When Biden took office, one of his first acts was the elimination of our border security. Like a power-hungry dictator, Biden simply decided to ignore our immigration laws. His catastrophic border policy resulted in untold millions of unidentified foreign citizens from around the world pouring into our country. Its impact is now being felt in cities across the country. The worst is yet to come. PETER LEMISKA - AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE!!!

SHERIFF PHIL PLUMMER'S WAR AGAINST OPOID ADDICTION - MEXICAN HEROIN TAKES OVER AMERICA'S OPEN BORDERS
Fentanyl is being produced clandestinely in Mexico and also comes directly from China, according to the DEA. And Mexican heroin accounted for 79 percent of the total weight of heroin analyzed by the DEA in 2014.

DAYTON, Ohio—The sheriff of Montgomery County is fighting an uphill battle. He has been fighting it for four years, but it has only gotten worse. His county has the unfortunate burden of being the worst in the nation for opioid overdose deaths, per capita.
His deputies are spending more than half their time responding to overdose calls. One dose of the opioid-blocker Narcan often isn’t enough to revive a patient anymore, and when it does work, he said, 35 percent of the time the addict stands up, walks away, and does it again the next day.
“That’s the frustrating part,” Sheriff Phil Plummer, 52, said in his Dayton office on Aug. 3.
“In our county, we are averaging 10 overdoses a day. Last night, we had 17,” he said. “It fluctuates when we see different product coming in, or a different gang mixing the product. When they put too much fentanyl in it, we have a large amount of overdoses that day.
“Envision this: You’ve got gangs selling this stuff on the streets; the cartel brings it here, and they filter it out to our gangs, on our streets and in our neighborhoods. So they are sitting at the kitchen table stuffing these gelcaps with whatever they want to put in them,” said Plummer.

Seven years ago, there were 127 unintentional drug overdose deaths in Montgomery County. This year, the numbers are on track to hit 800, more than double the number last year.
The synthetic opioids fentanyl and carfentanil are to blame for the spike. Starting in late 2013, several states reported surges in fentanyl overdoses. Between 2013 and 2014, there was a 79 percent increase in deaths related to synthetic opioids, according to the 2016 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) heroin report.

Now it’s hard to find heroin on the streets in the county—fentanyl is the new high. It was originally developed as a painkiller and an anesthetic, and is 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin. Two milligrams of fentanyl is a lethal dose for a non-opioid user.
Carfentanil is less common but way more deadly; it is used as an elephant tranquilizer and is 10,000 times more powerful than morphine, according to the DEA. Even a few specks of airborne powder can be fatal.
“Now they don’t want heroin anymore, now they want fentanyl, and so they’re climbing the ladder as to how potent the product is,” Plummer said. “A drug dealer gives somebody a dose of fentanyl or carfentanil, and they overdose and die, then all the addicts seek out that drug dealer because they want the next strongest product. It is a very bizarre addiction.”

Illicitly produced fentanyl is sold alone or in combination with heroin and other substances. It has also been identified in counterfeit pills, mimicking pharmaceutical drugs such as oxycodone, according to the DEA. In 2015, the agency issued a nationwide alert on fentanyl, designating it a threat to health and public safety.
But it is still prescription painkillers, such as OxyContin and Vicodin, that are getting most people hooked in the first place. An estimated 2 million Americans are addicted to prescription painkillers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eighty percent of heroin users initiated their substance abuse with prescription drugs—most often by obtaining pills through a friend or family member.
Approximately 52 people in the United States die every day from overdosing on prescription painkillers, according to the CDC.
Plummer said he saw the arc from prescription pills to illicit synthetic opioids happen over several years.

“We didn’t know we had a pill problem. We then shut down some pill mills—where people could go see a doctor with no patient care and just walk out with a prescription they wanted for only $50 cash,” he said.
“We didn’t know, with shutting those down, that we had that many addicts, and so of course they morph to heroin.”
He called it a “perfect storm.”
“The Mexican cartels then realize we are shutting the mills down, so they flood us with heroin. The heroin is really cheap; it’s only $6 for a gelcap,” Plummer said.
“There is still a mixture of prescription drugs on the streets but they are very expensive and they can get heroin so much cheaper. So they all move to heroin … and then they’re chasing pure fentanyl, then carfentanil.”
The largest population struck by the opioid crisis is white males between the ages of 31 and 39, “which should be your strong working class, not your strong addicted class,” said Plummer.
Distribution
Fentanyl is being produced clandestinely in Mexico and also comes directly from China, according to the DEA. And Mexican heroin accounted for 79 percent of the total weight of heroin analyzed by the DEA in 2014.
Plummer said Dayton has become a hub for opioid distribution.
“It’s very, very different from the past. In the past, it would go to Columbus, or from Chicago to Dayton. And now it’s coming directly from Mexico to Dayton, Ohio,” he said. “We have highway 75 coming through our community and Interstate 70, two major interstates, so now they can come to Dayton, get on 70, then go east to New York or west to Chicago.”
Plummer said dealers from neighboring Indiana travel to Dayton to buy the $6 gelcaps and then sell them for $20 a pop in Indiana.

