Mexico Dangerous / us criminal enterprises operating in

Michael Webster: Investigative reporter on May 1, 2008 8:00 pm PDT

The overwhelming influence and power of Mexican drug cartels that
drug trafficking organizations and Mexican criminal gangs operating in Mexico and the United States USA.
Have emerged in recent years as the most dangerous and politically influential drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere, but the world. Cartels Mexicans have existed for some time, have become increasingly powerful with the demise of the cartels of Medellin and Cali, Colombia and have mastered the Illicit USA
market drugs and other criminal enterprises.

According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, Mexican cartels are "the
predominant smugglers, transporters and wholesale distributors of cocaine, marijuana,
methamphetamine heroin produced in Mexico and the United States "and" are
extend its control over the distribution of these drugs in controlled areas
Colombian and Dominican criminal groups, and now are believed to all United States.

Besides drug trafficking, cartels have been linked to illegal immigrants, terrorism, smuggling of arms and
These products are laundered through seemingly legitimate local
companies.
.
Cartels by criminal gangs working for them have been involved in kidnapping and
military style training camps, some say it is the United States border

Robert Mueller, FBI director, described based USA-gangs as "more
organized, more violent and more widespread than ever. "The Department of Justice
estimated that approximately 30,000 gangs with over 800,000 members
U.S. Mueller believes these violent gangs pose a growing threat to the safety and
the safety of Americans.

As this reporter has documented Mexican Drug cartels are ordering decapitations enemies of the agreement, including the federal government and police officials of the city. Many of these victims were blindfolded and hooded before shooting.
Other types of abuse victims were killed as follows: physical beating, torture, or body dumped
street or lot torture involving beating, tooth removal, removal of appendages, the death by torture, strangulation, single shot in the head and / or multiple shots to the head and body.
Other tactics were the same over the head and / or face fully or partially wrapped with tape or other head or blind folds envelopes. Body often removed by the alternate "Pozole" method. The pozole is where the body of things still sometimes acid gas living in a barrel of 55 gallons and pay, battery and other corrosive chemicals horrible. The theory is that he seems to have the body to remove and easer to do what we can remain very difficult to identify later by authorities.
Many were beheaded with or without written messages on bodies or in vehicles.
Overview of methods of torture and killing are particularly brutal. On 6 September 2006
masked gunmen entered a nightclub in the Michoacan, fired weapons in the air and rolled
five human heads on the dance track. The gunmen left a sign among the
severed heads that read:
"The family does not kill by money. It does not kill women. What not to kill innocent
people, only those who deserve to die. Understand that this is divine justice. "
Sensitive alarming report from the United States Government in Mexico violence

By using these horrible and terrifying tactics the Cartels send a discouraging message to the President of Mexico Felipe Calderon Administration by adopting methods of intimidation made famous by terrorist groups in the Middle East.
Dozens of people have been decapitated Mexico so far this year, with his head stuck in fence posts, are in garbage bags and heads are thrown into a disco dance floor for all to see.
Dozens of U.S. citizens have been abducted, taken hostage and killed by their captors in Mexico and many cases remain unresolved. In addition, new cases of disappearances and kidnappings for ransom continue to be reported has not yet high level warning has been issued to protect Americans against this world class violence. Many of the victims kidnapped in deplorable jail like metal cages in the so-called safe houses.

U.S. intelligence reported that the contraband was a changed man
component of the activities of drug cartels. "This is of paramount importance in a post 9 / 11
Environment and a historical moment U.S. is more concerned than ever
secure its borders.
U.S. detainees have been kidnapped and killed in Mexico

Mexican cartels have also increased their relationships with prison and street gangs in
United States to facilitate drug trafficking, murders and kidnappings United States. For example, gangs
including the Latin Kings and Mara Salvatrucha (MS13), El Paso gang Barrio Azteca and many others know and unknown.

Federal authorities say the drug cartels in Mexico ultimately responsible for border violence have cemented the ties between street gangs as Barrio Azteca prison in the U.S. side. Azteca drugs and other U.S. retail strips get the Mexican cartels and Mexican gangs. Mexican gangs run their own distribution networks in the United States, which produce most of the methamphetamine used north of the border. Even Colombians turned several times to buy cocaine directly from producers in Bolivia, Peru and Afghanistan, even. These gangs are often the same agreement or alternative staff implementing the U.S. side of the border. Intelligence suggests Los Zetas have hired members of various gangs at different times, including El Paso gang Barrio Azteca, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, S.-13 Hermanos Pistoleros Latinos and to promote their criminal activities.

