Gang Warfare Coming to a Neighborhood Near You

Guatemalan gang memberApproximately 100 law enforcement officers from across the state attended the Georgia Gang Investigators Association meeting on Wednesday, held this year at Gwinnett PD’s training center. For the first time, reporters were allowed to attend on the condition that they not reveal certain information about an ongoing investigation into a violent Latino gang that targets the drug stash houses of the Mexican cartels operating in Gwinnett County. From the AJC article:

The members of this gang are extremely violent and have been known to cut the ears off children or burn them with hot irons to get what they want, Bright said. The gang is operating in at least five states, but most of its members are foreign nationals.

The targeting of cartel drug houses by competing gangs is a natural progression; a “maturing” of the cycle of crime involving drugs and organized crime. The next steps in this lifecycle are just as predictable.

I pray that I am wrong—but it is only a matter of time before an innocent bystander, a child playing on the street, is killed by a stray bullet from a shootout between gang members. Or we will soon read about the torture or death of an innocent family, their home mistakenly targeted by gangsters trying to take down another cartel stash house.

On that day, will we understand that our elected officials had done all that they could to avoid such a tragedy? Or will we question why, even with ample warning of potential disaster, our County Commissioners cut police services including “quality of life” code enforcement officers and failed to do all that they could to reduce the numbers of illegal aliens in our county?

    This is the amount of incredulous influence the–OPEN BORDER–lobbyists (business power brokers and ethnic zealots)) have on certain Democratic devious rabble? Once again the senate top echelon have huddled secretly (BEHIND CLOSED DOORS), recklessly placing E-Verify worker identification system in jeopardy. The obnoxious

    R-O-P-E Senate group as its being called on the Internet and nationwide, who are marked as Reid, Obama, Pelosi Emmanuel have indifferently pushed American Workers in the background, allowing the millions of illegal aliens to take their jobs. They have driven into the ground amendments from appearing in the final Homeland Security “conference committee” bill. They eradicated–ANY CHANCE–of a Senate’s permanent authorization of the E-Verify program.

    They have religiously under-funded, undermined the Senate’s mandate to beef up and complete the final 300 mile Mexican border fence. Then again it was never the original border wall as designed by Rep. Duncan Hunter. Illegal Aliens would have first had to scale the–FIRST–fence, run across the two lane highway for the Border Patrol vehicles, then scale an identical–SECOND FENCE. Under funded and weakened just like E-Verify, the police 287(g) arrest and detainment and ceasing the massive ICE raids. Finally the ROPE group strangled the Senate (already) passed ability of countrywide businesses to run their previous hires employees through E-Verify. So you can guess this is a harbinger to drop on the AMERICAN WORKER YET ANOTHER ULTIMATELY EXPENSIVE BLANKET AMNESTY. THOSE TAXPAYERS WILL BE FORCED TO PICK UP A TRILLION DOLLAR TAB. Be advised that Reid D-NV , Pelosi D-CA have one of the largest population of illegal immigrants in the country, who they are subservient too. Remember to expend your frustration and anger at 202-224-3121on your lawmakers. They are juggling with millions of American Workers job lifeline, by pandering to people who shouldn’t even be here?

    MY SUGGESTION IS DON”T BUY ANY SERVICES FROM BUSINESS THAT DOESN’T DISPLAY THE E-VERIFY PLACARD. Remember the real conniving happens in rooms hidden from the public awareness in conference committees. In addition, Remember Harry Reid as an incumbent Senator who carries the blemish of being anti-American Worker, Anti-Sovereignty must not be re-elected. Speaker Pelosi must go? So must Emmanuel? They have proved they cannot be trusted As NUMBERSUSA president says,” With no chance now of E-Verify dying in any minute, because they couldn’t annul the 3 year extension? The pro-amnesty forces no longer can try to use it as a bargaining chip. States, counties, cities and businesses can now be quite confident that they can set policy based on the E-Verify program being around.” IT’S NOT PERMANENT YET THANKS TO ROPE. This group has given preference to illegal workers instead of the 15 million authorized AMERICAN WORKERS. COMPREHEND MORE OF THE CORRUPTION THAT CANNOT BE DENIED BY POLITICIANS AT JUDICIAL WATCH. NUMBERSUSA will explain in detail the consequences of the illegal immigration occupiers. CAPSWEB for OVERPOPULATION information.
