CALIFORNIA - Mexican GangLand!

THERE IS NOT A COMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA NOT INFESTED WITH MEXICAN GANGS!

The gangs have been linked to many crimes, but authorities say their main business is moving drugs and weapons from Southern to Northern California.

The killing was the 31st in the last 15 months in Salinas, population 145,000, a city the size of Pasadena with eight times as many violent deaths, every one of them gang-related.

Salinas has 3,500 gang members — six times the national average — and a four-decade history of gang violence.

Aggressive crackdown targets long-entrenched Salinas gangs
The slaying of Azahel Cruz, 6 — the 31st gang-related killing in 15 months — outraged the community, and authorities have stepped up suppression efforts.

Reporting from Salinas, Calif.


The grass in Pocket Park is trimmed and fragrant, the jungle gym and swings freshly painted. It's the kind of place where parents exhausted after a day in the lettuce fields can let their children run free.

But when dusk settled on that urban sanctuary one evening in March, the only people around were a few tattooed gang members wearing the signature blue of the Sureños. A car full of young men wearing the red colors of the rival Norteños drove past on East Laurel Drive, and a passenger fired a single shot.

The bullet whistled by its intended targets, squeezed through a thumb-width opening in a tall wood fence, sailed under a laundry line and rocketed through the open back door of the Cruz family's home.

Azahel Cruz, 6, dressed early for bed in his Spiderman pajamas, had just finished eating an ice cream bar in the living room, where he'd been decorating Easter eggs with his mother and sisters. The kindergartener walked into the kitchen to drop the stick in the wastebasket outside the back door.

His mother, Maria Alcantar, found him on the floor.

"Blood was coming out of his head," she recalled. "He was trying to move and I said, 'Don't move. Don't move.' Every time he moved, there was more blood."

The killing was the 31st in the last 15 months in Salinas, population 145,000, a city the size of Pasadena with eight times as many violent deaths, every one of them gang-related.

Salinas has 3,500 gang members — six times the national average — and a four-decade history of gang violence.

"The gangster element has become so embedded and well-organized that it's just been operating with impunity," said Louis Fetherolf, 64, who became police chief last year. "An aquifer of organized criminality runs under this city, moving tons of narcotics. And I'm concerned that the scope and depth of that is lost on the public."

Azahel's death came in the midst of one of the most aggressive gang crackdowns in Salinas history.

It began with the arrival of Fetherolf, a fluent Spanish speaker with broad experience in law enforcement that included stints with the Los Angeles Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Fetherolf called a summit of law enforcement officials in Salinas, and this year police launched a local version of Operation Ceasefire, a program first used in Boston in the 1990s.

Gang members are called in for daylong, tough-love sessions at police headquarters. They are told to give up the gang or face the fierce attention of the authorities — and are offered job counseling, tattoo removal and other social services.

In addition, counter-insurgency experts at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey have been analyzing gang-related crime in Salinas and will suggest ways to disrupt the violence and address its causes.

"We're not gang experts," said Hy Rothstein, an NPS professor and retired Army colonel who spent three decades in the Special Forces. "But we know a lot about irregular warfare, and these gangs have a lot of similarities with terrorist groups. They are clandestine, nested within the population and engaged in violence."

Since the late 1960s, Latino gangs have been a fact of life in Salinas, an agricultural center half an hour's drive from the mansions, golf courses and tourist haunts of the Monterey Peninsula.

In recent years, Salinas and smaller cities in the fertile, windswept valley captured so memorably in John Steinbeck's "East of Eden" have become a battleground for two storied Latino gangs — the Norteños, a coalition of Northern California gangs, and the Sureños, originally from Southern California.

The gangs have been linked to many crimes, but authorities say their main business is moving drugs and weapons from Southern to Northern California.

"It's very disciplined," Fetherolf said. "You don't see people walking around stoned out of their heads. Youngsters who do start using are the ones who become expendable. Those are most of the homicides we see."

In April, federal, state and local agents swept through Monterey County to arrest dozens of gang members, in Salinas and elsewhere, as part of Operation Knockout.

"We're hitting them and hitting them hard," Fetherolf said, noting that gang-related violence in the city has subsided in the last few months. "But we're a mid-sized city in the middle of open-country California, and we've been sick a long time."

The killing of the little boy certainly got people's attention. Several thousand people marched at a church rally and hundreds — white and Latino, rich and poor — donated money to the family.

"He just looked like a little angel in that casket," said Dennis Donohue, the Salinas mayor who still keeps a ribbon pinned to his lapel in Azahel's memory.

"Sometimes, I wonder if there is a God," added Brian Contreras, who runs Second Chance, a community-based counseling service for former gang members and at-risk youth. "I hope this community is finally saying, 'enough.'"

