advantage of the "racial profiling" defense to protect their drug
trafficking thugs from Sheriff Arpaio, the Border Patrol, and local
sanctuary city police departments to engage in demographic takeover of
ever larger portions of the United States . . . all the while using the
monolithic "Hispanic vote" to ensure that Mexico's government controls
the rubber stamp Congress to the benefit of Mestizos brought into the
U.S. by organized criminal traffickers. Make no mistake by failing to
recognize that MS 13 and other Latino gangs are terrorists like Al Qaeda.

The photos shown here were taken on Dec. 17, 2009 on what is called
the Amnesty Trail. Two people, thought to be escorts for drug
toting "mules," are seen carrying rifles. Ten days after these
photos were taken a U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot - presumably
by someone protecting a drug load � not far from where these photos
were taken.
American Border Patrol has photos of thousands of border
crossers but this is the first time people have been seen carrying
weapons.
Violence against Border Patrol agents is up almost 300 percent
over last year. This follows a killing spree in Mexico that has
claimed more than 10,000 people since 2005.
The drug war in Mexico was precipitated by the construction of
new border fencing and barriers, not by Mexican President
Calderon's so-called crackdown. Although fence construction has
been halted there are new resources being thrown at the problem and
this can only make matters worse for the cartels. It may not be
long before the rule of not attacking U.S. officers is abandoned
and we begin to lose agents. How many must die before the
government finally seals the border? How long will politics
overrule protection?

Sheriff Gobble: Stopping Illegal Immigration
by Sheriff Tim Gobble
posted December 30, 2009
http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_165820.asp
It has been said that the United States is a nation of immigrants.
I agree with that. Unless you are of Native American ancestry, your
forefathers came to these shores from some other part of the world.
We have a rich history of ethic diversity and cultural influences.
It is one of the things that has made us unique in the world.
However, it is important to separate those who immigrate here from
other countries through legal channels from those who attempt to by-
pass our laws and sneak in illegally. We are a nation of laws and
illegal/criminal activity runs contrary to that principle.
Mass illegal immigration is also bad for our country because it
puts a burden on our resources and public services, such as law
enforcement, medical, educational and social services. Right now,
our nation is struggling with weakened economic conditions, with
some states actually facing the possibility of bankruptcy because
of uncontrolled spending. As a nation, we cannot continue
supporting mass groups of non-citizens with U.S. citizens� taxpayer
money.
Adding to this danger are attempts by some lawmakers to grant
amnesty and give �legal� status to illegal immigrants, complete
with all attendant rights American citizens now have, including the
right to vote. It is not reasonable that a person should enter our
country illegally and then be given the right to participate in
elections to select the very people who will decide high-level
policies, such as immigration. This cannot be allowed to happen.
Also, we should never underestimate the importance of border
security to the safety and stability of our nation. It is estimated
that there are between 11 to 20 million illegal aliens in this
country. The unrestrained flow of illegal traffic across our
borders has a direct impact on national security and the
ramifications of allowing it to continue go well beyond Bradley
County. International crime syndicates and violent street gangs
such as MS13 are well-positioned to take advantage of countries
that fail to secure their borders, and they are doing so. Open
borders also allow easy access to any terrorist or terrorist group
wishing to sneak biological and/or small tactical nuclear weapons
or other radiation devices into the country. National security
demands that we must do a better job of securing our borders.
We here at the BCSO take a proactive approach in identifying and
confronting criminal activity in our community, including those who
are here illegally. Whenever a person is arrested for a crime in
Bradley County and their identity is suspect, they are checked
against our Criminal Alien Program (CAP) to determine citizenship
or legal status. Anyone who is found to be here illegally, is
turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for
deportation, upon completion of their sentence or disposition of
their court case.
America has always welcomed people from other countries, but having
people cross our borders illegally cannot, and should not, be
allowed. It is a direct threat to our national sovereignty and
places an even heavier burden on future generations.

MEXICO CITY -- Mexican police have captured alleged drug lord
Carlos Beltran Leyva, just two week after his even more powerful
brother was killed in a shootout with troops-back-to-back victories
in President Felipe Calderon's drug war.