Many members of violent street gangs are actively involved in other crimes such as rape,
robbery and murder. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has found that
approximately half the gang were arrested violent criminal record,
arrests and convictions for crimes such as robbery, assault, rape and murder. This
figure includes only those whose criminal record is known. Around 90
percent of U.S. MS -13 members are foreign-born illegal aliens and depend on
Texas-Mexico border smuggling corridor to support their criminal operations. MS-13
members are involved in a variety of other types of criminal activity, including rape,
murder and extortion.

FBI Director Robert Mueller American band that describes itself as "more
organized, more violent and more widespread than ever. "The Justice Department
estimates are approximately 30,000 gangs with over 800,000 members

Dangerous Gangs Mexican cartel

U.S. DEA reports that Mexican drug cartels
Current operating on the border of our country are much more sophisticated and
What dangerous than any other groups of organized crime in law enforcement in the United States
history. In fact, these drug cartels and powerful smuggling rings rights and
gangs that exploit, have immense control over the highways in the United States
continue to pose formidable challenges to our efforts to ensure our border.

According to the end of Sheriff El Paso County, Leo Samaniego, drug cartels operating in the
southwest border of the United States is a country of "themselves" with intelligence capabilities,
weapons and communications equipment that challenges the Border Patrol and local law
application. Sheriff Samaniego advised his deputies to "reverse" if they clearly see
gunmen cartels and other criminal organizations.
Many of these sophisticated networks include placing observers with high-powered binoculars
and encrypted radios along smuggling routes to guide smugglers past the Border Patrol and other
operation of security forces along the border. In the Library of Congress a report on
Criminal and terrorist activities in Mexico describes how smugglers carry on a
"The technological arms race" with CBP and ICE.

Webb County, Rick Flores, Texas sheriff said he is concerned the level of
resource organizations concerning monopolies and criminal possession and use contrary to local law
implementation and suggested that cartels using rocket-propelled grenades … automatic assault
weapons, and "level four bulletproof vests and Kevlar helmets similar to what states United
military applications. Some local officials have taken steps to protect their staff from these
weapons. The sheriff of Hidalgo County, Texas, Sheriff prohibits Members in
his department patrols along the banks of the Rio Grande due to
threat of violence from the cartels.

Throughout the border with Mexico to the United States, drug cartels as organized criminal groups have
a strong presence in key strategic areas from Brownsville to San Diego
Includes dozens of ports of entry, and has important connections to interstate highways
all regions of the country. Provide groups organized crime with access to
the United States. These smuggling routes start in South America through Panama,
Honderous, Guatemala and Mexico and extends from the border to the coast to the border
ocean and points north up to Alaska.

Federal authorities say cartels the drug in Mexico who are ultimately responsible
border violence by having cemented these ties to street gangs like Barrio Azteca prison
in the American side. Drugs and other strips Azteca U.S. Retail Mexican cartels gain
and Mexican gangs. Mexican gangs run their own distribution networks United States
and produce more of the methamphetamine used north of the border. Even
overlook both the Colombians to buy cocaine directly from producers in Bolivia,
Peru and Afghanistan, even. These gangs are often the same agreement or performance replacement
U.S. side of the border. Intelligence suggests Los Zetas have hired members
different bands at different times, including El Paso gang Barrio Azteca Mexican Mafia,
Texas Syndicate MS-13, and Hermanos Pistoleros Latinos to further their criminal activities.
Dangerous Gangs Mexican cartel

The South Texas region alone covers approximately 625 miles of border territory – a total
of 20.963 miles square and the borders of three states in Mexico. Inside the territory
11 ports of entry that includes 15 international bridges. Directly across the cities of
Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo and El Paso are large Mexican cities, each with a population
600,000 to 1,500,000. Trains from Central America and Mexico, en route to
U.S. border from McAllen, Brownsville and El Paso Home highways and roads
all North points. These trains, usually between 90 and 160 cars long, travel in Central Europe
America through Mexico are one means of transport used Corporate criminals
enter the U.S. with human smuggling and others. Each year, thousands
of illegal aliens cling to the sides and top of cars for the journey north.

