MEXICAN GANG LAND OF Los Angeles - REALLY WANT THESE PEOPLE AS VOTERS?

WHO GETS THE LA RAZA DEMS’ AMNESTY BAILOUT?

“In recent years, Florencia has been subjected to mass arrests and one of the largest federal indictments of a California street gang. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office set aside a prosecutor to exclusively handle homicides committed on Florencia's turf.”

“Florencia works with Latin American cartels to smuggle cocaine, according to federal officials, and recently it became one of the first gangs to introduce the traditionally rural drug methamphetamine into the city's core. Authorities say the gang also does a thriving business in identity theft and is responsible for much of the area's bootleg DVDs.”

The Christian Science Monitor declares Mexican occupied LOS ANGELES as the “Mexican Gang Capital of American”.
Los Angeles has 500 – 1,000 gang related murder a year that cost nearly one million (gringo) dollars a year to prosecute. More murders than the entire European Union! 95% of all murder arrests are for Mexicans. They are the most violent culture in the hemisphere!
Los Angeles has a few other interesting stats under Mayor Antonio “Taco Runt’ Villaraigosa. This mayor is a member of the highly racist and fascist party of LA RAZA… “The Race”. The party dedicated to Mexican supremacy. “ANYTHING FOR THE RACE, NOTHING FOR OTHERS!”
Mexican gangs have murdered African-Americans in cold blood to “ethnically cleanse” their occupied zones.
And you wonder why Barack OBAMA and the La Raza Dems are once again pushing for amnesty? Even if they don’t achive a legal “amnesty, things will not change! The LA RAZA DEMS already have 38 million “cheap” labor illegals, and more pouring over the OPEN AND UNDEFENDED BORDERS every day.
The Mexican invasion and occupation could be ended in one day by putting employers of illegals in jails. Two that employ illegals that would make a good start are LA RAZA DEM DIANNE FEINSTEIN, who hires illegals at her S. F hotel, and LA RAZA PELOSI who hires illegals at her Napa winery!
THESE LIFER POLITICIANS WILL ONLY SELL US OUT. BANKSTERS, DRUGSTERS, SAUDI BUSH INTERESTS, AND ILLEGALS.
! WE ARE MEXICO’S WELFARE SYSTEM! HERE IT IS ONLY PART OF OUR FAST CORPORATE WELFARE SYSTEM THAT OWNS THE DEMOCRATIC LA RAZA PARTY!

Lou Dobbs Tonight
And there are some 800,000 gang members in this country: That’s more than the combined number of troops in our Army and Marine Corps. These gangs have become one of the principle ways to import and distribute drugs in the United States. Congressman David Reichert joins Lou to tell us why those gangs are growing larger and stronger, and why he’s introduced legislation to eliminate the top three international drug gangs.

PROMISE AND PERIL IN SOUTH L.A.
Living the American dream, with a gang twist
Some members of Florencia 13, one of L.A.'s largest gangs, live a suburban, settled lifestyle with good jobs. But they are proud of their ties to the gang, which they call 'the neighborhood.'
By Scott Gold
December 31, 2009
In a working-class neighborhood east of the Los Angeles city limits, Roberto Becerra ducked under the eave of the Spanish-tile roof he recently rebuilt for his mother and stepped into the RV parked in the driveway.

He's been working on the camper for months now. New carpeting. A TV on a swivel. Little houseplants on the bookshelves, tied to the wall so they don't fall over. The thing's got some years on it; the sunset-style paint job screams 1970s. "But it's coming along," he said, brushing his hand along the new drapes.

Becerra's is a thoroughly suburban American life. Sort of.

He's nuts about hockey and Oktoberfest. He works as a foreman on high-end construction sites. He's got a kid on the way, and when he has time he jots a few words in a baby book. When asked to describe his reaction when he learned of the pregnancy, he wrote: "Daddy told every one of his employees."

Look closer, though, and you'll find a curious key chain hanging from a nail on one wall of the house. It's the hand of a skeleton, the fingers contorted to form the letter "F."

There's another "F" next to Becerra's right eye. Another on the hockey jersey he bought his girlfriend recently. Another on the bill of the hard hat he wears at work -- reminders, everywhere, of his allegiance to one of the largest and most confounding gangs in the metropolis: Florencia 13.

In recent years, Florencia has been subjected to mass arrests and one of the largest federal indictments of a California street gang. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office set aside a prosecutor to exclusively handle homicides committed on Florencia's turf.

Once gangs evolve into full-fledged criminal enterprises, authorities often saddle them with court injunctions that limit their movements and activities. Florencia has three such injunctions.

But according to law enforcement officials and gang members, Florencia has grown ever more powerful and influential, subsuming smaller gangs and staying ahead of the police by diversifying its criminal pursuits.

According to gang members, Florencia now has 46 active "cliques" and as many as 7,000 members.

Other large gangs -- such as 18th Street and Mara Salvatrucha, which rival or exceed Florencia's size -- are composed of loosely affiliated cliques scattered across a wide area. But most of Florencia is clustered in a contiguous area that now includes not just Florence-Firestone, its historical domain, but Huntington Park, Bell, Walnut Park and stretches of South L.A. and Watts.

The cluster is five miles wide and as deep as three miles -- where a single gang is dominant, where kids can often be heard shouting "F-1-3!" That scope presents law enforcement with a daunting challenge, because the gang has become virtually synonymous with the community itself, particularly among Latino men.

"They are so deeply rooted," said Adan Torres, a veteran Los Angeles County sheriff's detective who has devoted much of his career to policing Florencia. "You can't go on any block without encountering one of them. . . . The homeowners are former gangbangers who made it, but now their kids are gangbanging. It's a cycle."

Indeed, many are born into it.

When Sonny Ontiveros was a boy, both of his parents were sent to prison; his father was killed there, and his mother served 15 years for robbery. Ontiveros, now 34 and a father of five who works the graveyard shift as a machine operator, said that he was, in effect, raised by Florencia -- "the only familia I ever had."

Florencia has become both a menacing street gang and a way of life. In that void, there are hundreds of veteranos like Roberto Becerra -- proud, unapologetic members of Florencia, yet seemingly uninvolved in the gang's criminal enterprises.

Becerra is known to all as Flaco, the nickname he has scrawled on the ceiling of his otherwise spotless RV. He lives a content, uncluttered life in an odd netherworld, a 43-year-old man with "TOWN DRUNK" tattooed across his knuckles and two hands clasped in prayer etched on his chest, a gang member with a day job and a business card.

Born in the '50s

Oh, Florence, I love you so

Oh, Florence, be true to me

"Florence," The Paragons, 1957

Borrowing its name from East Florence Avenue, Florencia began in the 1950s as a neighborhood protector near Roosevelt Park, a bustling, diverse enclave of bungalow-style housing built to serve the workers at the nearby factories. It was a time of fedoras and zoot suits, of car clubs and doo-wop music like that Paragons tune, which was adopted as the gang's theme song.

But in the ensuing years, Florencia moved into increasingly serious criminal enterprises, particularly after becoming an ally of the Mexican Mafia, a powerful prison-based "supergang" that shapes much of the state's gang activity.

Authorities say several ranking members of Florencia are also members of the Mexican Mafia. "La Eme," they say, has assisted Florencia's efforts to control the flow of drugs into a sizable chunk of L.A. It has also made Florencia famously disciplined. Members are expected to stay in top physical condition; that way, if they're arrested, they can assist in maintaining control of the prison yards, according to those familiar with the gang.

Florencia works with Latin American cartels to smuggle cocaine, according to federal officials, and recently it became one of the first gangs to introduce the traditionally rural drug methamphetamine into the city's core. Authorities say the gang also does a thriving business in identity theft and is responsible for much of the area's bootleg DVDs.

'I don't claim'

Late one Saturday, police drew their guns and raced to surround a tiny house in South L.A., part of a sweep of suspected Florencia members. Inside, officers found red beans cooking on the stove. On one wall was a needlepoint sign that read: "Love grows happy hearts."

They also found Cesar "Demon" Ortiz, 31, an alleged Florencia member with a history of drug, theft and assault charges.

"Who do you claim?" Officer Matt Ensley asked him, street vernacular for asking someone's gang affiliation. "I don't claim," Ortiz said.

Ensley looked under his T-shirt, where the word "FLORENCIA" was tattooed in block letters. "You got it on your stomach!" Ensley said.

"Yeah. But I don't walk around without my shirt on," Ortiz replied sheepishly. He told the officers he'd gone straight since prison, that he was a father now, not a gang member.

"I just got mixed up with the wrong people," Ortiz said.

"But you got the name 'Demon,' " Ensley said.

"I didn't pick it."