The Public Safety office said in a statement Saturday night that
Carlos Beltran Leyva was arrested in Culiacan, the capital of the
Pacific coast state of Sinaloa, where he and several of his
brothers were born and allegedly started their gang.
Two weeks ago, his brother Arturo, reputed chief of the Beltran
Leyva Cartel, was killed in a shootout with Mexican marines in the
central city of Cuernavaca.
Mexican officials in the past have described Carlos Beltran as a
key member of the gang, but it was unclear if he took over as chief
of the cartel after his brother died. A third brother, Alfredo
Beltran Levya, was arrested in January 2008.
Another brother, Mario Beltran Leyva, is still at large and listed
as one of Mexico's most wanted alleged drug lords.
Carlos Beltran Leyva, 40, was carrying a false driver's license
identifying him as Carlos Gamez Orpineda when he was arrested by
federal police Wednesday, the Public Safety Department said. He
later acknowledged he was Arturo Beltran Leyva's brother, the
department said.
The statement said there had been an arrest warrant for Carlos
Beltran Leyva since 2008. He was found with two guns and
ammunition, the statement said.
Public Safety officials said there
would be no immediate comment beyond the statement.
The Beltran Leyva brothers worked side by side with Joaquin "El
Chapo" Guzman, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, before they broke
away after Gulf Cartel leader Osiel Cardenas was arrested in 2003.
They soon seized the lucrative drug routes in northeastern Mexico.
U.S. officials say the Beltran Leyva Cartel has carried out heinous
killings, including numerous beheadings. The gang also has had
great success in buying off public officials, police and others to
protect their business and get tips on planned military raids.

Paving the Road to Amnesty in 2010

A comprehensive assessment of President Obama's record on
immigration during his first year in office
Executive Summary
After winning the 2008 election, President Obama has surrounded
himself with individuals who support granting amnesty to millions
of illegal aliens living in the United States.
Over the past year, members of the Obama administration - including
the President himself - have repeatedly made clear their support
for and intention to push amnesty legislation through Congress.
Previous debates over amnesty legislation have revealed
overwhelming public opposition to any type of plan to legalize the
illegal alien population. Knowing this, the Obama administration
will likely attempt to make their amnesty proposal more palatable
to the American people by tying the legislation to empty promises
of immigration enforcement.
The Obama administration's record on enforcement thus far, however,
tells the American people everything they need to know about the
administration's commitment to immigration enforcement. In less
than one year, President Obama has undermined nearly every
enforcement measure available to him, including:
Delaying - on three separate occasions - a requirement that federal
contractors use the federal E-Verify system to ensure that their
employees are legally authorized to work in the United States and
not illegal aliens;
Gutting worksite enforcement operations by allowing illegal aliens
to remain in the workforce to compete with American citizens and
legal immigrants for jobs;
Undermining the 287(g) program, which allows federal officials to
train state and local law enforcement agencies in the enforcement
of federal immigration laws, by forcing agencies who participate in
the program to focus on removing "dangerous criminal" aliens, as
opposed to all illegal aliens;
Failing to utilize the National Guard to secure our porous borders;
Advocating passage of the PASS ID Act, legislation that would gut
uniform security requirements for State-issued driver's licenses
and identification cards and re-establish many of the security and
immigration loopholes that allowed the 9/11 hijackers to carry out
the attack on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center; and
Altering the immigration detention system in such a way that will
almost certainly lead to an increase in the number of illegal
aliens who abscond after apprehension.
Accordingly, the Obama administration has not only failed to
effectively secure America's borders and enforce immigration laws,
but has also taken affirmative steps to disable enforcement. All of
this administration's efforts are geared toward allowing illegal
aliens to live, work, and collect public benefits as the
administration seeks the political opportunity to formally legalize
their status in the United States.

IT'S ALL OUR FAULT!!!!!!!!!
http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-fg-narco-book1-
2010jan01,0,6239821.story
Reporting from Mexico City - Almost everything to do with the
Mexican government's war against drugs is wrong. Wrong, wrong,
wrong.
