Situation Worsens

Our Gang

The Real Face of  Obama’s Open Immigration Policies

Something bad is taking place at the border.

“We’re seeing a lot of MS-13,” says Agent Mike Scioli of the U.S. Border Patrol. “They’re typically known to be guns for hire, they’re known to smuggle narcotics and human traffic across the border illegally.”

MS-13 stands for Mara Salvatrucha, the most violent street gang in the western hemisphere.

Last week Border Patrol agents arrested two MS-13 members: one in Tucson and one in Nogales.

The Nogales arrestee was identified by his tattoos – - the letter M on his right bicep; the letter S on his left; the number 1 on his right triceps; the number 3 on his left.

“He was already deported from Los Angeles back to Mexico and he was attempting to re-enter to join back up with his gang,” Scioli says.

Tucson’s Border Patrol Sector is the busiest in the U.S.  Last year its agents arrested about 317,000 illegal immigrants.  Scioli says 16 percent, or almost 50,000, had some type of criminal record.

But the presence of MS-13 merits special concern.

They specialize in transporting arms and drugs across the border. Most of the weapons come from El Salvador – - the homeland of most of the gang members – - where a hand grenade sells for $10; an M-16 rifle for $200; and an AK-47 for $1,500. The Maras have made a fortune by purchasing such weapons and selling them to members of other street gangs throughout the U.S.

In recent years, the Maras have taken over drug routes that had been established by other Latino gangs. At present, nearly 90 percent of the cocaine and marijuana that flows into the states comes from Mexico and the lion’s share from the trafficking remains under the control of MS. The drug business is so brisk that the gang has set up large warehouses to store the illicit drugs in Matamoros, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas.

Along with importing, the Maras also engage in exporting stolen goods from the U.S. to Latin America – - including massive amounts of baby formula, health and beauty supplies, cologne and perfume, and diabetes test strips from Texas; electronics from Arizona and California; and automobiles from nearly every state in the Southwest.

According to gang investigators from the District Attorney’s Office in Orange County, California, 80% of the cars on the streets of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras have been stolen from the United States by members of Mara Salvatrucha.

Thousands of MS members now occupy prison cells from Maine to California for such crimes as trafficking in illegal narcotics, home invasion, burglary, carjacking, extortion, witness intimidation, rape and murder, including the assassinations of three federal agents.

Many migrants who want to cross the 1,820 mile border between Mexico and the United States must come to terms with more than three thousand MS gang members who keep watch over the border crossings like turkey vultures.

The going rate for safe passage is $5,000. Families without the requisite cash are compelled to relinquish all their possessions – - family heirlooms, gold necklaces, silver bracelets, wedding rings, even their shoes and sombreros. Those with neither money nor tangible goods must come up with other offerings, including the sexual favors of their wives and children.

Those who resist payment are often hacked to pieces or tossed from moving trains. “There are hundreds who are pushed off trains by the Maras if they resist the robberies,” says Asdrubal Aguilar Zepeda, the Salvadoran counsel in Tapachula, Mexico, near the Guatemalan border. The bodies and body parts of dead migrants are often strewn along the railroad tracks from Tapachula to the northern regions of Mexico.

By controlling the leading passageways into the U.S., Mara Salvatrucha has transmogrified into a multimillion dollar enterprise, and, by so doing, has become a leading international Mafia.

    MS-13 has groups across the US, even in my state of Tennessee. Along the border we have the police and military, which many are involved with the drug cartels, terrorists, or just available to whomever will pay them off. Our border patrol agents are working with both hands tied behind their backs by our own government. The terrorists must be so proud. They want to get inside America with weapons to harm us, the Mexican border door is wide open, as is the Northern border only for other reasons.