In the past, the cartel would handle the dealing, car to car, but now they turn the work over to the local gangs, Plummer said. He said there are a lot of homegrown gangs in the area, such as the Dayton View Hustlers, as well as national gangs like the Crips and the Bloods.
The Mexican cartels “bring up the large shipments, and the gangs distribute it on the streets, and the cartel collects the revenue and then takes it back to Mexico,” he said.
Plummer said an estimated $65 million in drug money is going back to Mexico from his county annually.
“And I can’t even afford a new police car because we are so strapped for finances,” he said, adding that besides the cartels, the only ones who benefit are the funeral homes.
“You see, what these dealers are doing now is, they go to gas stations, and they will throw two to three gelcaps in your car, and these are called testers,” Plummer said. “Then they will toss their business card in there too, ‘Try these. If you like them, call me.’ So if you try one, you’re addicted, and they’ve got you.”
That’s the street distribution.

The other major distribution method is much more hidden and harder to intercept. It happens online over the darknet—which masks the user’s location and identity—and through the postal service. Addicts can purchase fentanyl and heroin on a website that can only be accessed using special software. The drugs then get shipped via FedEx or UPS directly to their doorstep.
“We have only one postal inspector in this region, and he is in Kentucky, so there is a huge gap,” Plummer said. “We need more assets in all these hubs. We need dogs sniffing boxes.”
An online darknet marketplace called AlphaBay was seized and taken down by the Department of Justice in July. The site hosted some 220,000 drug sale listings and was responsible for countless synthetic opioid overdoses, the DOJ said in a statement.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions shared the story of Grant Seaver, who was a 13-year-old student in Utah. Seaver died after overdosing on a synthetic opioid that had been purchased by a classmate on AlphaBay.
“The ability of these drugs to so instantaneously end these promising lives is a reminder to us all of just how incredibly dangerous these synthetic opioids are—especially when they are purchased anonymously from the darkest places on the internet,” Sessions said in a speech on July 20.

Solutions
Instead of shoring up his resources to fight the tide of addiction overwhelming his county, Plummer has been forced to lay off officers due to budget constraints in recent years.
“If I had 20 people to throw at this, I could have 24-hour, continual pressure on this problem, and we could change it,” Plummer said.
He sees the solution as three-pronged: cutting off supply, treating addicts, and preventing the next generation from entering the cycle.
[Dealers] go to gas stations, and they will throw two to three gelcaps in your car, and these are called testers. Then they will toss their business card in there, too.
— Sheriff Phil Plummer
“Unfortunately, America has become a pill society. If you have a headache, you take a pill. If you have a backache, you take a pill. We have to change the culture, and it is going to take a while. We didn’t get like this overnight, so it’s going to take a long time to educate folks,” Plummer said.
He wants to see tougher measures against drug traffickers and believes the current administration is moving in the right direction.
“The frustrating part is, we’re using Narcan to revive people and then they [cartels] send over stronger synthetic products that are now starting to defeat our Narcan. We are used to using two doses of Narcan to revive somebody, and now we are up to six. Our record is 46 doses of Narcan on one person to revive them. And that’s $50 a shot.”
Narcan contains 4 milligrams of naloxone hydrochloride, which blocks the effects of opioids in the body. It is a nasal spray administered up the patient’s nostril and the effects are often very quick. Subsequent doses can be administered every two to three minutes, depending on patient response.

The department conducts blitzes in cooperation with local police departments. Officers in unmarked cars watch locations like gas stations, which are common places for drug dealing.
“We will watch the drug deal go down, then marked cars will come in and try to stop the dealer and the addicts,” he said. The locations are chosen based on overdose data and complaint calls.
If someone dies from an overdose, the department’s HEAT (heroin eradication apprehension) team investigates the scene for evidence of who the dealer is.
“If you die from that dealer’s product, we try to charge the dealer with involuntary manslaughter. We’ve had two or three cases that were successful already,” Plummer said.
On the addict side, Plummer’s department has set up several initiatives to try to get people into treatment. Deputies, faith-based volunteers, and other volunteers will go to the home of an addict who has overdosed and required Narcan to be revived.
“We go out in your neighborhood, knock on your door, and we educate your family on the dangers of the stuff and what kind of resources are out there for treatment,” he said.
“Every Wednesday, they’re out knocking on the doors, like those 17 overdoses that we had? Wednesday, they will be out knocking on their doors, and they will drag you to treatment. It’s been pretty successful.”

In 2013, Plummer said the department was getting calls from parents, saying, “My child’s addicted, and we have no place to take them, and they’re going to die.”
So the Front Door program was launched, in which a deputy would go to pick up the addict.
“We had agreements with treatment centers, so we would drive them right to the treatment center, no questions asked, start the treatment, and we would figure out how to pay for it later,” he said.
If you die from that dealer’s product, we try to charge the dealer with involuntary manslaughter.