El Paso-Juarez corridor in west Texas is also the gateway for drugs destined
the main areas metropolitan United States. Mexican cartels drug transport
large quantities of methamphetamine and heroin produced in Mexico, marijuana and
Cocaine imported through the port of entry in El Paso with the main east-west and north / south
roads. As indicated earlier, these roads provide Mexican cartels
transportation routes for distribution of drugs into the U.S.. Drug cartels also
obtain warehouses in El Paso and surrounding areas hiding places and run ads in newspapers
and the Internet to recruit pilots in the region to transport drugs in different
destinations in the United States.

According to the federal government of the Alpine region is largely rural and sparsely populated, encompassing
Big Bend Corridor, a transshipment route for drugs entering the U.S. northeastern
Mexico. Drug cartels maintain command and control in North
Midland-Odessa and the peoples of the southern border Presidio and Redford.
The Laredo port of entry is the busiest in the second and the second most heavily traversed land Port of Entry
southwest border the exclusion of El Paso ports of entry / Juárez. Port of Laredo handled
about 6,000 vehicles per day. Forty percent of Mexican exports of Cross
in Laredo, Texas, where Interstate 35 connects directly to Dallas, and then across
United States.

U.S. Border Patrol Chief John Montoya describes this Port of Entry as a key "penetration
United States. "
"This is called a city gate link, not only in Mexico but in the United States. "The
very conditions that make the Laredo Port of Entry so attractive to legitimate commerce
also the ideal city for illicit drugs and human smuggling trade.

Cartels violent turf battle for control of smuggling corridors
Nuevo Laredo, San Diego. The neighboring villages near the border with Mexico
are the most important release of contraband entering the U.S..
These twin cities to along our border with Mexico is where much of the violence and drugs
cartel activity is, of course. The violence is due to the fact that cartels Drugs are the main
Now taken control over this coveted runners in the United States known known
"Plaza."
The product Plaza to through the big cities with large highway systems where foreign terrorists
and drugs can be arranged prior to transport to other regions of the States USA. Control
this corridor translates into control of all smuggling.

All criminal organizations that want to go through these established safe passages
United States shall pay a fee in the cartel that controls the place.

The Sinaloa cartel began to challenge the dominance of the Cartel Coveted southwestern Gulf
Texas corridor following the arrest of Gulf Cartel leader Osiel Cardenas in March 2003.
In prison, Arellano Felix, leader Tijuana cartel, and Cardenas forged an alliance
against the State of Sinaloa and its ally the Juarez cartel. Consequently, the agreements are largely aligned
two blocks, some which support the Gulf Cartel and others who advocate
Sinaloa Cartel. Are these two blocks that are involved in the massive lawn and violent
wars currently underway in northern Mexico

To protect and expand their crime, the Mexican drug cartels maintain highly
developed intelligence networks on both sides of the border and have hired private armies
to take enforcement action. For example, the leader of the Cartel Cardenas Gulf
employs a group of former elite military soldiers known as "Los Zetas." The Zetas are
unique among drug gangs Enforcer operating in "a private army under the
orders of the Gulf Cartel, Cardenas, first time, a drug baron had his own
paramilitaries. "Los Zetas have contributed to the domination of the Gulf Cartel
drug trade in much of Mexico and have fought to keep the influence of the cartel in the northern cities
after the arrest of Cardenas. The activities of the Zetas are not limited to the defense of
Cartel field northern Gulf of Mexico. The paramilitary force is also considered
control traffic routes along the eastern half of the US-Mexico border U.S. and others may
well.

The Zetas are considered a serious threat to public safety on both sides of the
U.S. Mexican border. They are well funded well equipped and have demonstrated
willingness to shoot, torture, and murder police officers, or rival cartel and gang
Members on both sides of the border. Federal authorities believe the law enforcement Zetas
among the most dangerous criminal enterprises in the Americas.

Reports indicate that while the Zetas were initially formed by members of the Mexican
Special Forces soldiers, now include federal, state and local police
personnel and civilians. Moreover, according to U.S. intelligence officials, Zetas
forces are recruiting former military personnel Special Guatemala known as Kaibiles
and members of the notorious gang known as the border called Maras, including violence
Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13). They are known as "Los Zetas"

According to federal law enforcement, these heinous acts was a revenge killing
between rival gangs. Beheadings have become common in many areas
Mexico, where cartel and gangs battle for control of lucrative smuggling corridors.
The heads are displayed to the public for the purpose of intimidation.
Another brutal means of torture and death is called "Stew." This practice
Putting a person in a 55 gallon drum, usually dead, but not always, and pouring various
Flammable liquids in the body, and a fire. A variant of this method is
place a tire around his neck, a burning man, burning the victim alive. The
remains are dumped on the roads as a message to those contemplating a visit to
posters. The ruthless methods employed by these cartels to torture and kill
competitors are not so different techniques used Al-Qaeda and other terrorists
organizations. This level of violence is particularly disturbing that the fight against cartels
these vicious murders just a stone's throw from U.S. soil.