  • Marilyn says:

    I live in Tucson, 50 miles north of Mexico. I grew up here, and I can’t begin to tell you how bad it has become. I am seeing more and more cars with Mexico plates, the home invasions are reported daily on the local news, drugs are everywhere, and the city is actually laying off cops. It is truly a full-blown invasion. The Federal and local governments are now useless. We have to face that fact and come together as citizens to protect ourselves and families.

  • Tiger Lily says:

    When I was a child living in the U.S. illegal immigration was not tolerated in any way here in the U.S.
    We lived in a American paradise!
    I once got my hands on Mexican magazines back in 1960.
    The criminal images in those books shocked and disgusted me!
    The shootings, the criminality, the Third world conditions, the dead bodies were disgusting.
    I was always so glad I didn’t live in Latin American culture.

    OUR LEADERS NOW HAVE ALLOWED THIS HORRIBLE CULTURE IN THE U.S..ILLEGALLY!
    Our Paradise is gone!

  • June says:

    Forget Posse Comitatus – we’re at war. Put armed military on the border. We’re much more at risk at the moment from these animals than the enemy overseas. The last few administrations and the present one have closed their eyes to the dangers. Every day, in newspapers around the country, we see the deaths of innocent people by illegal alien drunk drivers. Then the murders, domestic abuse, rapes and robberies. All this from people who don’t belong within our borders while their supporters are demanding not only anmesty but all the “rights” of citizens even before they are granted citizenship. These criminals have a sense of entitlement that is beyond belief. Let’s try in 2012 and get it right this time! Elect someone who’ll have as much common sense and a loyalty to Americans as Dwight Eisenhower had. No discussions, no waffling – just send them home. Period. We’ll have our country back, the US will gain billions of dollars and the crime rate will drop dramatically.

  • levotb says:

    Obama will never put troops on the Border. Bush did, but he disarmed them so that they were essentially harmless. As more and more BP officers are “sacrificed” for not wanting to hurt the Mexican government’s feeling, the American people will eventually demand it. It’s going to take a lot more murders-by-intruders to turn the People. We’re under attack by our own government, and that, sadly, is where our focus is. It should also be along the Border, particularly in CA and Arizona.

  • Tiger Lily says:

    The problem is we don’t elect our Presidents. They are installed by the Elite The Bilderberg group.
    We are not going to have a chance to improve this situation.
    We are in deep doo doo.

  • Compromizin says:

    Actually it was Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano who put unarmed troops at the border.

    Where is Janet now?

  • Bobby says:

    Our traitorous past several administrations have brought things this far. Don’t talk about Reagan. He was useless on border issues. He just had a big mouth and then gave amnesty to 4 million illegal aliens. There is practically not a singel politician who really seems to care about the border or the American citienries best interests. Americans need to do some serious voting out of office, recalling out of office, and firing out of office–RIGHT ACROSS THE NATION. OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. The U. S. will become like Mexico, drug lords everywhere, crime, corruption and failure. Stupid Americans who claim to care better wake up. Spread the word as to how many traitors we have.

  • Brent says:

    It only took getting jumped/robbed one time to figure out how to deal with spics. I learned this lesson when I was only 9 years old. Take up a position of cover and concealment..and shoot one shot at any gangster standing in a pack. I used a silenced .22 cal long rifle and always aimed for a buttock. The tattooed mongrels never know what hit em and eventually get the message it isn’t safe to stand around in plain sight. Granted, this is only a “problem” because those seeking world government have decided to wreck the USA using methods including the criminal diversion of wealth to foreign investors, transferring mfg. to China/India, and utilizing illegal immigrants to further bring down wages and standard of living. Again, you have a problem on your block, become the “LAW”..shoot em the ass.

  • Michael says:

    Too bad we dont have any politicians with the balls to build decent fence and add more border agents.
    No wonder that the sales of guns and ammo have skyrocketed, I’ve got mine, have you got yours?
    Be smart, get yourself a concealed carry permit.