At the forefront of the gang suppression effort is the Monterey County Gang Task Force, a unit of 17 officers from local police departments, the county sheriff's office, the California Highway Patrol and the state Department of Corrections.

Officers in the 5-year-old unit wear matching black uniforms and drive marked black patrol cars. Gang members refer to the unit as the "black snake," for the way its vehicles slither silently through gang neighborhoods.

The task force spends about half its time patrolling smaller cities, where police departments have been fighting a sharp increase in gang activity. About 1,500 gang members live in the county outside Salinas, in towns such as Soledad, King City and Castroville. King City, population 12,000, has recorded three gang-related homicides this year.

The unit's primary mission is to disrupt the gangs by making thousands of traffic stops and random searches of the homes of gangsters free on parole or probation.

"We realize we're never going to be able to arrest our way out of this problem," said Bob Eggers, the unit's commander.. "And sometimes we feel like we're just digging in the sand. But every gangster we pull off the street is a success."

On a recent chilly night in Salinas, a dozen members of the task force approached a two-story house on McAllister Street.

Their target was Charles Mejia, a Norteño in the second year of a three-year probation. Under a full moon, officers surrounded the house and knocked on the door. Once inside, they handcuffed Mejia and placed him on a sofa in the living room. Five officers examined his cellphone and searched his room.

In the living room, Mejia's mother chatted nervously with Eggers as Mejia and his father sat glumly on the sofa.

In Mejia's bathroom, officers found a line of white powder on the counter. A field test indicated it was cocaine — a violation of his probation and a felony. The officers led Mejia from his home, still in handcuffs.

"The parents seemed so nice," Eggers said. "I was hoping it wouldn't end that way."

Later that night, the convoy descended on Galindo Street, just a few blocks from where Azahel Cruz was killed, and stopped in front of a ranch-style house at the end of a cul de sac.

As officers surrounded the house, one yelled: "Back yard!" Several officers chased a man through the dark yard as he tried to jettison bags containing methamphetamine, counterfeit prescription forms and cash. Guillermo Barajas, 26, who had Sureños tattoos and was on parole for burglary, was wrestled to the ground.

Inside the two-bedroom home, officers found 18 occupants, including four children. Leftover food rotted in pans scattered around the house. In the garage, half a dozen people were living in rooms partitioned with hanging bedsheets.

The target of the raid, a prison escapee, wasn't home. But Barajas was arrested for drug possession with intent to sell, and five other residents with outstanding warrants were taken into custody. Task force members considered the night a success, but they had no illusions.

"We send someone to prison and he'll always be replaced by somebody else," said Sgt. Richard Rodriguez Jr. "Then he comes out and, guess what? He's back, doing the same old stuff."

While the county aggressively prosecutes gang members, it constantly battles the reluctance of witnesses to come forward. The large population of migrant workers, many of whom are undocumented, is especially difficult to persuade.

In many ways, Azahel Cruz's family was typical of that silent majority in East Salinas, a densely populated Latino neighborhood that is home to migrant laborers and the gangs who prey on them. His father, Jose, works for $9 an hour in the lettuce fields, and his mother boxes lettuce for $10 an hour.

Last November, an exchange of gunfire between gang members pelted the Cruz family's chocolate-colored home and punctured two tires on their car. Even before that, parents had been warning their children not to play in Pocket Park if they saw gang members.

"I've never felt safe here," Maria said. But the Cruzes couldn't afford a deposit on a new place.

Sitting in their living room, the couple paged through a memory book that Azahel's kindergarten teacher had compiled. They pointed proudly to his "student of the month" citation from December.

"I told him that if he got another award that I'd buy him a bicycle," Jose Cruz recalled. "But he said, 'No, Dad. The teacher says we have to give the opportunity to the other kids.'"

Azahel's killer has not yet been identified. The Cruz family keeps the boy's ashes in a polished mahogany box that bears his name. It sits on a shelf in the room he shared with his sisters, next to the remote-controlled Spiderman robot he got for Christmas last year

A framed photo of Azahel occupies a prominent place in the living room. Decked out in a smart checked shirt and blue jeans, he smiles brightly.

Jose Cruz keeps the last photo of his son, though, on his cellphone. It shows Azahel, in an open casket, on the day of his funeral.