Sometimes, violence and intimidation is captured on video. In 2005, a video
anonymously delivered to the Dallas Morning News showing four men, handcuffed and
As before a backdrop of black plastic, which describes the field outside
interrogators their work as murderers of the cartel. The men were members of the Zetas. The
video ends when one of the Zetas is shot in the head at close range by an outside
camera sensor. Authorities Police have found the body of slain
Zeta or three other men, living or dead.

U.S. officials the application of the law is struck with the resistance and determination of these
offenders. In the words of one senior law enforcement: "They [the Zetas] have
Texas-Mexico border wire. "For example, in 2005, barely six hours after taking the oath
Nuevo Laredo as police chief, Alejandro Dominguez was killed. Announced a
repression of the posters. They shot over 50 times. In mid-September
2006, a group of 25 people in Nuevo Laredo were gathered in a local hotel visa
Trip to U.S. for the job. "The Zetas mistakenly thought the workers were a
ay rival cartel and kidnapped tortured. The workers were released when
cartels realized their mistake. U.S. federal authorities Mexico repressive said
Police would not respond to requests for emergency aid made during the
incident.

The violence spread to the neighboring states of Mexico also has a common border
with the United States Nuevo León, once considered one of the safest states and home to some
of the richest families in Mexico, saw the killing of three top law enforcement
officials had voted against the drug cartels. In September 2006, two
Police chiefs have been murdered and the researcher Crimes the top. In the last two years, six
journalists covering drug trafficking along the border have also been killed.

The Zetas have become completely entrenched along the border with Mexico and the U.S.
increased in 1200 with hundreds of others in a support network throughout
Mexico.
In an example of the capabilities of the Zeta, a shooting September 22, 2006 in New
Laredo between the Zetas and white murder took about 40 minutes.
The shootout included bazookas and grenades were killed and about five
Zetas and injured approximately five.

In response to such aggressive efforts by the Zetas to defend and control parts
Mexico and its border with the U.S., the Sinaloa cartel established its own heavilyarmed
Enforcer gang, "Los Negros." The group works Similar to the Zetas.
Los Negros, attempting to wrest control of the Zetas in the local police in New
Laredo are believed to be responsible for increased violence. By
Webb County Sheriff Rick Flores, the war on cartels and the rise of violence
performance caused by the paramilitaries have caused a great man borders
exodus from Nuevo Laredo to Laredo, Texas.

Federal, state and local officials of law enforcement witness linked more
between Mexican cartels in drug smuggling illegal alien rings, United States and gangs.
The smuggling of human beings operating in the Southwest border can not move
their human cargo through the corridors of the drug cartel controlled without paying a fee.35 The
typical Mexican illegal alien now pays approximately $ 1,200 to $ 2,500. For foreign
countries other than Mexico that the price is much higher, and may be even
more attractive to the cartels. The Aliens and terrorists are often paid an exorbitant
higher rates in the range of $ 45,000 to $ 100,000 per person. In fact, it is estimated
that trafficking in human beings through Mexico to the United States each year puts billions of
dollars in the hands of criminals.

U.S. officials application law, there are strong incentives for drug cartels
diversify their criminal activities to include trade in human beings. Human
smuggling can be more profitable than drug trafficking and the benefits greatly from a distance
risks for the cartels. There are several reasons for this. implementation offers
with other types of products – drugs not hide human beings are capable.
Consequently, smugglers can transport large numbers of foreigners illegal across the border
once and will meet with some success.
On the other hand, prosecutions for human trafficking are extremely low. In general, groups
illegal aliens caught trying to cross the border will not identify the smuggler
group. For those smugglers that are identified and captured, most are simply returned
in their country of origin. Therefore, there is a revolving door for smugglers. As
unlikely the smuggler will processed or she may opt for voluntary withdrawal, no face
criminal penalties and smuggle again. As smugglers charge anywhere from
$ 2,000 to $ 60,000 foreign and face little or no consequences if caught, the man
smuggling is a business much less risky than drug trafficking.

