"Gang members do not heed borders," he said. "Gang members move here but do not cut their ties."
And now Mexican gangs have spread all over the state and country. In the San Jose bay area there recently was a gang bitch that repeatedly knifed a fellow schoolmate. In neighboring Saratoga, cops found a large Mexican drug farm. The below is in nearby Mountain View.
If you thought the staggering Mexican crime wave was only in Los Angeles, you’re wrong. In Los Angeles Mexican gangs are murdering African-Americans to “ethnically cleanse” their drug markets.
NANCY PELOSI, who hires illegals for her winery, has vowed AMNESTY and NO WALL. She is joined by FEINSTEIN, BOXER both working to get illegals registered to vote and for LA RAZA amnesty.

Mountain View Police Officer Katherine Comesana spoke about the... (MARIA J. AVILA /
Mountain View police officer Katherine Comesana held up a picture of a drug-damaged brain to a classroom of 33 seventh-graders.
"This is a picture of a brain on meth," she said. "My sister was a meth addict."
It was the last day of a two-week gang-prevention program at Mountain View High School, and Comesana's startling personal preamble certainly grabbed the attention of the restless middle-schoolers.
The other adults in the room - officer Ronald Cooper, youth counselor Nicole Gwire - nodded approvingly as Comesana described the ills and dangers of drug use.
The officers have something else to celebrate: the city's first Youth Services Unit, a permanent part of the Mountain View Police Department dedicated, in police parlance, to "gang prevention and suppression."
Comesana is assigned full time to the new unit and she will visit high schools year-round, conducting similar gang-prevention programs.
Worried by the recent spate of assaults between rival gangs, the Mountain View City Council approved the new unit in May. Unlike previous anti-gang efforts, it will be a permanent part of the police department, with partial state funding.
"We need to work at this consistently," Vice Mayor Margaret Abe-Koga said. "Now it will be concentrated and continuous."
In the past, gang "prevention and suppression" was a kind of seasonal work. "It ebbed and flowed," said Sgt. Michael Ecdao, the city's first anti-gang officer, appointed in 1995, and recently named to lead the new unit.
When gang-related violence rose, the city upped the ante. Eight officers spent part of their time going on high-profile patrols, visiting gang members and their families.
Police and youth outreach workers have known for some time that prevention programs like "Dreams and Futures" at Mountain View High work. Gangs are recruiting younger and younger members, so programs for those as young as fourth grade will be an important part of the new unit's work, police and city officials said.
"Creating a permanent unit on this work says the city cares," said Cooper. "These are the kids we might end up dealing with on the streets five or six years from now."
On a recent Wednesday morning at the high school's football field, Cooper and Comesana played a vigorous soccer game with the boys. The girls were nearby, gathered in a circle "girl talking" with Gwire, a counselor with the local non-profit social services agency, Community Health Awareness Council, or CHAC.
For Gwire, the new partnership between CHAC and the police department is the best change yet in outreach to youth. Counseling is now paired up with police work.
"It's a wonderful change," said Monique Kane, executive director of CHAC. "It gives us a lot of positive feeling of hope."
Sharing her personal story about an addicted sister, Comesana said, "helps kids see us as having life experiences like theirs."
"That's when they break down their walls and learn to share things," she said. "They can open up. They can reach their goals and dreams."
Fourteen-year-old Nicky Gutierrez, who will be an eighth-grader at Crittenden Middle School, has attended "Dreams and Futures" for the past four summers.
"It's pretty cool," he said, still huffing from the soccer game. "I've learned about respecting others and not to get involved in gangs and drugs. And I've made friends here."

80% of meth smuggled into the US comes from MEX (well, at least we export stolen cars to MEX...... unfortunately they’re our cars stolen from us!)
U.S. policy on immigration is a tragic joke

U.S. crackdown sends meth labs south of border

Mexico inherits a problem that was long California's.