The threat from narco-trafficking is overblown. Fighting cartels
won't stop the flow of illegal drugs or erase Mexican corruption.
The real battle over drugs lies on the U.S. side of the border.
That's the gist of a provocative new book that challenges virtually
every premise on which Mexican President Felipe Calderon has based
his 3-year-old offensive against drug cartels.
"El Narco: La Guerra Fallida" ("Narco: The Failed War"), by two top
officials under Calderon's predecessor, Vicente Fox, is one of the
first book-length looks at the crackdown launched by Calderon when
he took office in December 2006.
The Spanish-language book, which has sold well here, is
controversial and stubbornly contrarian, to the point of suggesting
that Mexico might be better off coming to terms with the drug capos
and focusing on smaller-bore crimes that plague Mexicans.
"Calderon could have easily launched a major crusade against
insecurity, violence and unorganized crime, on the type of minor
misdemeanors that gave birth to Rudy Giuliani's zero tolerance
stance in New York," the authors assert. "But that crusade would
never have unleashed the passions, support or sense of danger that
a full-fledged war on drugs actually did."
In "El Narco," former Fox spokesman Ruben Aguilar and former
Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda attempt an end run past the usual
debate over whether the Calderon anti-crime strategy is working.
Instead, they maintain that the offensive was unnecessary, and they
seek to poke holes in many of the reasons Calderon has offered for
launching a campaign that has claimed more than 15,000 lives.
The president's assertion that Mexico faced a crisis of deepening
drug consumption at home? They present figures showing that though
domestic use has risen, it is minuscule compared with countries
such as the United States.
Calderon's contention that drug violence had reached alarming
levels when he decided to act? The authors quote studies showing
that the nation's overall homicide rate had been in decline for
years. (It has gone up since.)
"Why in the world was it necessary to declare an all-out war
against the cartels because of growing violence, when violence was
actually diminishing?" the authors ask.
The book argues that U.S. drug use -- the motor of the violent
trafficking industry -- is largely unaffected by Mexico's
enforcement actions. The answer for Mexico, it says, lies in
swinging debate north of the border in favor of drug
decriminalization or legalization.
"If what is good for us is decriminalization, that is what we
should fight for," write Aguilar and Castaneda, a leftist
intellectual and commentator who is the better known of the two.
The authors propose some public-safety measures, including creation
of a national police force and a no-fly zone over southern Mexico.
But rather than send troops to fight drug cartels, they argue,
Mexico should focus on limiting the "collateral damage" that most
aggrieves Mexicans: kidnappings, extortion, car theft and
corruption.
This could mean "tacit quid pro quos" with gangs to get them to
keep down criminal mayhem in Mexico's streets, the writers say, but
it doesn't require a formal handshake.
"The narcos understand," they say. "If they were imbeciles, they
wouldn't be rich."
Aguilar and Castaneda contend that in launching the drug offensive,
the conservative Calderon sought to win legitimacy for his
presidency after a disputed election victory in 2006. That thesis
is heard often on the Mexican left.
Calderon hasn't directly referred to the authors, but he has
sharply criticized those who he says would have Mexico run from the
drug war or cut deals with traffickers. He says such approaches
would "erode the foundations that support our society, as a state
based on law."
Calderon has frequently characterized his crime crackdown as an
attempt to clean and modernize a system that had become thoroughly
corrupted through decades of official acceptance of the drug trade,
or even outright collusion with it.
Last month, he urged Mexicans to "ignore those who naively want the
government to just walk away from the fight, as if the problems
would solve themselves by magic."
The outspoken authors of "El Narco" are uncharacteristically spare
when it comes to solving Mexico's graft problem. They agree that
drug-related corruption has long been part of the Mexican
landscape, especially in small towns, but are skeptical of reports
that traffickers' penetration of the system had hit grave new
depths when Calderon sent troops into the streets.
"This is Mexico, not Norway," they write. "Narcos' complicity with
municipal, state and federal authorities wasn't born yesterday."