“We need to treat these folks and keep them alive. We have to give them another day to fight for their lives,” he said.
But there is always a new challenge.
“The majority of our people dying now are individual addicts who are sneaking off and doing it by themselves, so there is nobody there to support them. We are finding them in their bathroom; they sneak in there and shoot up, out they go, and there is nobody there to find them,” Plummer said.
“The addiction is so great, it’s hard to turn the addict around.”
Federal Support
At the federal level, President Donald Trump instructed his administration to use all “appropriate emergency and other authorities” to respond to the opioid epidemic, in an official statement on Aug. 10.
We have no alternative. We have to win for our youth.
— President Donald Trump
The president was briefed two days prior by his Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis.
“We’ve got a tremendous team of experts and people that want to beat this horrible situation that’s happened to our country,” Trump said on Aug. 8 in Bedminster, New Jersey.
“We have no alternative. We have to win for our youth. We have to win for our young people. And, frankly, we have to win for a lot of other people, not necessarily young, that are totally addicted and have serious, serious problems.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions traveled to Columbus, Ohio, on Aug. 2 to announce the creation of the Opioid Fraud and Abuse Detection Unit, a pilot program of the Department of Justice.
The unit will delve into data that shows “which physicians are writing opioid prescriptions at a rate that far exceeds their peers; how many of a doctor’s patients died within 60 days of an opioid prescription; the average age of the patients receiving these prescriptions; pharmacies that are dispensing disproportionately large amounts of opioids; and regional hot spots for opioid issues,” Sessions said in a statement.
Sessions is also assigning 12 prosecutors to investigate and prosecute opioid-related health care fraud cases in a dozen locations around the country, including Dayton, Ohio.
Plummer attended the announcement by Sessions and said it was “very encouraging, because we have been experiencing this problem now for over four years and, finally, our federal government is realizing this is turning into an epidemic.”
“It is good to know that the government is taking this seriously and they’re going to throw additional resources at this.”

US health catastrophe: Drug overdose deaths approach 60,000 a year
By E.P. Milligan 10 August 2017
Drug overdose deaths in the United States are rising sharply, the National Center for Health Statistics reported Tuesday. For the year-long period ending January 2017, total US drug overdose deaths totaled 64,070, up 21 percent from 52,898 for the previous year. This is equivalent to 175 people dying every day from drug overdoses.
Based on more comprehensive data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control, whose figures lag behind the social reality by about a year, more than 500,000 Americans have died of drug overdoses in the period between 2000 and 2015—roughly equivalent to the population of Sacramento, California.
More Americans have died of drug overdoses in the 21st century than in all the US wars of the 20th and 21st century combined: World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The horrific scale of loss does not stem from an unexpected or unstoppable epidemic, like the medieval Black Death or the Spanish flu pandemic of 1919. It is not a natural but a social plague, the byproduct of the collapse of living standards and the destruction of jobs for tens of millions of working people.
The focal point of the drug overdose epidemic is deindustrialized America: factory towns, centers of coal mining or timber harvesting, areas targeted for devastation by the profit system.
Broad swathes of the United States are barren shells of what once used to be. Factories and mills have closed, towns have withered, schools and hospitals have shuttered. Unemployment and underemployment run rampant, while the vast majority of jobs available to workers come with pay so miserable most have to take on a second or even third job just to survive. A decade after the financial meltdown of 2008, social inequality has reached intolerable proportions. It is within this context that one must understand the drug epidemic.
In previous decades, overdose deaths mainly afflicted the young and a subculture of the drug-addicted, many of them socially isolated or aging. This is no longer the case. There has been an 8 percent spike in overdose death rates for individuals between the ages of 25 to 44 in every racial and ethnic group in the US during the period of 2010 to 2015. Over the span of a mere five years, a substantial section of the American workforce—individuals in the prime of their lives—has been killed off.
Drug overdoses now account for more deaths than guns or car accidents. The overall death rate in 2015 was significantly higher than during the peak of the AIDS epidemic in 1995, the last time that US life expectancy actually decreased. The driving force is opioid overdoses, which now now account for around six in 10 drug deaths. This is in large part due to the influx of cheap and accessible opioid prescription medicines over the past decade, substances produced, distributed and heavily marketed by American pharmaceutical companies, at enormous profit.
The National Center for Health Statistics reported that overdose deaths reached a record 19.9 per 100,000 people in the third quarter of 2016—a sharp spike from the previously recorded 16.7 over the same three-month period a year earlier. The first two quarters of 2016 now show death rates of 18.9 and 19.3, also far larger than previous data suggested.
Even the current report remains contested by some experts, who think real numbers are higher still. In a separate study released Monday, Professor Christopher Ruhm, a public policy and economics professor at University of Virginia, argues that opioid death rates may be as much as 24 percent greater than the official totals.
The American ruling class has no solution to this health crisis except its usual prescription for every social problem: more police repression. At a press briefing Tuesday, President Trump pledged a law and order rampage. At the very same press conference he issued recklessly bellicose threats against North Korea, Trump pledged to “beat this horrible situation” of overdose deaths by beefing up the police force and escalating the war on drugs.
Trump criticized the Obama administration for being too lenient on prosecuting drug addicts and small- scale peddlers, pledging to crack down harder on the victims of the overdose epidemic. “We’re not going to let it go,” he said. “The best way to prevent drug addiction and overdose is to prevent people from abusing drugs in the first place. If they don’t start, they won’t have a problem.”
Trump’s authoritarian response will not result in the arrest of those truly responsible for the crisis: the CEOs of the major pharmaceutical companies. For years, corporations and investors alike have generated immense profits by flooding the medical market with highly-addictive prescription opioids like oxycontin, oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl.
The press briefing was held to highlight Trump’s refusal to adopt the recommendations of his own special commission, headed by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, which called for the declaration of a national emergency in the opioid crisis, to speed the flow of resources, in both money and medical manpower, to the worst-hit areas.
Instead, Trump insisted he will end the crisis through the building of a wall between Mexico and the United States, which he claimed would stop the flow of heroin into the country. To make matters worse, his budget proposal for fiscal 2018 aims to reduce funding for addiction treatment, research and prevention efforts.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Secretary Tom Price echoed Trump’s decision not to declare a national emergency in a statement to reporters yesterday, putting forth the contemptible lie that the epidemic was neither “an infectious disease” nor “a specific threat to public health.” The DHHS declared a state of emergency in Puerto Rico last year following the report of more than 10,000 Zika cases. Another was declared during the 2009-2010 flu season amid fears of a potential pandemic.
The impact of the opioid crisis is far greater.
Proposed cuts in Medicaid and other federal health programs will only magnify the scope of the drug crisis. A study issued on July 31 by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) found that uninsured people were twice as likely as those with health insurance to report prescription opioid misuse and also had higher rates of use disorders. It also revealed a correlation between mental health issues and opioid use. For many at-risk individuals, the threat of jail rather than drug counseling and treatment is essentially a death sentence.
An illegal alien who was previously deported at least 15 times is now on trial for an alleged drunk driving hit-and-run incident that severely injured a young boy.
Constantino Banda, a 39-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was allegedly drunk when he hit a couple and their 6-year-old son as they were driving home from Disneyland that day, prosecutors said according to FOX 5 San Diego.
Banda allegedly ran a stop sign and hit the family while allegedly being drunk, blowing a .08 percent blood-alcohol level.
“There was significant intrusion into the rear compartment of the passenger side of the vehicle,” Deputy District Attorney Christopher Chandler said of the incident, according to FOX 5. “You can see the current airbag deployed where [the 6-year-old boy] was seated in his child seat.”
According to prosecutors, the illegal alien was with his brother and another man before the accident, eating at a Chula Vista, California restaurant. At the restaurant, when Banda was leaving, he allegedly flattened the tires of his estranged wife’s friends’ car. Banda also allegedly grabbed the wife’s friend and ended up in a fistfight with a bystander who was trying to stop it.
While the illegal aliens’ defense attorney says he was not driving at the time of the incident, the mother of the child disputed those claims.
“Knowing that he’s lying and you know the struggles we are having because they’re not, Mr. Banda or his wife are not cooperating with insurance, the investigation or anything it’s getting harder to go in all the time and see him,” Ingrid Lake told FOX 5.
In the State of California, illegal aliens are allowed to register and obtain driver’s licenses. Left-wing politicians and open borders activists first pushed the initiative on the basis that it would make California roads safer, with now nearly 1 million illegal aliens having driver’s licenses, Breitbart Texas reported. Banda, at the time of the incident did not have one of these driver’s licenses.
Banda was last deported from the U.S. in January.