"But you had to earn it."

"Yeah."

Sweeps are commonplace in Florencia strongholds -- and enormously controversial.

Major investigations have sent scores of ranking Florencia members to prison in recent years, including a 2007 indictment of 102 men linked to the gang -- an action described at the time by federal officials as "the largest gang takedown in American history."

Police acknowledge that a small percentage of documented Florencia members commit the majority of the gang's serious crimes, but they make no apologies for the crackdown.

"We've gotten the main players, the most violent players, out of the game," said Torres, the sheriff's detective. "In 10 years, there is going to be a major difference."

A distinct clientele

In Florencia strongholds, many argue that young Latino men are treated harshly and unfairly -- and that the area needs jobs, better schools and youth programs, not intensive suppression.

The gang, for instance, has long held carwashes to raise money for one another; when somebody dies, the gang often pays for funeral costs. That tradition has faded because the injunctions' strictest provisions prohibit gang members from associating in public. Gang members also contend that the police crackdown has hamstrung them -- leaving them unable to defend and protect their neighborhoods.

One recent afternoon, Rene "Scrappy" Suarez Jr., 22, strolled along Pacific Avenue, in Huntington Park. The stores there are forthright about their clientele. One sells boots adorned with an image of Jesus Malverde, a legendary bandit who has become a folk "saint" among some drug traffickers. When Suarez entered another store and inquired about jeans, the saleswoman -- knowing that most Florencianos wear their pants as baggy as possible -- offered him a size-46 waist for his 32-inch frame.

Suarez said he began selling crack for Florencia at the age of 12, with a Beretta pistol in his waistband. He later became a "gunner" -- "more muscle than hustle," he said -- because it was a "more valuable trade."

More recently, Suarez says he's put the criminal life behind him and has been instrumental in developing an "understanding" between Florencia and 18th Street, a traditional rival -- something the police were never able to do, he is quick to point out.

After leaving one store, Suarez spied a piece of graffiti on a lamppost left by someone from another neighborhood. It was, he said, an affront from an outside gang that would never have occurred if Florencia had been left to its own devices to patrol the neighborhood.

"If there was any illegal business going on in this neighborhood, it was coming from us," he said. "Nobody did anything -- robbing a liquor store, nothing -- without us. It was tightly run, with pride. . . . . If you're going to harm my neighborhood, I'm going to harm you."

'It's who you are'

No matter how much pressure is applied to Florencia, men like Roberto "Flaco" Becerra, who act not as criminals but as elders and mentors, will continue to be the tendons connecting the gang with the community itself.

There is a Flaco, it seems, in every Latino gang in L.A.; it means "skinny" in Spanish. This Flaco was an excellent student, but his interest waned toward the end of high school. He was arrested for the first time as a teenager, for shoplifting magazines, and left school shortly before graduation. The gang -- he calls it "the neighborhood" -- came calling about the same time. He was brought in with a traditional 13-second beating that left him with a busted lip and a broken rib. It was, he said, simply what you did.

"It just happens," he said. "It's just your neighborhood. It's who you are."

His parallel lives began.

He began working on construction sites and was soon asked to run portions of the jobs. Today he is something akin to a superintendent, with 20 employees on several sites, most in the Hollywood area.

He is entrusted to hand out paychecks to his employees on Fridays -- and entrusted to count the 13 seconds when a new member is "courted" into the gang with a beating: "One one thousand, two one thousand . . . "

"But my neighborhood is with me too. And it's never going to go away. Never."

SELLING US OUT TO ILLEGALS:
“Senior White House aides privately have assured Latino activists that the president will back legislation next year to provide a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.”

“In addition to the citizenship provision, the emerging plan will emphasize efforts to secure U.S. borders against those trying to cross illegally” SECURING THE BORDERS? THAT MEANS KEEPING THEM OPEN FOR THE EASE OF ILLEGALS!

MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL IN CHICAGO! WHILE OBAMA & GUTIERREZ SHOVE AMNESTY DOWN OUR THROATS AGAIN!

Flores drug indictment gives clues to Mexican cartels' networks in the U.S.
By Steve Fainaru and William Booth
Thursday, December 31, 2009; A06
The Flores brothers had never looked like much in the eyes of local narcotics agents. But by the time it all came crashing down this year, the drug-distribution network allegedly run by the 28-year-old twins from the Mexican American barrios of Chicago was one of the largest and most sophisticated ever seen in the U.S. heartland, according to interviews and federal indictments.
Pedro and Margarito Flores allegedly operated as an American annex to a major Mexican drug mafia, and their arrest and the dismantling of their purported network opened a window on how powerful Mexican cartels operate in the United States, distributing cocaine and heroin with the corporate efficiency of UPS, while back home competitors are tortured and beheaded.
The fortunes of the Flores twins changed because the war on the cartels being waged in Mexico with U.S. help has reshaped the criminal landscape in both countries, generating unprecedented violence but also contributing to the kinds of vicious splits and betrayals that helped in the brothers' arrests, according to narcotics agents and federal indictments.
The sprawling drug operation was essentially a $700 million-a-year distributorship for the Sinaloa cartel, the largest criminal organization in Mexico. It used tractor-trailers to import two tons of cocaine each month for distribution from Chicago warehouses, with cash proceeds shrink-wrapped and shipped back across the border.
The crackdown launched by Mexican President Felipe Calderón has cost more than 16,000 lives and been widely criticized in both countries as ineffective in reining in the drug barons and slowing the flow of drugs into the United States. But the campaign has exposed networks such as the one allegedly run by the Flores brothers, which shipped cocaine from Los Angeles to Chicago and then distributed it to cities across the Midwest, according to interviews and the indictments.
Other than the indictments, few court papers have been filed in the case. The Flores brothers are in U.S. custody; attempts to reach their attorneys were unsuccessful.
Chicago is hardly alone as a home to Mexican cartels; the traffickers operate in 230 U.S. cities, the Justice Department says. But the competition in Chicago might be unusually fierce, with each of the five major Mexican cartels vying for business.
"Much like any legitimate corporation, the drug organizations utilize Chicago as both a distribution and trans-shipment point for their product," Stephen A. Luzinski, acting special agent-in-charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration office here, said in an interview. "The extensive accessibility to various modes of transportation, as well as the large and diverse population with an established customer base, makes Chicago an ideal location as a hub."
The family business
Pedro and Margarito Flores were born into a Mexican immigrant family with strong ties to the narcotics trade. Chicago detectives say their father ran drugs for the Sinaloa cartel, as did an older brother. The family melded into the culture in rough neighborhoods such as Little Village and Pilsen, where the Latin Kings and Two-Six gangs fight for turf.
The brothers eventually took over a barbershop and a Mexican restaurant called Mama's Kitchen. They moved to a more expensive neighborhood and drove better cars. But unlike in Mexico, where high-level traffickers are household names, the twins had low profiles.
In Chicago, "you are only as good as your connection," said a former drug dealer who served 10 years in prison and spoke on the condition of anonymity because of security concerns. And the Flores brothers reportedly had the best connections in town.
Authorities said the brothers worked for two factions of the Sinaloa cartel. One was headed by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the most wanted man in Mexico, recently named by Forbes magazine as the 41st most-powerful person in the world. The other was by Arturo Beltrán Leyva, whose self-appointed nickname -- the Boss of All Bosses -- frequently appeared on messages displayed next to mutilated corpses.
Factional trade, warfare
As described in court documents, the brothers' reach extended deep into Mexico, where Guzmán, Beltrán Leyva and their associates used Boeing 747 jets, private aircraft, submarines, container ships, fishing vessels and speedboats to consolidate enormous shipments of cocaine from Central and South America, including Colombia and Panama.
The Sinaloa cartel in Mexico was tasked with getting the drugs across the border for pickup in a warehouse outside Los Angeles. The Flores brothers allegedly employed dozens of operators to bring the drugs north, including truck drivers who concealed the contraband amid shipments of fruit, vegetables and other consumer goods, and off-loaded cocaine and heroin in the Chicago area at nondescript warehouses, condominiums and brick duplexes managed by their criminal gang. The drugs were split into smaller quantities and "fronted" to customers, who would pay after they sold the contraband on the street.
But the two Sinaloa factions split last year over the Mexican government's arrest of Beltrán Leyva's brother. The resulting violence consumed several Mexican states and, ultimately, Chicago, as the factions fought over "control of lucrative narcotics trafficking routes into the United States, and the loyalty of wholesale narcotics customers, including the Flores Brothers," according to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The brothers were said to be caught in the middle, with both Sinaloa factions threatening violence against them to maintain control over the critical distribution network. Ultimately, U.S. authorities were able to infiltrate the purported Flores crew, setting up sham cocaine sales to make dozens of arrests and to seize more than three metric tons of cocaine.
Pressure on both sides
It is not clear whether the Flores brothers are cooperating with the authorities, but they face life in prison if convicted, and authorities are seeking the forfeiture of more than $1.8 billion. In August, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney for the district, called the indictments "the most significant drug importation conspiracies ever charged in Chicago."
Authorities and people familiar with the drug trade say violence in Mexico and increased enforcement -- symbolized by the Flores case -- are having a dramatic effect on Chicago street sales, at least for now. The wholesale price for a kilo of cocaine -- about 2.2 pounds -- has surged in the past 18 months, from $18,000 to $29,000 and often more, according to authorities.
U.S. officials declined to discuss specifics of the case or whether information from the investigation helped lead Mexican authorities to Beltrán Leyva, who was killed this month during a two-hour gun and grenade battle with Mexican forces in the city of Cuernavaca.
But Anthony Placido, chief of intelligence for the DEA, said in an interview that pressure on both sides of the border has forced the cartels to rely increasingly on inexperienced operators such as the Flores twins.
"There have always been gatekeepers -- people who use their familial relationships to facilitate the movement of drugs across the border," Placido said. "Those people used to be gods, and they would control an area for years. Now they often last months before they are arrested or assassinated.
"What that creates is opportunities for a 28-year-old who . . . isn't worried about dying," he said.

