Ridge: the Sargeant Schultz of the first Bush regime
Al Qaeda seeks tie to local gangs – The Washington Times: Nation/Politics – September 28, 2004 — This is the sort of article that was hushed up before the eleection last year and since then nothing has changed and Ashcroft and Ridge (Col. Klink and Sgt Schultz) ran for the hills. Very bad scene.
A top al Qaeda lieutenant has met with leaders of a violent Salvadoran criminal gang with roots in Mexico and the United States — including a stronghold in the Washington area –in an effort by the terrorist network to seek help infiltrating the U.S.-Mexico border, law enforcement authorities said. Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, a key al Qaeda cell leader for whom the U.S. government has offered a $5 million reward, was spotted in July in Honduras meeting with leaders of El Salvador’s notorious Mara Salvatrucha gang, which immigration officials said has smuggled hundreds of Central and South Americans “”mostly gang members” into the United States.
Authorities said al Qaeda terrorists hope to take advantage of a lack of detention space within the Department of Homeland Security that has forced immigration officials to release non-Mexican illegal aliens back into the United States, rather than return them to their home countries. Less than 15 percent of those released appear for immigration hearings.
Ashcroft noted that increased enforcement efforts were under way in the wake of a rise of arrests of border jumpers from Afghanistan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia and Syria. Authorities said Mara Salvatrucha gang members moved into the Los Angeles area in the 1980s and developed a reputation for being organized and extremely violent. The gang since has expanded into the Washington area, including Virginia and Maryland, and into Oregon, Alaska, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Georgia and Florida. More than 3,000 Mara Salvatrucha gang members are thought to be in the Washington area, with a major operation in Northern Virginia.
“HO-GAN!!!
I think he’s with the Home Depot now. My buddy was there and said they are laying people off now. The guy said, the manager was stocking the shelves with red duct tape. Another bad scene.
By 2006 they will need a passport to cross the border from Mexico.
All smugglers pay attention because it will be you whom must verify that all illegal immigrants have one. Any illegal immigrants entering the US without a passport will be forced to work in Chicken Packing plants or the world’s largest department store for less than minimum wage.
Illegal immigrants with terrorists leanings may use fraudulant documents to avoid the chicken plants.