Cartel Gunmen Kill 10th Mexican Journalist in 6 Months
Authorities confirmed the murder of yet another Mexican journalist, marking 10 unsolved cases by suspected cartel gunmen in six months.
This week, yet unidentified gunmen shot and killed Mexican journalist Candido Rios Vasquez, a veteran crime beat reporter for the local newspaper Diario de Acayucan in the town of Covarrubias, Veracruz, Mexico’s Proceso reported. The murdered journalist was an outspoken critic of the Mexican government, its corruption, and repressive tactics.
At the time of the murder, Rios Vasquez was standing outside a local convenience store with former local police commander Victor Alegria and another man who has not been identified. A group of gunmen drove by the shop and opened fire, killing the unknown man and former cop. Rios Vasquez was seriously injured and died en route to a local hospital.
Despite the many assurances made by governments at the federal and state level, 2017 is one of the deadliest years for Mexico. The murders reached some of the once untouched tourist destinations and silenced Mexican journalists. In a span of five months, cartel gunmen murdered nine other journalists, Breitbart Texas reported.
Late last month, gunmen shot and killed veteran reporter Luciano Rivera at a bar in the resort town of Rosarito, Baja California. Rivera was a journalist with the local news outlet CNR TV.
In June, Mexican authorities confirmed that a charred body found in a rural area in Michoacan belonged to Mexican journalist Salvador Adame, Breitbart Texas reported. The TV reporter was kidnapped a month prior by a team of cartel gunmen.
In May, gunmen shot and killed Javier Valdez, a trailblazing journalist who helped start Rio Doce, an independent news outlet exposing government corruption and cartel activity in Sinaloa, Breitbart Texas reported.
In March, La Linea faction of the Juarez Cartel murdered investigative journalist Miroslava Breach, Breitbart Texas reported. Prior to her death, Breach covered relatives of a leading cartel member trying to take political office in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