IN LA RAZA HARRY REID'S NEVADA ONE AMERICAN STANDS UP FOR LAWS AGAINST ILLEGALS

Only One Person Has Came Out Against Illegal Aliens...... (Clark County)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2009-12-24, 4:46AM PST
Reply to: see below

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To date everyone is tapping dancing around the illegal alien issue.

However, only one person! One candidate has came out in direct opposition to the illegal problem and will tackle it if elected to the Clark County Commission as the Commissioner for District F.

The Independent American Party of Nevada candidate has on his website this exact fact that he will not tolerate the illegals here in Clark County.

IAW a question I submitted to him was how was he going to stop it. He replied back to me, that he was not going to give one single, repeat, one single builder a permit to build in Clark County if they do not provide to him the names of every employee that is hired and the E-verify federal program results of this to determine if they are legal!!

In addition, as a ex-Federal Contracting Officer and an ex-Immigration Official, he will do what he did for the federal government and impose the requirement of E-verify in every contract that is to be let by the Clark County government as part of the contract itself. This will also include the requirement to the person who got the contract to require that all sub-contractors also comply with the E-verify federal required program!

Now if you don't remember, when the 9/11 Commission wrote this E-verify requirement, Dirty Harry was full of praise for it. Remember George Mitchell and other previous high ranking federal personnel did this in an impartial and non partisan venue and old Dirty Harry was singing its praises!

However, he failed to ensure that the E-verify is being done properly and he is so damn stupid he doesn't realize it is part of evey government contract that is prepared. He is so damn dense he doesn't know this because it is so beneath him to even know how a contract is made!

But the Independent American Party of Nevada candidate is aware of the process and will, not approve any bids for any contracts paid for with taxpayer dollars unless this E-verify federal process is done!!!

He will not vote for any permits for any builder that does not require E-verify for theirselves and their companies. By his refusing to vote for any builder that hires day workers, he will ensure that the Union tradesmen and others in our community get the work first and foremost!

His being a prior Union Shop Steward gives him a degree of respect for the tradesmen in our community and does not agree with giving jobs to illegals at all!!

Additionally this Independent American Party of Nevada candidate for the position of the Clark County Commission for District F, will work with ICE to clean up the Home Depots, Lowe's and the many garden suppliers where the illegals swarm everyday to! As an ex-Immigration official, he knows the laws as they pertain to the Department of Homeland Security and he will demand, repeat demand, that the local ICE people do their jobs and pick these people up regardless of how the ACLU will react, because the ACLU does not run this country and we have LAWS!

So whom am I voting for? After e-mailing this person, it is obvious to me, that because he is an American, a veteran, an ex-Union steward, ex-federal contracting officer and Immigration official, I know it is he, who is the best choice every in this community in more than 50 years since I moved here and began voting!!!

Screw the democrats who suck up to the unions and promise them every thing but deliver squat! You would think the unions would realize this by now, just look at how many union employees in Clark County are being fired at Christmas and later next month!! All union employees and the SEIU has said SHIT!!

I want someone who is a real American and who will stand up for the people via jobs and stop the illegal aliens from infesting our city more!!

We have too many Americans out of work and these illegals are being hired by the builders and being paid cash, depriving our communities of tax revenue and paying into the various other programs, i.e, FITW and FICA, etc.

Next year, there won't be a single one standing that is up for re-election or even attempting to run!!

Make my day, give me democrats to fire on the ballot, as I have a group listing being compiled right now, and it has Dirty Harry, Titus, Berkely, Rory Reid, and Rory Reid's appointed commissioner, Susan Brager and I am not being biased, I have also include Dennis Nolan (R) for voting against the governor last year and fuking up our budget for this year in Nevada and leaving the Governor to take the heat for it!

NO DRIVER'S LICENSE? NO PROBLEM IF YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL

EVERY DAY THERE ARE 12 AMERICANS MURDERED BY ILLEGALS. TYPICALLY ILLEGALS DRIVING WITHOUT LICENSE, INSURANCE, AND WITH THE VEHICLE IN REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A NOMINEE OR WITH CLOUDY REGISTRATION TO DIVERT IMPOUNDING.

ONE-FOURTH OF ALL DRIVERS IN LOS ANGELES (15 MILLION PEOPLE) ARE ILLEGALS DRIVING WITHOUT INSURANCE

While in traffic court the other day, the illegals would stand before the judge. The judge would ask if they had a license, they said NO. He asked if they wanted a license or to pay the (modest) fine. They would rather pay. Same scenario with insurance. "They" didn't want the insurance or the license, they just paid the fine, one after the other. Nothing goes on their driving records, because they don't have one. Their rates don't go up because they don't have insurance. But, the Citizen. We really get in trouble if we don't have our license or we don't have insurance. And boy, do we pay if we get in an accident with one. Why is that?

MEX GANG LAND of LOS ANGELES - Great For Ilegals! NOT SO GREAT FOR LEGALS!

For illegals but not for citizens (Some random thoughts)

"We (citizens) really get in trouble if we don't have our license or we don't have insurance. And boy, do we pay if we get in an accident. Why is that?"
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There's no simple answer, except that illegals are considered "the new Americans." As such, they are being integrated into our country at our expense.

I could fill this page with what has happened in LA -- and the United States -- in the past few years. And none of it is good.

A pro-illegal LA mayor was placed into office. He's only doing what he was elected to do: Provide a sanctuary to illegals. Most elected LA officials, in fact, are pro-illegal.

Illegals, once here, provide sanctuary to more illegals. A strong Hispanic lobby, locally and nationally, will soon give rise to a Hispanic (pro-illegal) President.

There seems to be this mass hysteria of providing sanctuary to tens of millions of illegals. Soon it will be hundreds of millions. In the meantime, American citizens are supposed to pay the bill. But how?

Sometimes I think that Barack Obama intentionally placed this country into serious debt, so he can make a case for incorporating Mexico and Canada into a North American Union. You've heard of our global economy. That is nothing new. But now that has evolved into a political and social agenda of global "oneness."

In the meantime, the lowly and downtrodden are cut a break while citizens are held to higher standards.

To answer your question, here's what you do: Demand fair treatment under the law. Illegals have no license and insurance? Then you don't need them, either. Then contact the ACLU and demand legal representation. If enough people do this it might hit home that our laws must be enforced equally.

AN AMERICAN SEES AND SPEAKS - Whittier Under Mexican Occupation

I grew up in the Norwalk La Mirada area in the 60's and 70's. Our closest mountains and river type recreation was just a few miles north on hwy 39 in the San Gabriel canyon. It was a great place for a family to make a day trip or even to camp. Fishing, hiking, bike riding etc. It was pristine, you could hardly find any trash on the ground, the river and streams were picture perfect.
In the 80's and early 90's when I was raising my family, we went there often and I started noticing more and more people (Mexicans) using the place it was beginning to get overcrowded. I moved to Oregon in the mid 90's.

I recently visited my sister in Whittier she is getting into bicycle riding, I happened to have my bike with me so I suggested that we load them in the van and go to San Gabriel canyon and do the 7 miles each way, Cogswell Dam ride.

Do you remember the TV commercial where the American Indian (I think his name is Iron Eyes Cody) saw a polluted river and had tears running down his face?