By Richard MarosiTimes Staff Writer

November 26, 2006GUADALAJARA — The methamphetamine laboratories that once plagued California's hinterlands and powered a national explosion of drug abuse have been replaced by an increasing supply from Mexico, U.S. law enforcement officials say.Methamphetamine production has surged south of the border, from Baja California ranches to the highlands of Michoacan to the industrial parks here in Mexico's second largest city, where authorities in January busted the largest laboratory ever discovered in the Americas. The fortress-like compound ringed by high brick walls housed 11 custom-designed pressure cookers that could produce 400 pounds of the drug per day. It dwarfed anything ever found in California, where the standard cooking tool is a 23-quart beaker and a 20-pound batch is considered a good production day."It was the mother lode of mother lodes," a U.S. law enforcement official said. The boom in Mexican methamphetamine production stems from successful efforts in the U.S. to control the sale of chemicals used to produce the drug, including the cold medicine pseudoephedrine. Drug traffickers, some of them ex-convicts and fugitives from the United States, including a former chemistry professor from Idaho arrested last month, authorities say, have resettled in Mexico because of the easy access to pseudoephedrine and other chemicals. The largest share of the chemicals is believed to be shipped to Mexico from factories in China and India and routed through Hong Kong. China has emerged as the top concern for U.S. authorities. Like traffic in heroin and cocaine, the methamphetamine economy has become a global phenomenon. So too is the battle to control what most U.S. law enforcement authorities consider the country's greatest drug threat. 'A new ice age'" The cliche is coming true: We've entered a new ice age," said Misha Piastro, an agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration who has worked on the U.S.-Mexico border, referring to the smokable form of the drug called ice.The trend began surfacing about two years ago as a crackdown on the bulk distribution of ingredients cut off producers from supplies in the U.S. and, later, Canada.The rural fringes of California metropolitan areas, including the Inland Empire, which once were centers of methamphetamine production, remain important distribution hubs. But the number of "superlab" discoveries in California has dropped from 125 in 2003 to 12 through mid-October this year, according to the DEA. Nationwide, the numbers have dropped from 130 to 19 during the same period. Superlabs are operations that can produce more than 10 pounds of methamphetamine per cooking cycle. Authorities now estimate that 80% of the methamphetamine on U.S. streets is controlled by Mexican drug traffickers, with most of the supply smuggled in from Mexico. Methamphetamine seizures at the U.S.-Mexico border jumped 50% from 2003 through 2005, from 4,030 to 6,063 pounds. Mapping the methamphetamine production network is difficult in a country of remote ranchlands and under-patrolled metropolitan areas. Few law enforcement authorities are trained to recognize the signs of a drug lab, including the fumes and pollutants that pose significant environmental hazards. Nonetheless, the number of labs discovered by Mexican authorities nearly tripled from 2002 to 2005, from 13 to 37, and methamphetamine seizures more than doubled, to 2,169 pounds, during the same period. U.S. authorities believe the numbers are a fraction of actual activity, as signs of an extensive production infrastructure have surfaced in the last year or so. Among those signs: Mexico's importation of cold medicines jumped suddenly in recent years, from 92,000 tons in 2002 to 150,000 tons in 2005. Though recently imposed restrictions have cut legal imports by about half this year, U.S. authorities believe significant amounts are still being smuggled through corruption-ridden Mexican ports. Last December, Mexican authorities at the Pacific Coast port of Manzanillo found 5.1 million pseudoephedrine tablets hidden in a cargo of ceiling fans from China. The cache would have been enough to produce about 3 tons of finished product, authorities said. Last November, China toughened its reporting and licensing requirements for those manufacturing, shipping, trading and exporting bulk chemicals such as pseudoephedrine, a step welcomed by international drug enforcement officials. But Beijing did not impose limits or reporting requirements on end users. Smugglers are still free to buy millions of cold tablets, hide these in Chinese export products and ship them to Mexico or other destinations, as seen with the ceiling-fan discovery. China also faces problems similar to those in Mexico — budget constraints, corruption, turf battles and inadequate detection and monitoring equipment. Public health problem. In Mexico, meanwhile, drug lab discoveries have spanned the country. In Mexicali, several labs have erupted in flames. In Michoacan, authorities have discovered large production operations and believe lab activity is rife in the state's rural areas. Producers also have flooded the Mexican domestic market with the drug, creating an epidemic of methamphetamine addiction and drug-related crime in many cities."It's a grave public health problem of enormous dimensions," said Victor Clark Alfaro, a border expert and director of the Binational Center for Human Rights in Tijuana. Guadalajara, capital of the western state of Jalisco, has emerged as a production hub for methamphetamine, authorities say. Lab activity is easily camouflaged in the metropolitan area of 4 million people, which encompasses isolated ranchlands, industrial areas and densely packed urban neighborhoods where exhaust and sewer smells mask the fumes of superlabs. The ease of operating in Guadalajara was vividly illustrated in October, officials say, when authorities acting on an anonymous tip arrested Frederick Wells, a former Idaho State University professor who was allegedly running a superlab in his pink stucco home half a mile from the U.S. Consulate. Wells, 57, who fled the United States in 1998 after being charged with operating a drug lab in his university office, had only to walk down the street to purchase industrial chemicals at a storefront business in Guadalajara. Authorities say Wells told them that neighbors in the quiet area of neat homes never noticed the smells during the nearly two years he operated the lab. The enormous lab discovered in January was in a gritty area of chemical plants, small ranches and cornfields outside the city."We smelled things but didn't know what it was. There are lots of factories around here; you never know what you smell," said Armando Murillo, who lives behind the former lab on a small ranch where he raises goats and sheep. Murillo's property was transformed into a campground for about 150 soldiers who guarded the lab for weeks. The suspects, a trio of chemists and former classmates at the University of Guadalajara, left behind more than 1,000 pounds of powdered methamphetamine in three barrels, and enough precursor chemicals to produce another 1,000 pounds, authorities said. After the arrest of one suspect, authorities found four more super-labs they said were tied to the group. Another suspect is believed to have been killed by a local paramilitary-style gang, which is charged with burying alive five men at a ranch, one of them an ex-convict from Riverside County who had moved to Jalisco to get into the methamphetamine trade, a U.S. law enforcement source said.Two other ex-convicts — one from Riverside County, the other from Phoenix — were arrested in August on suspicion of operating a lab at a ranch where Mexican authorities discovered 220 pounds of methamphetamine. The migration south of fugitives and ex-convicts worries authorities who say it coincides with the release from U.S. prisons of many drug traffickers who have finished serving sentences dating from the early era of the methamphetamine trade. Scarce resourcesWith narcotics-related violence flaring across the country, experts say Mexico is ill-prepared to open another front against methamphetamine production. The DEA has donated equipment and begun to teach their Mexican counterparts how to find drug labs, but resources for a wide-ranging enforcement effort are scarce. Authorities in Guadalajara, for instance, delayed dismantling the lab in January because the nearest lab truck, filled with protective suits and equipment to safely dispose of chemicals, was five hours away, in Mexico City."The problem is too new," said Marcos Pablo Moloeznick Gruer, a political science professor at the University of Guadalajara. He said Mexican law enforcement was not "aware or concerned enough" about the rise in methamphetamine production.