Older story but I recently read another one got busted in
connection with this case

Another So.Cal Police Officer Sentenced In the wake of Rampart
corruption scandal
Michael Webster, Investigative ReporterMay 07, 2008U.S. Justice
Department reports that former Long Beach police officer Joseph
Ferguson was sentenced in federal court in Los Angeles, Calif., for
his role in a series of home invasion robberies over a two-year
period which were connected to the LAPD in the wake of the 1999
Rampart corruption scandal. Ferguson was sentenced to 97 months in
prison and four years of supervised release.
On Jan. 30, 2008, a Los Angeles jury convicted the defendant of
conspiring to violate civil rights, conspiring to possess narcotics
with intent to distribute, and possession of narcotics with intent
to distribute. The defendant�s brother and co-defendant, former Los
Angeles police officer William Ferguson, was also convicted of
deprivation of rights under color of law and several firearms
offenses and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 19, 2008.
As previously reported by this reporter the evidence at trial
showed that the defendant and his co-defendants were members of a
wide-ranging criminal conspiracy, led by former Los Angeles police
officer Ruben Palomares and including other law enforcement
officers and drug dealers. Together, they committed more than 40
burglaries and robberies throughout the Los Angeles area between
early 1999 and June of 2001. The robberies generally were committed
after the group received information that a particular location was
involved in illegal drug-trafficking. The robbery teams usually
consisted of multiple sworn police officers in uniform or
displaying a official police badge, who would gain access to the
residence by falsely telling any occupants that they were police
officers and that they were conducting a legitimate search for
drugs or drug dealers. Victims often were violently restrained,
threatened or assaulted during the search. These brutal assaults
included firing point blank stun gun at a victim, striking victims
with police batons and putting a gun in the mouth of victims. After
these on and off duty police officers stole the drugs, they would
use co-conspirators to sell the drugs and they would split the
profits among the group.
In all, 17 defendants, including law enforcement officers from the
Los Angeles Police Department, the Long Beach Police Department,
the Los Angeles County Sheriff�s Department, and the California
Department of Corrections have been convicted or have previously
pleaded guilty to federal crimes in connection with the
conspiracies.
"This former police officer violated his oath as a public servant
when he, along with his co-defendants, began engaging in violent
criminal conduct," said Grace Chung Becker, Acting Assistant
Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "While the vast
majority of law enforcement officers carry out their difficult
duties in a professional manner, the Department of Justice will not
hesitate to prosecute those who cross that line."
During the course of the conspiracy, Palomares provided associates
with official LAPD badges, uniforms, radios, firearms and other
equipment. Some of the robberies were committed after the thieves
drove to the location in official LAPD police black and white squad
cars. The robbers used the LAPD equipment to make victims believe
they were the subject of legitimate law enforcement operations and
to minimize the defendants� risk of being questioned if confronted
by law enforcement officers.
The indictment alleged a series of incidents in which the robbery
crew broke into houses and commercial establishments with the goal
of obtaining narcotics, cash, guns and other valuables. Palomares
was involved in all of the incidents, with the Fergusons and Loaiza
participating in many of them. In one burglary, members of the gang
allegedly stole 600 pounds of marijuana. In another incident,
several co-conspirators allegedly stole television sets from an 18-
wheel truck in Montebello. And, in another robbery outside a
Fontana market, Palomares and another man dressed as a police
officers robbed a man of $45,000 worth of pseudoephedrine pills,
which are the key precursor chemical in the manufacture of
methamphetamine.
The other three defendants named in the indictment are fugitives at
this time. They are:
Michelle Barajas, 38, of Paramount;
Armando Contreras-Lopez, 35, of Paramount; and
Oscar Loaiza, 35, of Montebello, who is a cousin of Palomares.
These three defendants are accused, along with the three law
enforcement defendants, of conspiring to violate civil rights and
conspiring to possess both marijuana and cocaine with the intent to
distribute the narcotics.
"The depth of corruption and audacity among these law enforcement
officers is nothing less than stunning," said United States
Attorney Debra Wong Yang. "While having a badge imparts some degree
of power to an officer of the law, it also imparts a great deal of
responsibility. In addition to rejecting their responsibilities to
the law, these officers rejected their sacred responsibilities to
their communities and their departments."