That could have been me!!! The place was a toilet, trash a foot deep, fast food wrappers, dirty diapers, empty soda and beer cans everywhere. It stunk, of urine and feces. There was graffiti on the rocks! There were thousands of mexicans everywhere you looked. Some were swimming in their under ware. Thanks a lot you fucking sub humans.....

We have to do something to stop this invasion of illegals! It seems that our leaders could care less. By doing nothing, there are only encouraging it. In other countries if you sneak across the border, you get shot, In the USA you get food stamps, and free medical care.

WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES PUSH FOR LA RAZA AMNESTY

NEXT ON THE AGENDA OF THE HISPANDERING BANKSTERS’ PRESIDENT: AMNESTY!
Just as Obama sold us out to the banksters that had generously bankrolled his staged performance of the production of “CHANGE” into the White House, and then DRUGSTERS, it’s now time to sell us out to the ILLEGALS! Even when Obama was servicing the DRUGSTERS and BIG INSURANCE MONOPOLIES, as he did banksters, he LIED to us that his healthcare plan that would benefit 30 million uninsured “Americans” would NOT include ILLEGALS! These 30 million uninsured “Americans” are overwhelmingly ILLEGALS! WE ARE MEXICO’S WELFARE SYSTEM!
If OBAMA is not servicing banksters, Wall Street corporate rapist, drugsters, you can bet the WHITE HOUSE, he’s hispandering to the illegals. THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH BILLIONS PAID OUT IN SOCIAL SERVICES OR PRISON COSTS FOR ILLEGALS TO STOP THE MEXICAN INVASION AND OCCUPATION!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH MEXICAN GANGS, NOW CALCULATED TO BE ABOUT 800,000 AROUND THE COUNTRY, TO END MEXICAN OCCUPATION!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH RACIST MEXICAN FLAG WAVERS TO RETHINK IF WE WANT THESE PEOPLE HERE TO PILLAGE!!!

BASIC FOR THE LA RAZA DEM PARTY: CORPORATE PROFITS CAN NEVER BE HIGH ENOUGH! WAGES CAN NEVER BE LOW ENOUGH! THERE CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH ILLEGALS POURING OVER OUR BORDERS!

Obama, the clown that talked about “transparency” but has demonstrated that he likes to work in backrooms, particularly corporate boardrooms when selling us out. He has already held many mini-conventions in the WHITE HOUSE for LA RAZA – “The Race”, THE MEXICAN FASCIST POLITICAL PARTY FOR MEX SUPREMACY. These “meetings” did not include the press!!! LA RAZA, you will be disgusted to know, is funded by your tax dollars, NARCOMEX, and the generous contributions of much of the FORTUNE 500, which benefits mightily from the depression of wages. THE MEXICAN INVASION AND OCCUPATION OF 38 MILLION ILLEGALS IS SAID TO DEPRESS WAGES FOR LEGALS FROM $300 TO $400 BILLION PER YEAR! THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE OBAMA AND HIS LA RAZA DEMS’ SELLOUT!
Currently on the LA RAZA DEMS' agenda, in coordination with LA RAZA FASCIST, is the plan to sabotage the 2010 census by NOT COUNTING ILLEGALS! It has long been the government’s propaganda that there are 12 million Mexican flag wavers in this country. They’ve used this bogus number year after year after year, even has illegals have continued to pour over our borders, into our jobs, pregnant and into our emergency hospital, jails, prisons AND VOTING BOOTHS. Yes, it may be “illegal” for ILLEGALS TO TO VOTE, but that doesn’t stop them anymore than any other crime they’re prone to (IT IS ILLEGAL TO EMPLOY ILLEGALS, AND YET 47% OF THOSE WITH A JOB IN MEX OCCUPIED LOS ANGELES ARE ILLEGALS USING STOLEN SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS)! You’ve heard endlessly of the “Latino vote”? Already in Mexican occupied Orange County CA, Reps. Linda and Loretta Sanchez (sisters) won their seats with the votes of illegals. Both members of Congress are La Raza dems pushing for HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGALS, NO I.C.E. ENFORCEMENT, NO FEDERAL FUNDING OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FIGHTING MEXICAN CRIME WAVES, EXPANSION OF MEXICAN WELFARE (ILLEGALS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY COLLECT $50 MILLION IN WELFARE PER MONTH!) AMNESTY, AND EASY NO-STRINGS CITIZENSHIP, which frequently is “GETTING A DRIVER’S LICENSE”. You wondered why La Raza Hillary Clinton wanted quick drivers’ licenses when she was a senator?
OBAMA is a WALL STREET OWNED POLITICIANS. The very corporate criminals that destroyed $500 TRILLION in home values in this nation demand depressed wages and OBAMA will serve! He doesn’t give a fuck about Americans any more that Bush. He doesn’t give a fuck about Black Americans, even though it is these that have been most harmed by the Mexican invasion! The Christian Science Monitor characterizes Los Angeles as “Mexican gang capital of America”, here African-Americans are randomly murdered in cold blood by Mexican gang’s intent on “ethnic cleansing” of the occupied territories. Where’s the outrage? You won’t find it from the La Raza dems or their OBAMA! Los Angeles has 500- 1,000 Mexican gang related murders YEARLY. More than the entire European Union. These Mex murders cost taxpayers nearly one million each to prosecute. Where’s the outrage? Gov of CA says he wants more fed money to pay for the cost of keeping illegals in prison, which costs the state a billion dollars a year! Obama says NO! and then works behind the scenes to sabotage laws that would curb Mexican violence. Anything to hispander for the illegals’ votes! In California alone there have been more than 2,000 Americans murdered by Mexican illegals that fled back over the border ton NARCOmex to avoid prosecution. Where’s the outrage? Do we really want to hand these people the Obama La Raza Amnesty?
CALIFORNIA has long been in meltdown due to the Mexican occupation, and corporate rape and pillage by banksters, utility monopolies, and the corruption of La Raza Sen. FEINSTEIN, BOXER, and PELOSI.
Bush war profiteer, and Obama donor, Dianne Feinstein has long pushed for OPEN BORDERS, NO I.C.E. ENFORCEMENT, NO E-VERIFY, NO ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS PROHIBITING THE ILLEGAL EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGALS, and NO I. D. FOR ILLEGALS TO VOTE, AND NO ENGLISH ONLY, AS MEXICAN LOATHE THE GRINGO’S LANGUAGE!
Feinstein, one of the most corrupt politicians in American history as other agendas than serving the people of California., although she can truthfully lay claim to having served La Raza donors WELLS FARGO and BANK of AMERICA. Feinstein has taken huge bribes from these bankster criminals, voted for any and all NO-STRINGS BAILOUTS NO (REAL) REGULATION. Both of these banks have long profited from the exploitation of illegals, including handing them illegal mortgages, most of which are now being paid by the taxpayers. It is illegal for illegals to open bank accounts without I.D., and yet these banks do it daily! There’s mucho Mexican drug cartel money, and about $50 billion of our economy wired back to NARCOmex!
Both Feinstein and Boxer have taken huge bribes from special interests BIG AG BIZ, which as one creed! WE DON’T PAY LIVING WAGES TO NO LEGALS! Therefore, Feinstein and Boxer have, behind closed doors as usual, gone behind our backs for their “SPECIAL FEINSTEIN AMNESTY” for 1.5 million illegals “farm workers”. Even though unemployment is soaring, and about one-third of illegal farm workers are in WELFARE! No stats on how many end up in the swelling ranks of Mexican gangs!
La Raza Nancy Pelosi has long hired ILLEGALS at her $20 million St. Helena, Napa winery and restaurants. Dianne Feinstein has long hired illegals at her S.F. hotel. Pelosi has vowed no (real) wall will ever be built, and even while the La Raza dems work new angles for their old scam of amnesty sellouts, illegals continue to pour over our borders daily! It works exactly as they’ve planned since the “amnesty” of 1986 did nothing to stop the invasion! Pelosi has lied, just as did Obama, on national television that the OBAMA HEALTHCARE did not include illegals (see MEXICANOCCUPATION.blogspot.com). It does!
In La Raza Harry Reid’s state of Nevada, property values have plummeted 50% and remain in descent. Reid’s state is now 25% ILLEGALS! Reid’s paymasters, BIG GAMBLING follow one creed: WE DO NOT HIRE LEGALS FOR LIVING WAGES! Nevada also has SOARING welfare for illegals, and it was HARRY REID that put $5 million of your tax dollars into the hands of LA RAZA MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY FOR MEXICAN SUPREMACY!!! There is nothing these politicians will not do to sell us out to keep their paymasters happy!