Authorities federal law enforcement also report that the cartels are not only
engaged in the business of smuggling human beings, are also coordinating actively with the
Ring current traffic of human beings, using diversionary tactics to protect their positions. There
is not uncommon for cartels to facilitate the crossing of fifty illegal aliens through
United States-Mexico border to divert resources to patrol the border out of a field that having account
transporting large quantities of drugs through.

Criminal organizations are indeed very advanced, well-equipped, and very
adaptable coercive measures against them calculated. In January 2006, ICE
agents and police officers and ATF agents in Laredo Department saw a
huge cache weapons in Laredo, Texas. Authorities confiscated two completed
improvised explosive devices (IEDs) materials for making thirty-three more, military
style grenades, twenty-six grenade triggers, large quantities of AK-47s and AR-15 assault
firearms, ammunition, £ 1,280, in silence, kits machine gun mount, 300 primers,
bulletproof vests, police scanners, scopes Sniper, drugs and cash. These crises
illustrate the level of violence along the border, especially in Nuevo Laredo,
Juarez and Tijuana.

Many in law enforcement believe that the labor work, resources and technology used by U.S.
implementation should be strengthened to combat the highly organized and sophisticated cartels.
These criminal enterprises have seemingly unlimited money to buy the advanced
technology and weapons available. The posters are able to break the encryption on both
Border Patrol deputy marshals and radio stations. Viewpoints posters, with the military
quality equipment, are placed at strategic points on the U.S. side of the border
movements to monitor the implementation of the laws of the United States. In response, the cartels then move their
goods. The cartels use automatic weapons assault, bazookas, grenades
launchers and improvised explosive devices. In contrast, U.S. Border Patrol agents are given .40-caliber Beretta

Not all illegal immigrants are crossing the USA to find work. Execution
officials indicate that there are people crossing the border who are forced to
leave their country of origin because of their criminal activity. These dangerous criminals
running from the law in other countries and seek refuge in America. For
For example, we know that many agents of the cartels in Mexico actually live
USA. The information received by various agencies under the law indicates that these
offenders living in our communities and come to America to escape
possibility of apprehension in Mexico.
The Violent Crimes Institute conducted a 12-month period a comprehensive study of illegal immigrants
sexual crimes and murders committed during the period January 1999
April 2006. This study clearly shows that America faces a dangerous threat, sexual
predators who cross U.S. borders illegally.

The Institute analyzed 1,500 cases in depth, including serial rapes, serial murders, sexual
murder and pedophilia committed by illegal immigrants. Police reports, public
records, interviews with police and accounts are included all media. The offenders were
located thirty-six states, with most offenders were located in states with
largest number of illegal immigrants. California was ranked first, followed by Texas,
Arizona, New Jersey, New York and Florida.
Based on the estimated population of 12 million illegal immigrants and the fact that young people
men comprise the majority of this population than the general population of the United States, the Institute
Sex offenders found in the immigrant group illegals are a higher percentage.
ice reports and public records show sex offenders comprising 2% of illegal
apprehended. From this figure of 2%, which is conservative, the Institute believes that
There are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States.
The study concluded, when applied to ongoing illegal immigration at the border, these
estimates translate to 93 sex offenders and twelve serial sexual offenders coming in
Borders U.S. illegally each day. The 1,500 inmates in this study had a total of 5999
victims. Every sexual offender averaged four victims. This puts the estimate
round numbers to 960,000 victims of 88 months examined in this study.
The violence of illegal aliens is not limited in communities border. Residents and the right
the implementation of the interior cities are also vulnerable to criminals crossing the border.

The number of aliens other than Mexican ("OTM") illegally crossing the border has
increased at an alarming rate in recent years. Based on Patrol U.S. Border
statistics, there were 30 147 OTM apprehended in 2003, 44 614 in fiscal year 2004, 165 178
108 025 2005 and 2006. 210,027 years fiscal 2007. Most of them have been
detained in the southwestern U.S. border.
The significant increase in cattle over the border, it is harder for Border
patrol officers to easily identify and process each, thereby increasing the chances an
potential terrorist could to slip through the system. In addition, there is no specific
mechanism for determining the number of apprehensions over the cattle round and successfully enter
in the country illegally.
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides care for cattle over
apprehended by the border police are thirty-five countries designated as
"Special interest countries." According to the Border Patrol David Aguilar, Chief, Special
countries of interest have been "designated by our intelligence community that countries
people could export, which could affect our country on the path of terrorism. "
Although the majority of overall apprehensions by the Border Patrol occur in the
Tucson sector in Arizona, the border Texas – McAllen area in particular – now
the rest of the country and Special Interest OTM apprehensions Alien. From
September 11, 2001, DHS has reported an increase 501% detentions along the US-Mexico border
the border of particular interest abroad.