"These defendants, who were sworn to serve and protect the people
of Los Angeles, went from enforcing the law to breaking the law,"
said Grace Chung Becker, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the
Civil Rights Division. "While the vast majority of law enforcement
officers carry out their difficult duties in a professional manner,
the Department of Justice will not hesitate to prosecute those who
cross that line."
"This case exposed a dark world of corrupt law enforcement officers
who defiled their badges and compromised the good work of their
colleagues," said U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien. "The home
invasion robberies committed by these former officers shocks the
conscience and will lead to lengthy prison sentences that they so
richly deserve."
"The reality is, no police department is immune from bad cops,"
stated Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton. "I have no
tolerance for intentional misconduct and will deal with it
forcefully and aggressively. Supervision, safeguards and civilian
oversight are used to monitor employees and ensure quality police
service. No good cop wants to work with a bad cop. No good cop
wants a bad cop in their Department. Today's announcement proves we
are committed to getting rid of those who would tarnish the LAPD
badge."
Long Beach Police Chief Anthony Batts stated: "When a police
officer violates the laws that he has sworn to uphold, it erodes
the public trust that we in law enforcement work so hard to build.
The men and women of the Long Beach Police Department take great
pride in their work and are fully committed to the safety of our
community. Reckless actions by individuals that undermine the
integrity of this department and damage the public trust will not
be tolerated."
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a
crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven
guilty in court.
Ruben Palomares, 36 of Diamond Bar, who was arrested on federal
narcotics charges in 2001 and was terminated by the LAPD in 2003;
Gabriel Loaiza, 30, of Montebello, who received law enforcement
training and unsuccessfully applied to be a non-sworn employee of
the Long Beach Police Department in 2000, was arrested with
Palomares in 2001;
Jesse Moya, 29, of Whittier, who was a Los Angeles Police Officer
until late 2004;
Manuel Hernandez, 25, of Pico Rivera, who is a cousin of Palomares;
Alvin Moon, 30, of San Gabriel, who also received law enforcement
training and unsuccessfully applied to the Los Angeles Police
Department, was arrested along with Palomares and Gabriel Loaiza in
2001;
Manny Martinez-Godinez, 25;
Jessica Treat, 31, of Whittier;
Steve Quintero, 30, of Montebello, a custodial police officer with
the Garden Grove Police Department;
Geronimo Sevilla, 32, of Whittier, who met Palomares while he was a
LAPD explorer scout and who unsuccessfully applied to the
department in 2000;
Jesus Estrada Dominguez, 40;
Pablo Estrada, 29, of La Puente, a friend of Gabriel Loaiza;
Juan Pablo Mendoza, 29, of Muscoy, who is a cousin of Palomares;
and
David Barajas, 32, of Paramount, a longtime friend of Palomares who
is currently in custody on unrelated narcotics charges.
"The FBI counts public corruption as its top criminal program
priority, and this case illustrates that commitment. Investigators
and detectives tirelessly pursued a small number of law enforcement
officers who, in betrayal of their sworn duty to serve the public,
used their badges and guns as instruments of terror and personal
gain," said Salvador Hernandez, Assistant Director in Charge of the
FBI in Los Angeles. "The FBI, along with its law enforcement
partners, will continue to root out the small percentage of sworn
personnel that act outside the law."
This case was investigated by Special Agent Phil Carson of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the assistance of Steve
Sambar, Roger Mora and Mark Bigel of the Los Angeles and Long Beach
Police Departments. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S.
Attorney Douglas M. Miller of Los Angeles and Department of Justice
Trial Attorneys Jeffrey S. Blumberg and Joshua D. Mahan.
The Civil Rights Division is committed to the vigorous enforcement
of the federal criminal civil rights statutes, such as laws that
prohibit willful acts of misconduct by law enforcement officials.
In Fiscal Year 2007, the Criminal Section convicted the highest
number of defendants in its history, surpassing the record
previously set in Fiscal Year 2006.
The Department of Justice has compiled a significant record on
criminal civil rights law enforcement misconduct prosecutions in
the last seven years. During the last seven years, the Criminal
Section obtained convictions of 53 percent more defendants (391 v.
256) in color of law cases than the previous seven years.