Mexico's deadly drug violence claims hundreds of lives in past 5 days
By William Booth

Washington Post Foreign Service

Wednesday, June 16, 2010; A01
MEXICO CITY -- An explosion of drug violence in Mexico has killed hundreds of people in the past five days and prompted the country's president to issue a 5,000-word manifesto warning that the fight against organized crime must continue "or we will always live in fear."
As the latest spasm of killing has spread across the country, cartel assassins, local thugs and federal troops have died in running gun battles, highway ambushes and prison melees. On Tuesday, shooting broke out in the popular tourist town of Taxco, south of the Mexican capital. Mexican army troops, acting on a tip, raided a house and a firefight ensued, leaving 14 gunmen dead.
The string of grisly attacks since Thursday has included the execution-style killing of 19 drug addicts in a rehabilitation clinic and several assaults targeting police, including an ambush this week that killed 12 federal officers.
In an editorial printed in newspapers nationwide Monday, President Felipe Calderón defended his drug war as vital to the country's security. More than 23,000 people have died in drug-related violence since December 2006, when Calderón first sent the Mexican military into the streets, according to a government report.
The president directly blamed the United States.
"The origin of our violence problem begins with the fact that Mexico is located next to the country that has the highest levels of drug consumption in the world," Calderón wrote. "It is as if our neighbor were the biggest drug addict in the world."
The cartels, he said, have grown rich and bold -- fed with billions of dollars from the United States. Experts estimate that $10 billion to $25 billion in drug profits flow to Mexico each year from the north. About 90 percent of the cocaine consumed in the United States passes through Mexico, which also smuggles at least half of the marijuana and methamphetamine sold in U.S. cities. Meanwhile, many of the weapons the cartels use, including grenades and military-style assault rifles, are smuggled into Mexico from the United States.
Calderón told his country that Mexico would be in a much worse state if his administration had not taken on the criminal gangs. It is a battle that is supported by the Obama administration and Congress, which has dedicated $1.3 billion in aid to train police, reform the courts, and supply drug-sniffing dogs, armored cars, night-vision goggles and Black Hawk military helicopters.
Several hundred Mexicans have been killed in confrontations in the past week in some of the worst violence since the U.S.-backed drug war began.
The Mexican newspapers that keep running tallies of drug-related violence reported last week that a record was set when 85 people died in a 24-hour period, topping the previous record from November 2008, when 58 were killed over a similar period.
But the pace of killing quickened. On Monday, El Universal newspaper reported that 96 people in seven states died, and another record was set.
The attacks began Thursday when two dozen gunmen stormed into the Faith and Life drug rehabilitation center in the northern state of Chihuahua, forced the patients onto the floor or against the wall and killed 19 of them. The dead ranged in age from 16 to 63.
One of the teenagers managed to make a cellphone call to his home, shouting: -- "Mommy, they've come to kill us!"
Violence against addicts at rehab centers, where patients are often low-level workers in the drug trade, is increasingly common in Mexico.
Calderón later issued a statement from Johannesburg, where he was attending the opening of the World Cup, decrying "the barbaric acts."
On Monday, gunmen killed 15 federal police officers in separate attacks in two states known for heavy narcotics trafficking. In the mountainous state of Michoacan, west of Mexico City, mafia assassins used burning buses to block a major highway and ambush a convoy of police returning to the capital, killing 12 officers and wounding at least eight others.
Also Monday, 29 prisoners from rival gangs attacked one another with pistols, an assault rifle and knives in the Mazatlan jail in the western state of Sinaloa, home to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. The billionaire cartel boss, whom Forbes magazine has named one of the richest men in Mexico, is among the most wanted fugitives there and in the United States.
Prison officials said that 18 inmates were killed in initial assaults and that 11 others died of stab wounds and beatings when fighting spread to other cell blocks.
In Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, seven or eight people are killed in drug-related violence every day, often garnering only a few paragraphs in the local newspapers. Almost 1,200 people have died in Juarez this year.

ILLEGALS AS GATE CRASHERS... The Looting Is Good In Gringo Land!

To All Illegal Aliens-Where's Your Ticket?
Where's Your Ticket?

If you had tickets to a sports event, concert, Disneyland, or for an airline
flight, and when you got to your assigned seat you found someone else was in
that seat, what would you do? You would call for a person in charge of
ticket checking and have the person in your seat removed. You would properly
be asked to show your ticket, and you would gladly and proudly do so, for
you have bought and paid for that seat. The person in your seat would also
be asked for a ticket, which they would not be able to produce. They would
be called "gate crashers" and they would properly be removed.

Now in this huge stadium called the USA we have had millions of gate
crashers. We have been asking security to check for tickets and remove the
gate crashers. We have been asking security to have better controls in
checking at the door. We have asked security to lock the back doors.
Security has failed us. They are still looking the other way. They are
afraid to ask to see the tickets. Many people say there is unlimited
seating, but whether there is or not, no one should be allowed in for free
while the rest of us pay full price!

In "section AZ", of "Stadium USA", we have had enough of the failures of
Security. We have decided to do our own ticket checking, and properly remove
those who do not have tickets. Now it seems very strange to me that so many
people in the other 49 "sections", and even many in our own "section" do not
want tickets checked, or even to be asked to show their ticket! Even the
head of Security is chastising us, while not doing his own job which he has
sworn to do.