White House prepares for immigration overhaul battle
The Obama administration is rallying allies to push for a package with better border security and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants now in the U.S. The effort is sure to be a tough sell.
By Peter Nicholas and Tom Hamburger
December 30, 2009
Reporting from Washington
With the healthcare battle still unfinished, the Obama administration has been laying plans to take up an issue that could prove even more divisive -- a major overhaul of the nation's immigration system.

Senior White House aides privately have assured Latino activists that the president will back legislation next year to provide a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.

In a recent conference call with proponents, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina, political director Patrick Gaspard and others delivered the message that the White House was committed to seeing a substantial immigration bill pass and wanted to make sure allies were prepared for the fight.

In addition to the citizenship provision, the emerging plan will emphasize efforts to secure U.S. borders against those trying to cross illegally. But that two-track approach was rejected repeatedly in the past by Republicans and other critics who insist that a border crackdown must demonstrate its effectiveness before any action on citizenship is considered.

Whatever proposal Obama puts forward will probably meet equally determined opposition. Another complication is the calendar: Midterm elections are in November, and polls show that the public is more worried about joblessness and the fragile economy than anything else.

So embracing an immigration bill is a gamble for the White House, which already has a packed agenda for 2010: economic recovery, global warming legislation and tougher regulation of financial institutions.

No matter what the environment, immigration is a tough sell, said Democratic pollster Geoff Garin.

"We know from a lot of experience that immigration reform has been and can be a very polarizing issue. There are heated differences about whether there ought to be some kind of pathway to citizenship for people who entered the country illegally," he said.

"And my sense from the public-opinion research is people care more about vindicating their position than they do about getting the issue solved."

Even so, the White House apparently has decided to press ahead.

In an effort to enlist the kind of business support that helped drive its healthcare initiative, for example, administration officials have reached out to the National Restaurant Assn., which represents an industry that employs thousands of immigrants. Earlier this year, the new head of the association, Dawn Sweeney, met with Cecilia Muñoz, a White House aide involved in the issue, and expressed interest in cooperating.

"It's an extremely important issue for our members," said Sweeney, whose group could exert grass-roots pressure on lawmakers.

As a candidate, Obama vowed to take up immigration during his first year in office. That deadline will come and go. Further delay could anger Latino voters, who came out in force for the president and congressional Democrats in 2008.

No one anticipates that a core element of the Democratic base will defect to the Republican Party in November. But even a significant drop in turnout -- which often happens in nonpresidential elections -- could frustrate Democratic efforts to preserve their congressional majority.

"The bulk of the people needing immigration reform are Latino," said Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.). "There's a level of disenchantment about where we're going. . . . And if you don't give the Latino community a reason to participate [in the elections], you weaken your base even more."

For an immigration bill to have a realistic shot of passing next year, political analysts said, the particulars would have to be agreed upon by the spring. A delay would increase the likelihood of the issue getting derailed by the November elections.

Henry G. Cisneros, a Cabinet secretary in the Clinton administration who took part in the recent immigration conference call with the Obama White House, said: "It gets much more difficult as the year goes along. So everyone has to be very sober about the prospects. But the president and congressional leadership understand it's important to start the ball rolling."

An immigration bill was introduced in the House earlier in the month, and Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), who chairs a subcommittee on immigration, is heading the effort to cobble together a bipartisan coalition in the Senate.

But Democrats may not have a lock on one prominent Republican who has worked in the past to revamp the immigration system: Arizona Sen. John McCain.

McCain backed President George W. Bush's failed attempt to overhaul immigration in his second term. But he has not committed to supporting the Obama bill, saying he worried the president would not endorse a temporary guest-worker program.

Organized labor, an important part of the Democratic base, has voiced opposition to a guest-worker program under which more immigrants could enter the country on a temporary basis. Critics argue that there is no effective system for ensuring that such workers will leave the country when their permits expire.

"From everything that we hear right now, the temporary guest-worker program won't be addressed in immigration reform. And unless that is an essential part of the reform program, it's something that Sen. McCain can't work on," said Brooke Buchanan, a spokeswoman for the Arizona lawmaker.

The White House would not reveal its position on the guest-worker issue.

Should an immigration bill gain traction, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel would probably be a central player in the negotiations.

As an aide to President Clinton, Emanuel co-wrote a memo on the political dynamics of immigration. He and Ron Klain, now the top aide to Vice President Joe Biden, wrote in 1994: "We must be seen as taking proper, forceful steps to seriously address the immigration problem without alienating the Hispanic and civil rights constituencies.

"Our goal is not to outdo the Republicans, rather to use our achievements and proposals to prevent them from using this as a wedge issue against us."

The former head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Doris Meissner, recalled that Emanuel once phoned and berated her over a news story about lax border enforcement in Arizona.

"This kind of press is killing us," Meissner quoted Emanuel as saying. During the call, he instructed her to send border agents to the area immediately. "He had no authority whatsoever to give me orders," Meissner said.

But Emanuel was constantly pressing his colleagues in the Clinton White House to push what he termed a "balanced" immigration policy -- including enforcement and stepped-up grants of citizenship.

Obama soft on illegals enforcement

Arrests of illegal immigrant workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.

The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.

MEXICO UNDER SIEGE
In Mexico's drug battle, the public is missing in action
Faced with drug-cartel violence and signs of vigilantism against the gangs, ordinary people would argue that it doesn't pay to get involved.
By Tracy Wilkinson and Ken Ellingwood

December 30, 2009

Reporting from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico -- The mayor had good news: A notorious thug from one of the drug cartels had been found killed. Hector "El Negro" Saldana would no longer menace the people of San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico.

Trouble was, Saldana's body hadn't yet been discovered when Mayor Mauricio Fernandez made the announcement with a flourish at his swearing-in ceremony in October.

How did Fernandez know about Saldana's demise hours before investigators found the body stuffed in a car hundreds of miles away in Mexico City?

Without explicitly admitting that he had ordered the killing, Fernandez eventually acknowledged forming "intelligence squads" to "cleanse" his jurisdiction of undesirables such as "El Negro," who by all accounts kidnapped and extorted with impunity and flaunted his untouchable status by driving around in a yellow Lamborghini.

The top judicial official in the region praised Fernandez's crime-busting initiative as "fabulous." Days passed before any senior government figure criticized the mayor.

The hit on "El Negro" raised a nightmarish prospect for the nation: Had the government's war on the cartels brought Mexico to the point where vigilantism was sanctioned? And were ordinary Mexicans somehow complicit?

"We've all paid off a cop, bribed our way to a degree, been afraid to denounce the pusher at the taxi stand," said Marcos Fastlicht, a prominent Mexico City businessman who is trying to rally citizens into collective action against crime.

"We are all born into this environment and we have not been strong, or courageous, enough. We've all helped this country fall apart."

But many Mexicans would argue that it doesn't pay to get involved. Governments have long discouraged or even punished those who speak out. Given that legions of police officers and politicians have been bought off by the drug capos, it's safer to stay on the sidelines.

And a lot of people benefit from narcotics trafficking. The cartels "have offered work and opportunities and a sense of identity that we as society were not able to offer them," Luis Cardenas Palomino, head of an intelligence branch of the federal police, said at a recent conference on citizen participation.

"They have offered them something that is the most serious of all: the chance for a social payback."

Last year, when a 14-year-old boy from an affluent family in Mexico City was killed and crammed into a car trunk after his parents paid a ransom, an aggrieved public staged protest marches in many cities. But since then, there has been little sustained public action against organized crime.

In this drug offensive launched three years ago by President Felipe Calderon, more than 15,000 people have been killed. But that is not the only measure of the damage, or of the difficulty Calderon faces. The Mexican people have been reluctant allies in the struggle, key institutions of society have been silent or ineffectual, and democratic values that had been struggling to take root, such as independence of the press and the rule of law, have been eroded.

Dripping with money, some of it even legal, San Pedro Garza Garcia is the kind of place where residents put a high premium on safety and can demand it.

Fernandez, the mayor, says he is meeting those demands. He says he was forced to create "intelligence units" because of public anger and the ineffectiveness of authorities.

By acknowledging the use of vigilantes, Fernandez uttered aloud what had swirled as whispers in many parts of the country. From blood-soaked border states such as Chihuahua to drug-producing centers such as Sinaloa to the capital, Mexico City, a number of mysterious killings point to the settling of scores or removal of undesirables.

San Pedro, a suburb of Monterrey, Mexico's industrial capital, boasts multinational corporate headquarters, Ferrari dealerships, pristine streets and parks, the top luxury hotels. At one typically orderly intersection rises a copy of Michelangelo's David larger than the original.