UNDERSTANDING AMERICA’S LA RAZA MEX OCCUPIERS AND THEIR CULTURE THEY IMPOSE BUT WE PAY FOR:
AMERICA vs MEXICO: CLASHING CULTURES
By Frosty Wooldridge

Mexicans cheat, distribute drugs, lie, forge documents, steal and kill as if it’s a normal way of life. For them, it is. Mexico’s civilization stands diametrically opposed to America’s culture.
The legal age of sexual consent in Mexico is 12 years old. Sex with children at this age and younger is socially acceptable in Mexico. For example: A Mexican Lopez-Mendez pleaded guilty to sexual assault on a 10 year old girl in West Virginia.
Ten percent of Mexican families own two thirds of country’s wealth
By Alex González 23 August 2017
A new study by the United Nation’s Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL) reveals that economic inequality in Mexico is much higher than had been previously estimated. According to the study, the top 10 percent of Mexicans received over two thirds of the country’s income in 2012, while the bottom 10 percent earned just 0.4 percent that same year. This level of inequality is 77 percent higher than what had been previously calculated using official data.
According to the study, the richest 1 percent of Mexicans—between 125,000 and 220,000 people—own one third of the country’s assets. Meanwhile, half of the population—over 60 million people—lives in poverty. If the country’s wealth were to be equally divided among the population, each individual would receive a lump sum of $56,300, an amount greater than one person working at the minimum wage would earn working every day for 30 years.
After two centuries of vast improvements in the productive process, contemporary levels of inequality have reached standards not seen since feudal times. In nineteenth century New Spain, a mine’s owner earned between 700 and 1,000 times more than an average miner. In 2012, the top 1 percent earned 729 times more than the bottom 1 percent.
The results of the study would place Mexico, alongside Chile, as the countries with the highest levels of inequality in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an organization encompassing supposedly “developed” countries.
Most workers in Mexico—some 24 million people—work without a contract or as temporary workers. One of out every five Mexicans goes hungry, and the daily minimum wage ($5 USD) is not sufficient to support a family. Over half of the population does not earn enough to cover basic expenses, such as food, clothing, transportation, and housing. According to a 2015 report by Oxfam, the wealth of Mexico’s 16 billionaires multiplies fivefold each year, while 48 percent of state schools have no access to sewage, 31 percent have no drinking water, 13 percent have no bathrooms or toilets, and 11 percent have no access to electricity.
The study lays bare the degree to which financial corporations, many from the United States, have come to dominate every aspect of life in Latin America, producing widespread social misery while filling the pockets of the top 1 percent and the next 9 percent.
In Mexico, the average yield from capital has been 15 percent annually in recent years, compared to a rise in the average industrial wage of only 4 percent per year. Eighty percent of financial assets in the country are in the hands of 10 percent of the population. A mere 23,000 people and corporations control about one fifth of the country’s financial assets, while half of the population does not even have a bank account.
The vast monopolization of the economy is also present outside of the financial sector. Six hundred companies own 64 percent of assets in the manufacturing sector, 40 companies own one-third of assets in retail, and 22 companies own 89 percent of assets in the telecommunications sector. Overall, just 10 percent of Mexican companies control 93 percent of the country’s assets.
The claims of various pseudo-left groups that Chinese trade in Latin America has supplanted US hegemony in the region are nothing short of absurd. As the figures from the CEPAL study lay bare, it is US finance capital that calls the shots in the Mexican economy. Their cries of “Chinese imperialism” serve to obscure the reactionary role of the US in the region and to position their own forces as willing partners in the suppression of working class opposition.
These conditions of mass misery and want have created a social powder keg, where further attacks on the living conditions of the working class can generate reactions—such as the spontaneous gasolinazo protests that erupted throughout the country earlier this year—that could explode into a massive movement throughout Mexico, and even throughout the continent.
In fact, the growth of millionaires and inequality in Mexico is the inevitable outcome of capitalist economic relations, where the socially produced labor of workers enriches the private owners of the means of production. López Obrador speaks for the “next 9 percent” of Mexican society, who seek better terms for the Mexican bourgeoisie from US finance capital and are deeply hostile to the Mexican working class.
As the CEPAL study’s figures starkly reveal, any significant improvement in the lives of the Mexican masses will require a direct attack on the wealth of the ruling class, in Mexico and around the world. This reallocation of wealth from the pockets of the few to the benefit of the masses can only take place in a struggle for international socialism in unity with their North and South American class brothers and sisters.