The data indicate that each year hundreds of immigrants countries known for illegal
harbor terrorists or promote terrorism are routinely encountered and arrested
trying to enter illegally into the United States between ports of entry. Recently, USA
Intelligence reported that seven Iraqis were found in Brownsville, Texas, in June
2006. In August 2006, an Afghan man was found swimming across the Rio Grande
Rio Hidalgo, Texas, 104 as recently as October 2006, seven Chinese
seized in the region Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
The items were found by law enforcement on the banks of the Rio Grande
River and inland that indicate possible links with a terrorist organization or a member of
military units of Mexico. A jacket with patches from countries where Al Qaeda is
known exploit has been found in Jim Hogg County, Texas by the Border Patrol. The
patches on the jacket of the city, an Arabic military badge representing an aircraft in flight
in a building and heading towards a tower, and another showing an image of a lion
head with wings and a parachute emanating from the animal. Part lower patch
reading and immortality "martyr", "path of eternal life" or "."

Border Patrol Chief, David Aguilar was asked by a journalist
KGNS television station in Laredo, Texas, on research results
jacket. Chief Aguilar responded that the patches are not Al Qaeda, but
countries in which Al Qaeda was known function.

According to the testimony of RCE, September 8, 2004, agents ICE arrested and Neera Zaia
Basima Sesi. The human smuggling organization headed by Zaia specialized in
smuggling Iraqi, Jordanian and Syrian and was responsible traffic
More than 200 foreigners during the investigation. The investigation has been opened
when a confidential informant familiar with the organization reported smuggling continues
Activities by Zaia, who had been convicted of alien smuggling. Survey Tool
revealed that efforts aliens were smuggled from the Middle East to staging areas
Central and South America. Once in these rest areas, the conspirators responsible
traffic of aliens from these sites in the United States or its territories.
The members of Hezbollah, the terrorist organization based in Lebanon, have already entered
United States across our Southwest border. Mars 1, 2005, Mahmoud Youssef
Kourani pleaded guilty to providing material support to Hezbollah. Kourani is
illegal alien who had been smuggled by the United States-Mexico border after bribing a
Mexico's consular official in Beirut for a visa to travel Mexico. Kourani and the Middle East
This paid travel companion, then the coyotes in Mexico to guide them in the United States
USA. Kourani residence established between the Lebanese expatriate community
Dearborn, Michigan and began soliciting funds for Hezbollah terrorists back in
Lebanon. He is the brother of the chief of military operations of Hezbollah in southern
Lebanon.