In an interview in a City Hall office decorated with paintings by Mexico's top contemporary artists, Fernandez dismissed comparisons of the intelligence units to death squads or Colombia-style paramilitaries, saying his units are "more like detectives," albeit answerable only to him. He refused to provide any details as to who serves on the squads or how they operate.

"The important thing to know is that here in San Pedro we will do whatever it takes," he said. "We are not willing to accept organized crime."

Fernandez, scion of one of his city's oldest families, said he enjoyed broad support and would pay for his special units with donations from rich businessmen, like himself.

And he said he was talking to Israeli firms about purchasing top-of-the line surveillance and security equipment.

"The important thing is to have the information," he said. "How did we come by the information? Doesn't matter to me. . . . Just bring me the information."

He said that those who worried that the squads would run amok could relax because they would be under his control.

"It is not within the law, but it's not against the law either," he said.

Consuelo Morales, a nun who stands not quite 5 feet tall, was one of the people condemning Fernandez. No one wanted to hear her.

Not unusual, she says.

"Citizens are sick and tired of corruption and impunity and tempted to take justice into their own hands," she said. "But if we permit citizens to form groups to settle scores, because the authorities don't function at any level, then you create a monster."

As head of a human rights organization, Morales for years has been trying to shine light on the misdeeds of officials, police and others, with little success.

On her laptop computer, the nun stores videos of vicious beatings of suspects in jails. In one, a young man sinks to the floor yelping and writhing in pain as uniformed police officers pummel him with a long, flat board.

The video was aired on television. The reaction? Zilch, Morales said. "If this doesn't mobilize people, then I hate to say we are paralyzed."

In Catholic countries torn by strife, the church has often served as a catalyst for change. But in Mexico, the Roman Catholic Church has failed in that mission, top clerics say.

Much like the broader society, the church is caught between fear and complicity, between the impulse to take a stand and the desire to avoid conflict.

"The church has been content to follow its same rhythm of always, when it should be revving its engines," said Hector Gonzalez Martinez, archbishop of the tense, rough state of Durango.

Gonzalez made a splash this year when he said that Mexico's top fugitive drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, was living in a Durango mountain village and that "everyone knows" it, including authorities who had failed to capture him.

Four days later, two army officers were found slain in the area the cleric had singled out, with a sign attached to their bodies: "Neither officials nor priests will ever be able to handle El Chapo."

This year, a priest and two seminary students were killed in the state of Guerrero, presumably by traffickers; in Durango, a region where gunmen "own the night" in village after village, "every priest has been threatened," Gonzalez says.

Gonzalez continued to visit remote parishes up and down the Sierra Madre foothills that march through western and northern Durango.

Until August.

A village mayor ran to the visiting Gonzalez to report that gunmen in several SUVs were gathering nearby. Then Gonzalez's cellphone rang. A state official in the Durango capital said U.S. drug agents had learned of a plot to kill the archbishop.

The official dispatched a helicopter to whisk him to safety.

Gonzalez now travels with bodyguards and is awaiting delivery of an armored car.

He laments that Mexican society lacks a sense of solidarity when it comes to facing drug violence.

"Every time there's another murder, another headless corpse, another kidnapped person, the immediate family members are very concerned, but it doesn't move society as a whole," said Gonzalez, 70, who moves and speaks with grave deliberateness, as if he had a great weight on his shoulders.

"We have too rapidly become accustomed to having these evils in the middle of our society."

In some parts of the country, priests have used money from traffickers to pay for church repairs, special chapels or other community projects. One senior priest was quoted a few years ago praising the drug lords' propensity to tithe.

"They make us accomplices," said an outspoken bishop, Raul Vera of Saltillo. "A steeple built with drug money has blood gushing from its rafters."

Nuevo Laredo was once the most violent city in the country. It is an exhaust-choked trucking hub on the border across from Laredo, Texas, where four years ago spectacular gunfights between rival drug gangs left residents afraid to leave their homes. A police chief was assassinated hours after taking the oath of office.

The shootouts have largely ebbed, replaced by a calm that most residents attribute to a pact between the warring groups that left the city under the control of the Zetas, the armed wing of the Gulf cartel that often operates on its own.

But the quiet in Nuevo Laredo is thick with fear and a feeling of helplessness.

The Zetas have proved to be ruthless overlords. They have kidnapped businessmen, demanded protection money from merchants, taken over sales of pirated CDs and DVDs and muscled into the liquor trade by forcing restaurant and bar owners to buy from them.

"Imagine this is 1920s Chicago and Al Capone is the boss," said one longtime resident, who like others in town voiced his belief that the gang is protected by local law enforcement.

Jittery residents hesitate to say "Zeta" in public. A joke making the rounds has it that the gang, whose name is the Spanish for "Z," left Nuevo Laredo with one less letter in the alphabet.

Many residents say they don't trust the authorities enough to report crime or suspicious activity. Threats and attacks have cowed journalists into slanting their reports.

In October, local news outlets received ominous calls from a purported representative of the group after a rolling shootout that involved Mexican soldiers, according to a newspaper editor who declined to be named out of concern for his safety.

The gist of the message: Make the army look bad.

The news media obliged, reporting that soldiers had ignited the shootout, in which an elementary school filled with children was sprayed with gunfire.

"Soldiers Provoke the Clash," read one headline. The accompanying article said troops had fired in an "indiscriminate" manner.

"Everyone published stories criticizing the army . . . because of pressure," the editor said.

"It wasn't necessarily false. It was manipulated, inaccurate, because of what the bad guys wanted known."

Residents mobilized briefly during the carnage of 2005. Civic leaders held meetings and issued a decal bearing the image of a white dove and a plea for "Peace in Both Laredos." Many residents stuck them on their cars.

Activists planned a peace march from the international border to a statue of 19th century Mexican President Benito Juarez two miles away. A few days before the march, gunmen opened fire in front of City Hall, where a group was protesting the arrest of police officers who were suspected of having criminal links. A man was killed.

Organizers called off the peace march.

"We considered the consequences," said Carlos Martinez, who runs a secondary school called Nuevo Laredo City College. "It was the last serious effort by people to take action."

Some residents call the atmosphere in Nuevo Laredo a calma chicha -- a fishy quiet.

Martinez said the drug trade will never end, so the best border residents can hope for is not to be bothered by the traffickers.

"We don't care what deals they make," Martinez said. "What we want in the city is peace. At least leave us alone."

"Shooting, raping, stealing, breaking into people's houses, robbing stores. . . . I just don't like living in a neighborhood like this," says Tyler Moore, 11. "It feels scary." Prichard, Ala., is so impoverished that it shocks even two former gang members who come from L.A.'s toughest streets.

Immigration teams arrest more criminal offenders IMMIGRATION TEAMS ARREST MORE CRIMINAL OFFENDERS

Associated Press November 4, 2009
By AMY TAXIN Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES--Immigration agents assigned to track down people who have ignored deportation orders have increasingly arrested immigrants with criminal records during the past year, new data show.
Data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement show a shift from the prior three years, when more than 70 percent of immigrants arrested by fugitive operations teams had no criminal histories.
About 45 percent of the 35,000 immigrants arrested by the teams during the 2009 fiscal year had criminal convictions. The figure is up from 23 percent during the prior year.
ICE has long claimed it focused on arresting immigrants with criminal convictions who ignored orders from immigration judges to leave the country.
But most people arrested had no criminal histories, which prompted outcries from immigrant rights groups.
ICE director John Morton said earlier this year the agency would focus on finding immigrants with criminal records or who have ignored deportation orders. However, he said other illegal immigrants would be arrested if they were present during the operations,
"The goal is to prevent crime rather than simply to respond to it," ICE spokesman Brandon Alvarez-Montgomery said.
One reason for the change is that agents are working more closely with local law enforcement to develop leads, ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.
Immigrants rights advocates were skeptical of the numbers and wondered whether the data marked a real change in a program they have long criticized as a source of fear in immigrant neighborhoods.
It's unclear whether the Obama administration has shifted the program's focus or whether agents in some regions have just been more successful at finding criminals, said Carl Bergquist, a policy advocate for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
"I think the jury is still out," added Paromita Shah, associate director of the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild.
Earlier this year, Morton also announced the fugitive teams would end the use of arrest quotas.
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, said agents should have discretion about who they arrest, given what he considers the daunting task of finding more than 500,000 immigrants who have evaded deportation orders.
"They've got to start somewhere, and they look for people obviously that have national security issues as well as serious criminals," said Krikorian, whose organization favors stricter limits on immigration.
"As long as they're not sending the message that other illegal aliens will simply be let go, then I don't have a problem with it." he said.