My own ticket has been bought and paid for, so I am proudly going to show
it when asked to do so. I have a right to my seat, and I want the gate
crashers to be asked to show their tickets too. The only reason that I can
imagine anyone objecting to being asked for their ticket is that they are in
favor of gate crashing, and all of the illegal activities that go with it,
such as drug smuggling, gang wars, murder, human smuggling for profit, and
many more illegal and inhumane acts that we are trying to prevent with our
new legislation. Is that what I am hearing from all of the protestors such
as Phoenix Mayor Gordon, US Rep. Grijalva, even President Obama? If you are
not in favor of showing tickets, (proof of citizenship, passport, green
card, or other legal document) when asked, as I would do proudly, then you must be condoning
those illegal activities.

Written by a US Citizen, Globe, Arizona.

This makes perfect sense to me. What do you think?


Remember: there are OVER 40 MILLION illegal Aliens that have snuck into the country, way too many have falsified ID (stolen social security numbers, and personal info) and there are enough of them on food stamps, in government housing, free school lunches, and medical care to cost the American Taxpayer $300BILLION a year. Remember, if you give them AMNESTY then you get to continue feeding them, paying their shelter, paying their medical costs, and paying free school lunches for the kids...and then they have kids and you get to support them too.

We cannot afford to grant AMNESTY to them...we are boorowing money from CHINA right now to pay our bills....so, we are borrowing money from China to support illegal aliens.....hummmm. By the way, the Bush Tax Cuts expire the end of this year, your taxes are going up...do you really want to continue supporting over 40million illegal aliens?

They SNUCK into the USA.......they have falsified ID...they live off your tax dollars.......they have children..........you pay for the children as well.

Get It?

Now, if you want to work, send your pay checks to some families in Mexico, Iraq, China...wherever...go for it...........but, stop demanding everyone have to do this......some of us have bills to pay, children to feed, children to send to school, elderly parents to take care of...............I don't want to support any one other than my family.....and I'm having a hard time doing that.

NO to Amnesty.
Every state needs to get and enforce their own Immigration law.
Illegals need to be deported. Yes, costs $ to deport them but, cheaper than supporting them and heir kids for YEARS and YEARS and YEARS!

Close the border...........reinforce the border with more troops and Border guards...........deport the illegals..........no amnesty.

Call your states representatives from the mayor/city councilman to Senators, Governors and Congress...and don't forget to contact the hite House.

OKLAHOMA SAYS NO TO MEX INVASION & OCCUPATION! Will Obama Assault Them Like Arizona?

AZ you are not alone

GOD bless Oklahoma !!!

Oklahoma law passed 37 to 9, an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330

Guess what? Oklahoma did it anyway.


Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. Hope we didn't send any of them to your state.
This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.

Guess what? Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently, OK passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database for criminal investigative purposes.


Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. SB 1102

Guess what? Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, OK passed a law declaringOklahoma a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles.

I'm sure that was a set back for the criminals (and Obamaites). Liberals didn't like it -- But ...


Guess what? Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, OK voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. We have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of our road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.

By the way, Obama does not like any of this.

Guess what? Who cares? Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

WASHINGTON – While the military "quagmire" in Iraq was said to tip the scales of power in the U.S. midterm elections, most Americans have no idea more of their fellow citizens – men, women and children – were murdered this year by illegal aliens than the combined death toll of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan since those military campaigns began.

Though no federal statistics are kept on murders or any other crimes committed by illegal aliens, a number of groups have produced estimates based on data collected from prisons, news reports and independent research.

Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That's 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.

Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863. Total U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289, according to the Department of Defense.



But the carnage wrought by illegal alien murderers represents only a fraction of the pool of blood spilled by American citizens as a result of an open border and un-enforced immigration laws.

While King reports 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers – for another annual death toll of 4,745. That's 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001.

While no one – in or out of government – tracks all U.S. accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year's 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.

A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers.

Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.

King also reports eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually.

Based on a one-year in-depth study, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute of Atlanta estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999 through April 2006 that included serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants.

As the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. increases, so does the number of American victims.

According to Edwin Rubenstien, president of ESR Research Economic Consultants, in Indianapolis in 1980, federal and state correctional facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens. But at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in all U.S. jails and prisons.

While the federal government doesn't track illegal alien murders, illegal alien rapes or illegal alien drunk driving deaths, it has studied illegal aliens incarcerated in U.S. prisons.

In April 2005, the Government Accountability Office released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:

* The 55,322 illegal aliens studied represented a total of 459,614 arrests – some eight arrests per illegal alien;

* Their arrests represented a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses – some 13 offenses per illegal alien;

* 36 percent had been arrested at least five times before.