Illegal Alien Gets 40 Years in Prison for Getting His 10-YEAR-OLD Daughter Pregnant
A judge sentenced a Mississippi man who entered the U.S. illegally to 40 years in prison for getting his daughter pregnant.
Natalio Vitervo-Vasquez pleaded guilty to Friday morning to sexual battery with a child under 14-years-old, WDAM reports.
Prosecutors say the girl, who was 11-years-old at the time, went to a medical center where it was determined she was pregnant. Officials say she would have conceived the child at ten years of age.
She told prosecutors that Vitervo-Vasquez “touched her and gave her something to drink” after taking her to a hotel room. She also told officials that the drink he gave her “made her sleepy.”
WJW reports that she gave birth to a baby boy with multiple birth defects in November 2016. The baby died in surgery at a hospital in Jackson.
The prosecuting district attorney in Jackson said DNA taken from the mother determined with 99.9 percent certainty that Vitervo-Vasquez was the father.
Vitero-Vasquez, who prosecutors say was deported twice, did not have a social security number and could not read or write.
The judge sentenced Vasquez to 40 years in prison, ordering that he serve a mandatory minimum of 25 years and be deported immediately after he is released.
Other illegal aliens have been in the news this week after being charged with raping a minor.
An illegal alien who was arrested last Sunday for allegedly raping a 7-year-old girl had been deported once before.

Mexicans cheat, distribute drugs, lie, forge documents, steal and kill as if it’s a normal way of life. For them, it is. Mexico’s civilization stands diametrically opposed to America’s culture.
The legal age of sexual consent in Mexico is 12 years old. Sex with children at this age and younger is socially acceptable in Mexico. For example: A Mexican Lopez-Mendez pleaded guilty to sexual assault on a 10 year old girl in West Virginia.
Illegal Alien Who Allegedly Killed Woman is Free in Mexico, Says Husband
The man who allegedly killed a woman in Las Vegas, Nevada, is now walking free in Mexico after being released by federal immigration officials, according to the victim’s husband.
Billy and Kathy Dolan were married for 30 years when one day, the man received a message from the local coroner’s office that his wife had been killed in a car accident, according to FOX 5 News.
“We were both stopped at a red light and I looked over at her and thought ‘There she is,’” Dolan told FOX 5. “I don’t usually stare, but this time I did, and the car behind me actually honked because the light turned green. Was this God telling me this is the last time I was going to see her alive.”
Police told Dolan that his wife had been struck by 30-year-old illegal alien Alfredo Vazquez-Orozco as he was allegedly drunk-driving at a high speed. The GoFundMe page for Kathy’s funeral donations say she was “on her way for a kidney dialysis treatment on the west side of Las Vegas.”
“Kathy always went early so she would have the rest of her day to recover, be with her husband Billy, and her beloved cats,” the page states.
Following the crash, the illegal alien was charged with a DUI for the death of Kathy and drug possession. According to Dolan, the man did not remain in police custody long before he was released to Mexico:
He said no one has been keeping him in the loop about what is going on with his wife’s case so he called the District Attorney’s office to ask. That’s when he was told that Vazquez-Orozco was a free man in Mexico.
“They walked him to the border and just let him go,” Billy said.
Dolan is now looking to hire a legal help to find his wife’s alleged killer in Mexico, saying without justice for his wife, he struggles to live day-to-day.
“When I wake up, I think about her, I kiss her, I hold her, this is all I have,” Dolan told FOX 5.

AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!
“The percentage of foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has more than tripled over the last four decades and while the U.S. represents just 5 percent of the world’s population it attracts 20 percent of the world’s immigrants, according to a new report.”
Open the floodgates of our welfare state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone.
Those most impacted are middle class and lower middle class. It is they whose jobs are taken, whose raises are postponed, whose schools are filled with non-English speaking children that absorb precious resources for remedial English, whose public parks are trashed and whose emergency rooms serve as the local clinic for the illegal underground.
ONE AMERICAN COUNTY….under Mex occupation
LOS ANGELES COUNTY HANDS MEXICO’S ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS MORE THAN A BILLION PER YEAR.
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas — The capital of this border state saw a recent spike in cartel violence after hitmen attacked a local restaurant during business hours. The attack resulted in the murder of the owner and injury to two of his employees.Hours prior to the murder, this city had three other murders and other cartel attacks.
The Los Zetas faction called Cartel Del Noreste or CDN took credit for the wave of crime through Facebook pages that deal with security conditions in Tamaulipas. In the case of the restaurant owner, the attack took place at his business, Food Porn, in the northern part of the city. Authorities identified the murder victim as Abraham Ramses Cardenas Islas. He died from multiple gunshots to the body.
The bullets also struck bartender Mario Herrera Urbina and a waiter, Rene Ramirez Peña. The employees were only hurt in the attack, which took place during business hours.
A few minutes after the attack, Facebook posts in pages that deal with security conditions in the state revealed that members of the CDN were taking credit for the murder and issuing additional threats claiming that the business was a money laundering front for their rivals with the Gulf Cartel and the Vieja Escuela Zeta.
The CDN is an offshoot of Los Zetas that has been at war with another offshoot called Vieja Escuela, Breitbart Texas reported. The rival factions have been fighting over the cities that Los Zetas used to control. In recent months, the CDN had suffered many casualties in Ciudad Victoria but suddenly the cartel made a comeback setting off a fierce wave of violence. The lack of security conditions that have affected this city goes on without government officials being able to stop it or at least decrease it.
Hours after the murder at the restaurant, the CDN issued other threats during the day. They threatened anyone who worked with their enemies.
Prior to posting those messages in the southeastern part of the city, authorities found the body of an unidentified man who had been shot twice in the head and twice in the body.
Soon after that murder, in the central part of the city, cartel gunmen executed two men who were riding in a Dodge Dakota. The two men have been identified as Cesar Del Angel Rodriguez Rodriguez and his cousin Adalberto Ramos Rodriguez. Both men received two gunshots to the head.
A team of gunmen also shot a student named Juan Fernando Sanchez Bustos. The 18-year-old was shot in the legs and had a grazing wound to his head. Medical personnel rushed him to a local hospital. The teen is allegedly tied to organized crime.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by “Francisco Morales” from Tamaulipas.
GRAPHIC: Corpse Left Hanging from Overpass As Cartel War Rages in Mexico
A body hanging from a bridge next to a painted warning reveals the ongoing horrors that Los Zetas continue to spread throughout Mexico in their protracted war for drug trafficking territories.
This week, members of the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas executed a man and hung him from an overpass above a busy highway in the city of Matehuala, San Luis Potosi. The gory sight included a message painted on the cardboard that was left at the crime scene. Photographs were shared on social media by citizen journalists.
The cardboard was signed by an unknown figure known only as Comandante GAFE with the CDN. The message claimed the cartel was cleaning the “plaza” or cartel territory, pointing to an escalation of violence in the once quiet region. The GAFE nickname hints to some of the original Zetas who were Mexican Special Forces (GAFES). The nickname was also used by a currently jailed Gulf Cartel boss who operated in the border city of Reynosa.
For over a year, rival factions of Los Zetas have fought for control of lucrative trafficking territories and routes into the U.S., Breitbart Texas reported. One faction, known as Vieja Escuela Zeta or “Old School Z”, had begun attacking the regions previously held by the Zeta faction known as CDN. Initially, the fighting took place in the border states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, and Coahuila, however, non-border states like San Luis Potosi have begun to see a spike in cartel violence. The fighting is mostly reflected in gory executions and targeted attacks.
San Luis Potosi serves as a midway point for cartels moving drugs or human cargo from the coastal areas or the central part of Mexico to the border states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, and Coahuila.