Government Data Imply High Immigrant Crime Rates; Findings Contradict Older Research Showing Low Rates

PRNewswire November 19, 2009
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Center for Immigration Studies has published a detailed report on immigration and crime based on a variety of recently released data, including some obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. The newer government data implies that immigrants have relatively high rates of crime. This contradicts older academic research that generally found low rates of crime. The overall picture of immigrants and crime remains confused due to conflicting information and a lack of good data.
The report, "Immigration and Crime: Assessing a Conflicted Issue," by Steven Camarota and Jessica Vaughan, is online at http:// cis.org/ImmigrantCrime
Among the findings:
-- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimates that immigrants
(legal and illegal) comprise 20 percent of inmates in prisons and jails.
The foreign-born are 15.4 percent of the nation's adult population.
However, DHS has not provided a detailed explanation of how the
estimates were generated.
-- Under contract to DHS in 2004, Fentress, Inc. reviewed 8.1 million
inmate records from state prison systems and 45 large county jails. They
found that 22 percent of inmates were foreign-born. But the report did
not cover all of the nation's jails.
-- The 287(g) program and related efforts have found high rates of
illegal-alien incarceration in some communities. But it is unclear if
the communities are representative of the country:
-- Maricopa County, Ariz.: 22 percent of felons are illegal aliens;
-- Lake County, Ill.: 19 percent of jail inmates are illegal aliens;
-- Collier County, Fla.: 20 to 22 percent of jail inmates and arrestees
are illegal aliens;
-- Weld County, Colo.: 12.8 to 15.2 percent of those jailed are illegal
aliens.
-- DHS states that it has identified 221,000 non-citizens in the nation's
jails. This equals 11 to 15 percent of the jail population. Non- citizens
are 8.6 percent of the nation's total adult population.
-- The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that 26.4 percent of inmates in
federal prisons are non-citizens. However, federal prisons are not
representative of prisons generally or local jails.
-- Recent reports by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) and
Immigration Policy Center (IPC) showing low rates of immigrant
incarceration highlight the data problems in many studies. The 2000
Census data they used are not reliable.
-- An analysis of the data used in the PPIC and IPC studies by the National
Research Council found that 53 percent of the time the Census Bureau had
to make an educated guess whether a prisoner was an immigrant. The
studies are essentially measuring these guesses, not actual immigrant
incarceration.
-- The poor quality of data used in the PPIC and IPC studies is illustrated
by wild and implausible swings. It shows a 28 percent decline in
incarcerated immigrants 1990 to 2000 -- yet the overall immigrant
population grew 59 percent. Newer Census data from 2007 show a 146
percent increase in immigrant incarceration 2000 to 2007 -- yet, the
overall immigrant population grew only 22 percent.
-- The "Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities"
shows that 8.1 percent of prisoners in state prisons are immigrants
(legal and illegal). However, the survey excludes jails and relies on
inmate self-identification, which is likely to understate the number of
immigrants.
-- In 2009, 57 percent of the 76 fugitive murderers most wanted by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were foreign-born. It is likely
however that because immigrants can more readily flee to other
countries, they comprise a disproportionate share of fugitives.
-- Most studies comparing crime rates and immigration levels across cities
show no clear correlation between the immigrant share of a city's
population and its level of crime. This is one of the strongest
arguments that immigrants do not have high crime rates. However, such
studies generally measure only overall crime, not crimes specifically
committed by immigrants. Also, a 2009 analysis by DHS' Office of
Immigration Statistics found that crime rates were higher in
metropolitan areas that received large numbers of legal immigrants.
-- From 1998 to 2007, 816,000 criminal aliens were removed from the United
States because of a criminal charge or conviction. This is equal to
about one-fifth of the nation's total jail and prison population. These
figures do not include those removed for the lesser offense of living or
working in the country illegally. The removal and deportation of large
numbers of criminal aliens may reduce immigrant incarceration rates
because many will not return and re-offend, as is the case with many
native-born criminals.
-- Some have argued that the fall in overall national crime rates since the
early 1990s is evidence that immigration actually reduces crime.
However, overall crime rates are affected by many factors. Moreover, the
1970s and 1980s saw crime rates rise along with immigration levels.
-- Overall incarceration rates are also a poor means of examining the link
between immigration and crime. Since the 1970s, the share of the U.S.
population that is incarcerated has grown almost exactly in proportion
to the share of the population that is immigrant. But unless inmates can
be identified as immigrant or native-born this information sheds little
light on the issue of immigrant criminality.
The Center for Immigration Studies is an independent research institution that examines the impact of immigration on the United States.

L.A. gang member on Top 10 most wanted list captured
A suspect in a Hollywood shooting is arrested in Guatemala. The city crackdown on gangs yields 200 arrests.
By Patrick McGreevy and Richard Winton
Times Staff Writers

March 1, 2007

An 18th Street gang member on Los Angeles' Top 10 most wanted list of gangsters has been captured in Guatemala, authorities said Wednesday, the same day they announced that a recent crackdown on gangs has yielded more than 200 arrests in the San Fernando Valley and South L.A.

Angel Zevallos, an 18th Street Westside member known as "Spanky," was captured last Wednesday and deported by Guatemalan authorities to Texas, Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton said.

Zevallos, who has waived extradition in Texas, was set to be returned to Los Angeles today to face an attempted murder charge in connection with the Feb. 6, 2006, shooting and wounding of a security guard at the Buddha Bar in Hollywood.

"The capture of Angel Zevallos was truly a team effort," Bratton said. "It was impressive to see how quickly this all came together. Interpol inspectors, deputy U.S. marshals in the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala and LAPD detectives worked as if they were across the room, rather than across a continent."

Zevallos was on the list of most wanted gang fugitives announced last month by Los Angeles officials, who also named the 11 worst gangs as part of a law enforcement campaign to reduce gang violence, which increased 15.7% citywide last year.

Bratton on Wednesday said the effort so far was "going very well."

"Ultimately we are looking for two things," he said. "We are looking to reduce membership and we want to reduce violence by those 11 gangs. That's where we think there are indicators of success. Homicides are down. Shootings are down."

So far this year, city homicides were down from last year's 69 to 50 as of Tuesday.

Zevallos was captured after Chief Inspector Wilfredo Ramos, Interpol director in Guatemala, was tipped to his presence during an unrelated kidnapping investigation. The tipster described a tattooed man in Guatemala City who was bragging about a killing in Los Angeles.

The informant, Bratton said, supplied Zevallos' name and two photographs taken with a cellphone. Interpol confirmed that Zevallos, a Peruvian national, had been in Guatemala illegally since December 2006 and then contacted the LAPD. He was apprehended with the help of U.S. marshals based at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City.

Word of Zevallos' capture came as City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo on Wednesday announced a nuisance abatement action against the Baldwin Village apartment complex where one of the worst gangs, the Black P-Stones, had been staying.

"This will rid the Baldwin Village community of a hangout for Black P-Stones," said Delgadillo, who last month took a similar action against an Avenues gang hangout.

Bratton in recent weeks has redeployed more than 200 officers to the gang crackdown. The most obvious effect so far has been in the San Fernando Valley, where hundreds of arrests and stops have been made by a special gang task force of 50 officers who go into high-crime areas, including parts of Van Nuys and North Hollywood.

In the 13 days since the task force began operations, officers have made 259 pedestrian stops and 306 motorist stops as well as 143 misdemeanor arrests and 66 felony arrests for infractions such as narcotics sales and gun possession, Lt. John McMahon, who is in charge of the task force, said Wednesday. Officers also issued 149 traffic citations and seized six guns, he said.

The task force, McMahon said, "has given us the opportunity to take a group of officers who don't have a bunch of ancillary responsibilities, and have them focus on violent high-crime areas."

Bratton targeted the Valley because the greatest increase in Los Angeles gang-related crime occurred there last year, up 42% from the year before.

Another area with an increased police presence is Harbor Gateway, where one of the 11 targeted gangs — the 204th Street gang — operates. Members of the predominantly Latino gang are accused of killing a 14-year-old African American girl in a hate crime.

Deputy Chief Charles Beck said that at least 20 members of the gang have been arrested on suspicion of committing felonies in the last two weeks. Five of those were arrested on suspicion of killing one of their own out of fear that he was helping police.

Bratton said the effort to target the worst of the worst gang members, such as Zevallos, will require international coordination with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service.

"A lot of these people, we believe, are out of this country, and those not wanted for murder we have the ability to get back" because they won't face the death penalty, Bratton said.

Extraditing suspects who face death penalties from Central and South American countries as well as from Mexico is often difficult because those governments oppose capital punishment.

With Zevallos behind bars, Bratton on Wednesday replaced him on the most wanted list with Fernando Araujo, a 19-year-old alleged Canoga Park Alabama gang member who is wanted in connection with the Aug. 26, 2006, shooting of a college football player outside a youth center.