There is a common front in our illegal-alien crisis, the war on drugs and the global war on terror. That front line is easily defined as our nation's borders, airports and seaports. And Arizonans know only too well the pain and problems of living and working on the front line of our border with Mexico. South of that border is a corrupt and ineffective government run by President Vicente Fox, who has no apparent incentive to control the flow of drugs being shipped from Mexico into the United States and every incentive to continue the exportation of illegal aliens into this country. This year, in fact, remittances back to Mexico from the estimated 20 million Mexican citizens living in the United States, most of them illegally, surpassed oil as Mexico's No. 1 source of foreign revenue.

SOME FIGURES FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO START PAYING ON NOW
Subject: From the L.A. Times Newspaper 1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. Los Angeles County reports 2 billion dollars in the underground economy is lost. 2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. There have been 2000 Californians murdered by illegals who then fled back to Mexico to avoid prosecution. 3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. 4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers. 5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. (Currently they’re letting out felons early due to the jail overcrowding. Many immediately commit crimes.) Los Angeles County spends millions in jail cost for illegals still actively drug trafficking. To solve this problem, the county dispersed the Mexican drug dealers to jails over the states. This only propagated the drug dealers operations. The County spends millions in fighting Mexican gangs which have spread all over the United States. The County also spends millions on graffiti abatement. 6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. 7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. It’s assumed the vast majority of the other half are Mexicans living here legally. 8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. 9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking. They united Mexicans in protest demanding “rights” they presume to be entitled to. (They seem to have one program. Convince the Mexican invaders this country actually belongs to the Mexicans. ) 10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L. A. County). ( How many Mexicans do you know that have contempt for the English language?) Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare. (Los Angeles County spends $750,000 on social services to illegals. No wonder there isn’t enough money for education.) Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.