Salim Boughader Mucharrafille, owner of a service in Tijuana, Mexico,
was arrested for illegally smuggling more than two hundred Lebanese illegally
United States, many of whom have ties to terrorists of Hezbollah. Robert L.
Boatwright, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent in El Paso, Texas
reported: "We have arrested people from countries that support terrorism … they
were deliberately omitted and there was a great deal of information collection
of them. "
The statements of senior Mexican officials before and after September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks indicate that one or more Islamic terrorist organizations has
sought to establish a presence in Mexico. May 2001, former Security Mexico National
advisor and UN ambassador, Adolfo Aguilar Zinser, reported that
"Spanish and Islamic terrorist groups are using Mexico as a refuge. "
Federal Bureau of Investigation director Robert Mueller has confirmed in his testimony
"What are not people of the countries al-Qaeda are known
change the names of its survey Hispano-Islamic name and obtaining false
Hispanic identity, to learn to speak Spanish pretending to be Hispanic
immigrants.
These examples highlight the dangerous intersection between traditional transnational
criminal activities such as threats to human health and drug trafficking, and more concerned
Homeland Security. Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez summed up: "I dare say that
at any time, day or night, you can get on a boat and crossing back and forth
between Texas and Mexico and not get caught. If smugglers can bring tons
marijuana and cocaine any time and can smuggle 20 to 30 people at a time, you can
imagine it would be easy to put in 2-3 terrorists or its mass destruction weapons
destruction across the river and not be detected. The chances of apprehension are
Slim.
Moreover, according to U.S. military officials and intelligence, Venezuela
appears as a potential center of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere, providing assistance
radical Islamists in the Middle East and other terrorists.
General James Hill, commander of U.S. Southern Command, warned the United
The states face an increased risk of two terrorists of the Middle East Latin relocation
America and terrorist groups in the region. General Hill said those groups
Hezbollah had established bases in Latin America. These groups benefit from
smuggling hotspots, such as the tri-border region between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, and
Venezuelan island of Margarita to channel funds to terrorist groups worldwide.
Venezuela is a support, including identity documents that could be useful
with radical Islamic groups, say some U.S. officials. The Venezuelan government
Miles issued bonds, the equivalent social security cards, people
Places like Cuba, Colombia and Middle Eastern nations that host foreign terrorist
organizations. U.S. Officials believe that the government of Venezuela has issued
documents to people who should not be done and some of these ballots
could be used to obtain Venezuelan passports and even American visas,
what could the owner to evade immigration controls and enter the United States.
Recently, several Pakistanis arrested in the US-Mexico border United
fraudulent Venezuelan documents.
"Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, has been well have spoken of Iran on the uranium,"
Said a senior official was quoted by the Washington Times. Chavez made
several trips to Iran and expressed his solidarity with the hard-line mullahs in the country. He
has hosted Iranian officials in Caracas, endorsed Tehran's nuclear ambitions and expressed
support for the insurgency in Iraq. The Times reports Venezuela is also is talking
Hamas sends representatives to Venezuela to raise money for the militant group
Chavez elected Palestinian government is trying to build anti-US axis that also
including Cuba's Fidel Castro. "I'm on the offensive," Chavez said on Al-Jazeera
channel, "because that attack is the best form of defense. We are conducting a
offensive battle … .
Taking into account what is happening in Chavez's Venezuela, some U.S. officials regrets
Terrorism is seen primarily as a Middle East problem and that the U.S. must
begin to seek protection from its southern flank. An official intelligence in the United States expressed concern
that "Counterterrorism issues are not vigorously pursued hemisphere."
Another official intelligence official said suspected terrorists were detained in Guantanamo
questioned the connections to Latin America. Ultimately, when it comes
terrorism so close to the shores of America, "the official said," We do not even know what we do
I know. "
Islamic radical groups Support Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamiya Al Gamate are all
assets in Mexico and other Latin American countries. These groups generate funds through
traffic drug money laundering and weapons transactions, millions of dollars each year
through their multiple illicit activities. These cells back to East Middle and extend
to this hemisphere the sophisticated global support structure of international terrorism.
Although the threats to our nation from international terrorism are well known, less known
threats arising from drug trafficking to penetrate deeply into this country.

federal entities created by law to stop approximately 10-30 percent
of illegal aliens crossing the border. Southwest U.S. intelligence officials
border, however, are less optimistic. Of course, it is unclear how many illegal
foreigner of any nationality evade capture by the police each year and succeed in
Sign in U.S. illegally.
One thing, however, is unclear – hundreds of people from countries known to
harbor terrorists or promote terrorism are caught trying to enter U.S. illegally
along the land border, and the influx of immigrants and our porous border create
various and abundant opportunities for concealment. Given the continuing threat
by al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations show the vulnerability of our borders – the need for immediate
action to enforce our borders could not be more evident.

The federal government has taken positive steps to secure its borders, but much remains
necessary to combat the increasingly sophisticated network powerful and violent criminal
who succeeded in the illegal smuggling of people or not, in our
countries. The growth of these criminal groups, along the border and
potential for terrorists to exploit the vulnerabilities they create, is a real
threat for U.S. national security.
It is imperative that immediate steps be taken to strengthen security along our border with Mexico.

Thousands of Mexican soldiers were sent to cities and towns of the Mexican border, after many pleas from residents and local politicians. Mexican troops arrived in troop transport plane C-130 Hercules military transport vehicles, attack helicopters, troop personal carries, pickups and SUVs with machine guns 50 mounted. The Mexican Army and Federal Police already operate across the border.

Mexican soldiers are armed with combat American supplied M-16 rifles fully automatic. This latest action by Mexican President Calderon now places Mexican armed soldiers on the border of the United States with Texas New Mexico, Arizona and California.
These Mexican troop movement places more than 30,000 Mexican troops fighting against the Mexican cartels throughout the country. These operations, carried out by the Mexican army would provoke a violent response from Mexican drug cartels, authorities said.