Bratton said the motive for the drive-by shooting was believed to be racial because witnesses said they heard racial slurs as shots were fired at the African American victim. Araujo also is implicated in a second drive-by shooting and is a material witness in another shooting, police said.

AMERICAN LEGEND on OBAMA'S SELLOUT TO ILLEGALS

OBAMA HAS PROMISED WALL ST, AFTER BANKSTERS NO-STRINGS BAILOUTS AND NO (REAL) REGULATION, AND THE DRUGSTERS THE SAME, IT’S TIME FOR AMNESTY!
BUYING THE ILLEGALS’ VOTES. OBAMA KNOWS HE’S PUNKED US SO BAD NO LEGAL WOULD VOTE FOR HIM!

The American Legion Takes A Stand Against Illegal Immigration
________________________________________
The American Legion Takes A Stand Against Illegal Immigration

The America Legion recently released a statement on ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, a very pointed statement. The Legion published their policy in a 30 page booklet, spelling their policy out in detail:
The nation’s largest veterans organization released this week a policy bulletin that takes a firm stand against illegal immigration and calls on its members to hold elected officials accountable for implementing and enforcing U.S. immigration law.

The 30-page bulletin is officially titled, “The American Legion20Policy on Immigration: A Strategy to Address Illegal Immigration in the United States.”
It is about time that a group who stands up for veterans of all services, whether they served in peacetime or wartime took a tough stand on a problem that is overwhelming this country. We have roughly 25 million veterans in this country who served honorably to protect the legal residents of this country, not the people who invade our borders nearly unchecked.
More from WND on the American Legion:
“The American Legion members have served in the U.S. Armed Forces throughout the world so that Americans can be safe at home,” the organization’s website explains. “This gives them a unique perspective to the threat that open borders present to their homeland.”
“America is a nation built by immigrants and the American Legion recognizes and celebrates that,” said National Commander David K. Rehbein in a press release. “We do take strong issue, however, with illegal immigration. It’s a matter of national security. The 9/11 hijackers and three of the men who plotted to kill innocent Americans at Ft. Dix were perfect examples of terrorists exploiting our weak immigration laws and our lack of enforcement. This booklet is a good reminder that America has a serious problem that needs to be addressed.”
The Legion’s stance on illegal immigration is clearly stated o n page 1 of the booklet, it stands alone:
“The American Legion is opposed to any person or persons being in this country illegally, regardless of race, sex, creed, color or national origin,” the bulletin states. “We believe the current laws governing immigration should be enforced impartially and equally.”
The America Legion has a long history that dates back to Theodore Roosevelt. The Legion knows something about supporting veterans and the laws of this country. Read on:
Originally founded in 1919 on an idea proposed by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (the president of the same name’s eldest son), the Legion has now grown to a membership of more than 2.6 million wartime veterans organized in more than 14,000 posts nationwide.
The policy bulletin explains, “Legionnaires subscribe to a creed, ‘To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order and to foster and perpetuate a 100 percent Americanism.’ These words are recited in unison at Legion meetings and represent a continuing contract of service to benefit America and it is this commitment by Legionnaires that is the fuel for action on illegal immigration and other national security concerns facing this country.”
The Legion hopes the policy booklet will educate the American public on how “the security, economy and social fabric of the United States of America is=2 0seriously threatened by individuals who are illegally in this country.”
“Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime,” the booklet states. “The poor, minorities, children and individuals with little education are particularly vulnerable. It causes an enormous drain on public services, depresses wages of American workers, and contributes to population growth that, in turn, contributes to school overcrowding and housing shortages. Directly and indirectly, U.S. taxpayers are paying for illegal immigration.”
In financial terms, the booklet cites a report by the Center for Immigration Studies that claims the average illegal alien household in 2003 paid approximately $4,200 in federal taxes while, on average, created $7,000 in costs at the federal level.
The booklet does highlight a real problem that the USA faces despite the formation of the Department of Homeland Security. It spells out that it is about educating all people on the dearth of security issues still face this country today. Not only did they publish this booklet for education purposes but it also contains language that discusses ways to prevent these security issues:
In response to what it sees as a contributing factor to crime, terrorism, unemployment and depressed wages, the Legion proposes the following five-point strategy urging the federal government to enact the following steps:
1. Secure the borders and other points of entry in the United States, including construction of a physical barrier and sufficient Border Patrol presence.
2. Eliminate the jobs magnet and social services benefits that draw illegal immigrants to the U.S. by enforcing laws sanctioning employers who hire illegal aliens, implementing employment eligibility verification and eliminating government benefits for illegal aliens.
3. Eliminate amnesty laws that permit illegal aliens to break the law and remain in the U.S.
4. Reduce the U.S. illegal alien population by attrition through workplace enforcement, interagency and interstate cooperation, rejection of driver’s license plans, mandating English as national language and establishing parameters for noncriminal deportations.
5. Screen and track foreign visitors legally entering the United States. The plan further calls for reforms to current legal immigration policy, including alteration of the non-immigrant visa program that allows some nations’ citizens entrance to the U.S. without a visa application, elimination of the visa lottery that randomly approves visas from countries with low immigration rates and expanding visa allowances for seasonal and temporary workers.
The five step program is a good program. It is workable with some change in legislation and enforcement of current laws. It becomes more important when one considers the following report from WND:
Costs for securing the nati on’s borders are expected to increase 20.6 percent in fiscal year 2009. These include expenses for border patrol, electronic surveillance, the border fence and other security needs. President Bush allocated $44.3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security – a 4.5 percent increase from last year’s budget of $42.4 billion.
“While the U.S. builds a fence across much of the border, many illegals are taking a different route. Underground,” Rubenstein reveals. “Authorities have discovered dozens of illegal tunnels across the international border in recent years. Smuggling of drugs, weapons, and immigrants takes place daily through these underground passageways.”
Illegal aliens also use drainage systems to travel across the U.S.-Mexico border – from El Paso to San Diego.
“One tunnel, actually a system of two half-mile passages connecting Tijuana with San Diego, is by comparison a superhighway,” he wrote.
While the Border Patrol attempts to stop these underground incursions with steel doors, cameras and sensors, harsh weather conditions and human smugglers destroy the equipment and barriers.
These costs, and the expenses of providing “enhanced driver’s licenses” as alternative passports for citizens, RFID chips, government databases and watch lists are expected to soar.
In his research, Rubenstein finds that the average immigrant household generates a fiscal debt of $3,408 after feder al benefits and taxes are considered. At the state and local level, the fiscal debt amounts to $4.398 per immigrant household.
“There are currently about 36 million immigrants living in about 9 million households, so the aggregate deficit attributable to immigrants comes to $70.3 billion,” he writes. “… Immigrants could deplete the amount of funds available for infrastructure by as much as $70 billion per year.”
Rubenstein cites figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, projecting that the U.S. population will reach 433 million by 2050 – increasing 44 percent, or 135 million, from today’s numbers.
A full 82 percent of this increase will be directly attributable to new immigrants and their U.S.-born children.
“The brutal reality is that no conceivable infrastructure program can keep pace with that kind of population growth,” he wrote. “The traditional ’supply-side’ response to America’s infrastructure shortage – build, build, build – is dead, dead, dead. Demand reduction is the only viable way to close the gap between the supply and demand of public infrastructure.”
He concludes, “Immigration reduction must play a role.”
The five step program that the Legion proposes is a sound one. It will require the federal government to tighten immigration policies. The policies don’t appear to require bigger government. It does require ou r Democratic-led government to take a tough stand on illegal immigration, one I believe they will never take. Since our government at this point in time will never toughen the laws, this booklet will go largely ignored by our representatives in DC and that is the shame.
The American Legion wants to remind of us the facts surrounding 9/11 and the plot to kill Fort Dix soldiers, nothing more, nothing less. It is time for Congress to listen to the more than 2 million veterans who claim membership in this organization. It is time to secure our borders, it is time that the American people realize our security is at risk as long as our borders are not secure

FBI DIRECTOR:
"The violent MS-13 - or Mara Salvatrucha - street gang is following the migratory routes of illegal aliens across the country, FBI officials say, calling the Salvadoran gang the new American mafia. MS-13, has a significant presence in the Washington area, and other gangs are spreading into small towns and suburbs by following illegal aliens seeking work in places such as Providence, R.I., and the Carolinas, FBI task force director Robert Clifford said. "The migrant moves and the gang follows," said Mr. Clifford, director of the agency's MS-13 National Gang Task Force."

Obama soft on illegals enforcement

Arrests of illegal immigrant workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.

The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.