DOJ: 13 MS-13 Gang Members Arrested in Ohio, Indiana
(CNSNews.com) - The Justice Department announced Tuesday that 13 members and associates of the MS-13 gang were arrested in Central Ohio and Indiana.
A total of 15 suspected MS-13 members were charged with federal crimes - 10 of them with conspiracy to commit extortion, conspiracy to commit money laundering and use of a firearm during a crime of violence. Five defendants were charged with reentering the country after deportation. Two of the 15 alleged MS-13 gang members are fugitives.
“With more than 10,000 members across 40 states, MS-13 is one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the United States today," said Attorney General Sessions. "MS-13 members have killed children and pregnant women, extorted immigrant-owned businesses, and trafficked underage girls to sell them for sex. President Trump has ordered the Department of Justice to reduce crime and take down transnational criminal organizations, and we will be relentless in our pursuit of these objectives. Today's charges are our next step toward making this country safer by taking MS-13 off of our streets for good.”
MS-13, once known as La Mara Salvatrucha, has been designated as a "transnational criminal organization" - the first and only street gang to be designated as such.
According to the indictment, 10 defendants conspired to commit extortion through the use of threatened or actual force, violence or fear to intimidate their victims into paying money to the defendants and their co-conspirators. The money from these crimes was sent through wire transfers and intermediaries to MS-13 gang members and associates in El Salvador - where the gang originated - and elsewhere.
That money was used to promote and facilitate criminal activities of MS-13 in El Salvador and the U.S., according to the DOJ. It was used to buy cell phones, drugs, and weapons, and to financially support MS-13 and those gang members that are jailed in El Saldavor and the U.S., as well as those who were deported and the families of dead MS-13 members.
Mexican Gangs Create ‘Narco Saints’ to Moralize Crime