  • Edgar Reed says:

    I live in the Houston, Texas area, and gang violence is a daily occurrence as reported in our daily “news”paper. I have had drills in my home with my wife and daughter, all of us are armed. All the police do is come clean up and report the casualties. Houston police are not allowed to ask if people are in the country legally – don’t want to upset the illegals!

    I cannot understand this reluctance to enforce the law, and our borders. Mexico certainly does! Get caught in Mexico illegally, and you WILL Pay! Often, with your life!

  • sportnwoody says:

    We are stuck with Obama until 2012 and with ACORN running a fraudulent registration campaign 2010 looks murky for wide spread voter fraud. Obama wants amnesty before the 2010 elections to get 20 million more Hispanic Democrat votes. If the people don’t rise up and force change it isn’t going to happen. America use to have a government protecting us, but in the last 20 years the government has been controlled by special interests, rich CEO’s, power hungry billionaires and political payoffs. The $hit will hit the fan this fall 2009 when the stock market crashes, the large banking sector falling like dominoes. The credit crisis has been underestimated and falsely under reported with many trillion’s in commercial and residential real estate debt. the coming collapse of the bond market, the foreign (China, Russia and the middle east oil nations) dumping of the dollar and lost credit viability, overnight devaluing of the dollar and a sudden spike in Gold and Silver prices, double digit inflation and more job layoff’s. Get ready for huge tax hikes for the middle class and business employers compliments of Obama, Pelosi, Frank, Reid, Boxer, Schumer and Maxine Waters.

  • James Bowery says:

    The explanation is simple:

    The people of the US will be increasingly punished by the traitorous elites until the people of the US accept the replacement of the US Constitution with the North American Union.

    That is the sole purpose of the US government now — to punish the people of the US.

  • O.K.

    They’re big.
    They’re violent
    They’re growing.

    Follow the money. It’s obvious that the gangbangers on the streets aren’t keeping the money, so who is getting it? Which banks? Which governments?

    Which politicians benefit?
    Which companies?
    Which individuals?

    These people make their profits from a number of sources.

    Illegal drugs and weapons are a major part of it. If these things weren’t illegal, the profits would evaporate.

    They recruit on the streets, and in jail and in prison. The more people we send to prison for victimless crimes, the more ‘recruits’ they have…mind you that being ‘recruited’ is more like being impressed or drafted…with the threat of death to keep you in line.

    Follow the money and power.

  • mimi says:

    Everyone who has commented seems to think this problem started when Obama came into office. HELLO? This has been a growing problem for years with NO cut-n-dry solution. You close the US borders, the bad guys will find another way. I don’t have the asnwer to this, however pointing the finger isn’t going to get anyone anywhere. Our country has a lot of problems, not only illegal immigration (and mind you, not all these creeps are ILlegal), and these problems did NOT begin on innauguration day 2009. Lets stop blaming the government, it is what it is, and start working with what you’ve got to maybe make it better. And let’s not be so ignorant as to name-call, they are hispanics, not spics. No one enjoys the terms redneck or white trash. These individuals might be the rot of the earth, but again, it is what it is. Hey the US isn’t 100% made up of angelic, saintly individuals. Here’s a novel idea, let’s clean up our own “trash” first, and move on from there.

    this does not happen in india…maybe we should deport some of our politicians from here so we could teach you how to deal with these bastardoz

  • Richard Roberts says:

    all i have to say is L-O MOTHER FUCKING L

  • Tab says:

    I think that all has to do with the New World Order and creating the North American Union…I wouldn’t be surprised if MS-13 was created by the government as a disstraction ploy and if not they still were created by them and us for turning our backs and ignoring those who are opressed because of this. If you back and animal into a corner enough, eventually it will attack you.
    I agree with the person who mentioned the Bilderberg group…they know what is going on. Refuse to be sheeople any longer.

    How do I get permission to post the MS-13 photos you have http://thelastcrusade.org/2009/07/31/ms-13-now-controls-mexican-border/ on my new website launching next year?
