Feds Arrest 34 in Sweep of Mexican-Linked L.A. Gangs

LOS ANGELES — More than 60 people allegedly linked to a Hispanic street gang have been charged with racketeering and drug trafficking in an indictment that accuses them of attacking blacks in South Los Angeles to maintain control in certain neighborhoods.
Of those under indictment, 34 were arrested during sweeps Tuesday following a three-year investigation, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
They are suspected members of the Florencia 13 gang, which authorities say is controlled by the Mexican Mafia.
Prosecutors accuse the group of shooting blacks, rival gang members and innocent residents.
"In their attempt to intimidate African Americans in the community, they targeted innocent citizens," U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien said.
A total of 61 defendants were named in two indictments — one charging violations of federal racketeering laws and the other charging federal narcotics trafficking violations. The indictments were returned by a federal grand jury on Sept. 27 and unsealed Tuesday.
Besides the 34 arrested, some of the others are already in custody or listed as fugitives, authorities said.
Those named in the racketeering indictment face 20 years to life in prison if convicted. The narcotics indictment carries 10 years to life in prison.

So how many of these are illegal immigrants? So if they all were, border control and immigration enforcement would have prevented all of there crimes and the crimes of all other illegals? I bet yes, which makes any crime by an illegal Preventable!

Enemies In Our Homes!
I have mentioned a group repeatedly in my blog here again and again. They are more of a threat to our country currently than Al Quida. Now think about that statement, More Of A Threat Than Al Quida. Why is that? Quite simply, this group is operating without hardly any restraint within our borders. They are killing people on our streets, and are aligned with people who do not care if you die because all they want is your money.
Our open borders are very much to blame. These are not our street gangs of yesterday. Actually, these guys are killing the street gangs of yesterday to clear a path for themselves. This group is funded by entities outside of our country that have more funds than the combined resources of our entire nations police departments and federal law enforcement COMBINED.
Another reason of why they are more of an eminent threat is that they are already here. They are in cities and towns across the entire United States.
So, who funds them? We do. Every drug user in our country is supporting these guys. The only people who get a pass here are your local weed smokers who grow their own. This group is tied into the drug cartels of South America.
Here is an article released today about this group.
Report: Street Gang MS-13 Trying to Unify in Major U.S. Cities, Become Powerful and Deadly Cartel
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 FOXNEWS.COM
Oh, its the MS13 again. A group made up of almost completely of Illegal Immigrants. This is the goods we reap from a relaxed attitude to the issue of our southern border. If the Federal Government believes they are somewhere, you can typically add to that by doubling their assessment.
So, I know some people are worried about undocumented workers and that we will harm them by closing our borders, are they aware of these undocumented workers? Besides, if you have come here illegally, why are we doing more to support them than the legal citizens of this country? If their is a starving family in our country who is not being cared for as well as these outsiders, than what we are doing is defecating on our own people. If there is a jobless citizen because he cannot compete with illegals at this low of a wage, we are urinating on our own people. We have families who are suffering daily who belong here, and have broke no laws, and they are not even getting half the help that our Illegals are getting. And many of the services they could receive are being drained by our Criminal Immigrants.
Are we so blind? Wake up America!

Report: Street Gang MS-13 Trying to Unify in Major U.S. Cities, Become Powerful and Deadly Cartel
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 FOXNEWS.COM
The vicious street gang MS-13
is trying to unify itself across the U.S., posing a threat to law enforcement in
major American cities — including the nation's capital — that could rival the
major drug cartels of Mexico and Colombia, according to a report
published Wednesday in the Washington
Times.
"Traditionally, the gang consisted of loosely affiliated groups
known as cliques; however, law enforcement officials have reported increased
coordination of criminal activity among Mara Salvatrucha cliques in the Atlanta,
Dallas, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and New York metropolitan
areas," states a confidential memo sent out earlier this month from the U.S.
Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Illinois, the newspaper
reported.
"MS-13 is attempting to become a unified criminal enterprise
operating under one leadership."
The newspaper obtained a copy of the memo and an Army intelligence presentation on the growth of MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha.
Federal law-enforcement officials say the gang is adopting
tactics used by major Mexican and Colombian drug-trafficking groups and has
become a gun-for-hire for many major Central and South American drug-trafficking
cartels, the newspaper reported.
"Indications that previously independent cliques are forming alliances with
other MS-13 cliques, as well as with other gangs to facilitate criminal
activity, further heighten the threat," the letter continued. "It would be
dangerous to look at MS-13 as just another street gang."
Oh, its the MS13 again. A group made up of almost completely of Illegal Immigrants. This is the goods we reap from a relaxed attitude to the issue of our southern border. If the Federal Government believes they are somewhere, you can typically add to that by doubling their assessment.

Fences and Walls, the difference is in the use.
I was reading an article called "Fencing Would Assist Border Agents" and my thoughts went to this subject and what I learned in history.
Fences and walls are bad or good depending on their uses.
If they are built to keep someone in (not including prisons and jails) which restricts them from freedom of movement like the Jews in Poland, it is wrong. Those walls and fences were traps. The food they got was what they could buy and passed through the fences to them. When their money ran out, they sold jewelry, family items, and even religious items. In time they even sold the gold in their teeth and the clothes they wore. When they ran out of items to trade, they died in mass. I suggest that everyone watches "The Nazi's: A Warning from History" which details many things about death camps, especially Treblinka. When moved from the Warsaw Ghettos to the death camps, the Jews were constantly imprisoned by walls and fences.
Now today, we can look to the Jews and many other people in how walls and fences are used for good. Walls and fences are being used to keep others who would hurt their people out. In our own society we use walls and fences to keep our own people safe, and that is the main difference. It is how a wall is used.
I have no problem using a wall to prevent criminals from gaining access to my house. I have no problem using a fence to keep convicted criminals in prison. I do have problems with walls that are built like the Berlin Wall which separated Germans from Germans. Now we must examine this a bit closer.
The Berlin Wall was built by the Soviets after World War II in 1961. Guard towers and land mines were placed to keep the East Germans in, and if they tried to cross to freedom, death was often the result. You could be shot for just approaching the fences and walls which made up the Berlin Wall. The Soviets would have spies in and amongst the populace listening for any talk of attempting an escape. If caught doing this, you faced prison or death.
This is not what we are doing today. Today we are asking that a fence be built to keep non-Americans out. Not just any non-Americans, but those wishing to enter illegally. Not only are many trying to enter illegally, many are bringing in drugs.
So that equals more than a pound of drugs per person captured. Now we all know that the Border Patrol is trying their best, but we can easily guess that this is around 4 to 10 percent of what is actually coming across. So why not a fence? We are not building it to keep Americans or Legal Immigrants from traveling. We are not building it to imprison anyone. We are building it to protect our lands.
Whenever I hear that these people are only coming to find a better life, I always wonder about the Latin Kings, MS 13, Mexican Mafia, Nortenos, and Surenos just to name a few. This isn't even getting into the organizations which have been missed by mainstream media and law enforcement. Now I do know that not all the members of these gangs are illegal immigrants, but if you trace the history in each group and current memberships, you will find more than enough of illegals to make you concerned. Oh, and this isn't even mentioning the other gangs from groups originally coming from places not south of our border.
A fence is only a start. Call it a stop gap measure, but any slowing of the flow of illegals and drugs would do us some good, and buy us some time to figure out a better solution than what we currently have now, which is almost nothing.

Border Agents arrested more than 1.1 million illegal aliens and seized more
than 1.3 million pounds of narcotics in the last year. BICE
