get 55 million new Mexicans.

Well, they may get plenty of useful drones from the prisons... But they get the most useful employees by trolling the halls of the U.S. Congress, and White House.

The UK press has been doing the work of the American press as far back as Clitoon.

Might be double pings here because as things become more complicated and incestuous, it is hard to differentiate between the bad guys on our side of the border from the bad guys on the Mexican side of the border.

I would like to know how much the drug flow has increased during clinton/bush and obama from the ME and from south of our own border, especially in the last 5 years. WHO has become richer than we can ever imagine for the unceasing destruction of human lives around the world so they can compete for the biggest, most tacky mansions and biggest yachts?

FREEPER ACTION ALERT-- NOW IS THE TIME TO NAIL THESE "REFORM" POLS. All of the info below ALSO applies to the massive law-breaking in prisons chronicled here....aiding and abetting felonies incurs penalties no matter where it occurs.

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

TALKING POINTS Illegal aliens who have forged and stolen Social Security numbers and other official govt documents will get citizenship if Sen Schmucky Schumer (D-NY) has his way.

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

REFERENCE: Judiciary Committee member Sen Grassley offered a simple amendment to the members now considering the immigration bill. "The secretary (of homeland security) may not grant registered provisional immigrant status to an alien under this section unless the alien fully discloses to the secretary all the names and Social Security account numbers that the alien has ever used to obtain employment in the United States," said Grassley's amendment.

Grassley's amendment would not have prohibited illegal aliens from being converted into legal aliens just because they had used names and Social Security numbers that did not belong to them. It would only have required that the illegal aliens make the names and numbers they used known to DHS before they could be granted the right to legally live in the United States.

Grassley said, "Congress should not thumb its nose at the millions of Americans who are victims of identity theft, often perpetrated by an undocumented person who steals Social Security numbers to get jobs, govt benefits, driver's licenses and more. This amendment will simply require the person applying for RPI status to disclose any previously used Social Security numbers," said Grassley. "It's the first step to helping clean up the mess that's been created for the victim of identity theft. The amendment also authorizes certain federal agencies, upon receipt of this information, to notify individuals who were the victims."

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

ON RECORD AS AIDING AND AETTING FELONIES Ranking member Sen Schumer dismissed Grassley's proposal. "When people are living in undocumented status, there are times, I suppose, when they've made up identities, made up Social Security numbers," Schumer told his Judiciary Committee colleagues. "How are they going to remember all that, and are we going to delay RPI status? "(The) purpose of this bill is to bring people out of the shadows. We all know when they lived in the shadows, they had to forge documents, forge Social Security numbers, et cetera. I just don't see how, when you've lived here 10 years, and you've had many different identities, many different numbers, you're going to remember them all," said Schumer.

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

The Senate Judiciary committee then defeated Grassley's amendment 8 to 10 on a party-line vote.

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

ACTION ALERT Freepers should mobolize locally--get grand juries to begin indicting these Senators for FAILING TO UPHOLD THE LAW AGAINST FELONIES. A few convictions and imprisonment oughta wake up the treasonous Congress. KEEP IN MIND---those elected to office are held to a higher standard of law than we peons....but have never been held to account.

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

Interesting turn of events. UK press doing the work US press won’t do.

The US press it totally controlled by their sources - and their 'sources' are Democrat operatives.

It stated out as a cheap way to get leads... turned into a necessity as newspapers downsized and reporter's time became scarce.