Drug cartels and street gangs in Mexico are creating their own religions and altering beliefs in existing Catholic saints, in a move to create a new “narcoculture” that tries to morally justify crime and violence.
Some of these new figures of worship are existing Catholic saints, most of which have had their meaning altered for the narcoculture. Some are pulled from Aztec gods worshipped through human sacrifice, while others are new creations altogether.
The two most popular figures of worship in Mexico are products of this new narcoculture. The most popular is St. Jude Thaddeus, also called “Saint Judas,” while the second most popular is a newly created folk saint called Santa Muerte, “Saint Death.”
For the rest of Mexico, the growth in popularity of narco saints presents a moral crisis, since they are not only being used to alter the traditional, morally based faiths, but also to create a new system of morals that supports violent crime.
What is taking place in Mexico is a form of “spiritual appropriation,” whereby the existing religion is being altered to justify a criminal insurgency, according to Robert J. Bunker, adjunct research professor at the Strategic Studies Institute at U.S. Army War College.
There is a spectrum of beliefs in Mexico that ties directly to the growth of crime. Bunker said at one extreme, there are those who adhere to traditional Catholicism and other morally based religions. At the other extreme “would be those individuals whom we consider to be ‘evil’ in their value system.”
Yet as the narcoculture continues to develop, it is becoming harder for people to differentiate the legitimate figures from the newly created “narco saints.” Bunker noted the case of Saint Judas, a legitimate Catholic saint now commonly worshipped for protection by smugglers, bandits, gangs, and drug cartel members.
He said a slightly more extreme case is the new “bandit saint,” Santo Niño Huachicolero, which is an alteration of a legitimate Catholic saint, Santo Niño de Atocha, or “Holy Child of Atocha.”
The Catholic News Service warned of the newly altered saint on May 12, noting that it was created by a gang of gasoline thieves known as “huachicoleros” southeast of Mexico City who altered the image of the Christ child to show him holding a gas can and hose. It cites Father Paulo Carvajal, archdiocesan spokesman, as stating: “This image can never be accepted. Being a ‘huachicolero’ is practically a crime. The church cannot be in favor of this, much less be in favor that images are used in this way.”
Carvajal said the new saint is being used to “deceive” people. Locals following the new saint have even protested to defend the gas thieves from law enforcement.
Bunker noted the significance of the phenomena, saying, “A venerated 13th-century Catholic saint has just been ‘spiritually hijacked’ by criminal elements in Mexico and recast as the patron deity of gasoline thieves before our eyes.”
With the creation of the new saint, “another demographic, albeit a relatively small one, has just further rationalized their criminal behaviors—which are at odds with state authority—by having someone to pray to in order to achieve success in their gasoline-stealing endeavors,” he said.
“From a Catholic Church and traditional Mexican societal perspective, another grouping of people just ‘jumped ship’ and went over to the narco and criminal elements of society in both their hearts and minds.”
‘Left-Hand’ Saints
The cases of sanctioned Catholic saints relate to spiritual appropriation, according to Bunker, whereby people are altering religions to justify acts—such as theft and smuggling—that would traditionally violate the religion.

On a spectrum that classifies beliefs on a “left-hand path” as ones that could be viewed as purely evil and on a “right-hand path” as ones of traditional morals, these new saints and figures fall from the middle to the left.
Bunker describes the spectrum of narco saints in the book “Blood Sacrifices: Violent Non-State Actors and Dark Magico-Religious Activities,” published in 2016.
Many cartels and criminal organizations in Mexico can no longer be viewed as merely conventional criminal groups, since many of them use narco saints to try to justify, or even sanctify, their crimes.
The Familia Michoacana cartel and the Caballeros Templarios cartel, which are two of the largest drug cartels in Mexico, worship the newly created San Nazario, “The Craziest One.” Their crimes play a direct role in their worship of their manufactured saint, who they believe requires torture, ritual killing, and cannibalism.
The Sinaloa cartel worships an unsanctioned saint of drug traffickers, bandits, and outlaws that they refer to as “Jesús Malverde,” also known as “Generous Bandit.”
Even “Saint Death,” which carries the image of the grim reaper, has a strong criminal following. According to “Blood Sacrifices,” the new “folk saint” is worshipped by the Los Zetas cartel, the El Gulfo cartel factions, and by many other gangs. Their worship often includes ritual killing, offering of human body parts, and cannibalism.
Mid-sized Mexican gangs and criminal outfits also have their manufactured saints. The Mexican Mafia, the Sureños, and Barrio Azteca, for example, worship the Aztec war god Huitzilopochtli. Bunker notes that while the deity’s requirements are often less gruesome than the new saints worshipped by many cartels, it is still used to justify the ideology of violent crime.
A Social Dilemma
For the rest of Mexico, the growth in popularity of narco saints presents a moral crisis, since they are not only being used to alter the traditional, morally based faiths, but also to create a new system of morals that supports violent crime.
In the conventional view of crime in the United States, people in criminal gangs are often motivated by financial gain, are pulled into lives of crime due to poverty or poor education, or join the gangs for a sense of belonging.
Bunker noted that while this conventional understanding of gangs and organized crime may still be largely accurate in the United States, it cannot be used to understand Mexican cartels or related Latin American gangs such as MS-13 and 18th Street.
These groups, he said, “are evolving into something much more dangerous that blurs our understanding of criminal activity and warfare.” He said they have become “challengers to the state” and have carved out their own territories in many countries where they can act with impunity.
The creation of new religions only adds to the severity of the threat. He said the groups’ criminality is “no longer just secular,” since they have added a new spiritual component to their actions, and they are now spreading these new ideologies among the general population—creating warped, “criminalized” societies.
Bunker noted that Americans and Europeans often see the world through “utilitarian, rationalistic, liberal democratic and secular colored lenses,” and these “perceptual biases” often prevent them from seeing that some groups may have perceptions completely different from their own.
“This is why—as a nation—the U.S. falls into recurrent traps of our own making,” he said, noting the U.S. attempts at nation-building in countries like Afghanistan that have often overlooked the tribal and factional cultures in those countries and their illicit markets in opium production.
The same has applied to other areas, including with drug cartels and terrorist groups. He said this perceptual bias has prevented many in the United States from being able to understand that “some people, such as members of a specific cartel or a terrorist group, may kill for sport and pleasure—as in the case of Los Zetas—or truly believe that they are doing god’s work while beheading someone, as in the case of Islamic State adherents.”
